"It's very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like [Travis] more than they like Jason," Kylie, who welcomed the couple's third daughter Bennett Llewellyn in February 2023, said of her brother-in-law. "He is like the absolute best uncle you can imagine."

For many big events over the past several months, Travis has been sure that mom is by his side. During Travis' Kelce Jam music festival in April 2023, Donna came on stage with her son in a coordinated denim look and busted out a few dance moves.
"Listen, she would get me. She would get me," Kelce told PEOPLE when sharing that his mom could beat him in a dance battle. "You throw on some B-52's, you'll see my mom start to go crazy."

Along with his football skills, Travis has also become known and loved for his dance moves — particularly the ones he busts out in the end zone to celebrate a touchdown.
He's a Loving Brother
And of course, fans have come to love watching the relationship between Travis and his older brother, Jason, on and off the field.
Though they play on different teams in the NFL, because the pair is just two years apart, they both played for the same college team when they suited up for the University of Cincinnati.
Despite wearing different colors on the field now, Travis revealed that his number, 87, pays tribute to his big bro's birth year.
"You're the only reason why I wear 87 anyways," Travis told Jason on the sidelines during a post-game exchange. "I never told you that, man. You started the legacy."
The two now also host a podcast together called, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, which debuted in September 2022.
