Jason Kelce Fumbles Confirmation of Brother Travis' Taylor Swift Romance
Professional football player Jason Kelce fumbled the ball a bit in a recent interview, as his comments about his brother Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift created some confusion.
The 35-year-old was interviewed on DeCamara & Ritchie on Audacy's SportsRadio 94 WIP on Wednesday, Sept. 20, when he was asked about his younger brother's rumored romance with the pop star.
Initially, Jason explained that he doesn't know much about Travis' love life, saying, "I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world." But then he added, "Having said that, man, I think they're doing great and I think it's all 100 percent true, and I hope this thing goes a mile."

Jason quickly followed up the comment with the note, "No, I'm joking, I don't know what's happening," but people couldn't help but latch on to the quote.
Some fans were shocked at the statement, with one person re-tweeting the audio on X (formerly known as Twitter) and saying, "His brother just confirmed they're dating?!"
Another called out the radio station for only writing the quote from Jason, "I believe it is 100 percent true," in the post, leaving out the football player's denial that came immediately after, writing, "HE LITERALLY SAYS HE'S JOKING."
On Thursday, Sept. 14, Jason was also surprised with a question about the possible romance of Swift and Travis after his football game.
He said of the rumors, "I cannot comment...I don't really know what's going on there. So, yeah, I know Travis is having fun, and we'll see what happens with whoever he ends up with."
The rumors first started last week, when it was reported that they were "quietly hanging out." Since then, neither Swift nor Travis have shared any public comments on the dating rumors.
