Travis Kelce Spotted Wiping Away Tears at Jason Kelce's Retirement Announcement

Jason Kelce #62 of the Philadelphia Eagles and Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs

Following a year's worth of rumors of his retirement, Jason Kelce has finally, officially confirmed that this past NFL season was his last.

The Eagles center hosted a press conference on Monday, March 4, 2024, where he broke down in tears as he shared the news with the world, but he wasn't the only one.

His family, including brother Travis Kelce, was present to support him, and the Kansas City Chiefs star couldn't control his own emotions as he watched his brother, who shared several memories from his thirteen seasons on the Philly-based team, detailed the Eagles' loss to the Chiefs during Super Bowl LVII.

"I won't forget falling short to the Chiefs and the immense heartbreak I had selfishly, for myself and for my teammates," he recalled. "And at the same time the amount of pride I had for my brother climbed the mountaintop once again."

"It was really my brother and I our whole lives," he added. "We did almost everything together—competed, fought, laughed, cried, and learned from each other. There is no chance I'd be here without the bond that Travis and I share."

Fans, of course, were moved to tears as the 36-year-old confirmed what fans suspected since this year's Super Bowl, when news leaked of his reported decision—and Travis was right there with them.

Eliot Shorr-Parks, a reporter focused on the Eagles, captured an emotional moment as Travis wiped tears out of his eyes while he watched his brother speak, and uploaded footage from the moment to Twitter.

The reporter also shared a heartwarming video of Jason hugging his entire family, starting with Travis and ending with his wife, Kylie Kelce, once he was done speaking.

Needless to say, it's a tough loss for fans to process. But they're also likely wishing him the best on this new chapter of his life.
