Kylie Kelce tells fun story about Chiefs’ Travis Kelce being a ‘funcle’ to her daughter
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason, have had some big-name guests on their New Heights podcast in recent weeks.
LeBron James, Caitlin Clark and Will Ferrell have joined the show, but none of them has elicited a reaction quite like one of the infrequent guests on New Heights.
That’d be Wyatt Kelce, the 5-year-old daughter of Jason Kelce.
Travis Kelce’s face lights up whenever Wyatt makes a surprise appearance. Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, has her own podcast and spoke with Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews this week.
Andrews mentioned Wyatt at one point on the Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast. That led to a fun anecdote about Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from Kylie Kelce.
“I always say if she doesn’t win an Oscar, I want my money back,” Kylie Kelce said. “Whenever she gets to go downstairs and talk to uncle Trav, it is like, ‘Uncle Trav, guess what, dah, dah, dah.’”
Erin Andrews then made a confession: “That’s how I feel talking to Uncle Trav. I feel like I all of a sudden need to tell him so many things.”
Kylie Kelce shared that Wyatt loves talking to Uncle Trav on the computer.
“That’s exactly what the problem is because Jason will be like, ‘OK, go upstairs with mom, and I can still see her, like, nodding with the headphones on,” Kylie Kelce said. “And I’m like, Travis is over there, like, ‘No way tell me more.’ And I’m like, ‘Trav, stop talking to her, and she’ll come back upstairs. Like, you’re engaging with her.’
“I mean, I get it. He’s exciting. He’s a fun guy. The king of funcles, really.”
I think we can all believe that Travis Kelce would be the king of fun uncles, right?
You can watch the clip here, but there is cursing so be warned.
