Jason Kelce helped his Philadelphia Eagles move to 2-0 with a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football – then was quizzed on whether brother Travis is dating Taylor Swift.

Rumours have swirled that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is ‘hanging out’ with the pop superstar. The younger of the two Kelce brothers attempted to give her a bracelet with his number when attending one of her concerts earlier this year but they failed to meet.

He later went public with his failed attempts and it’s now been claimed the pair have gotten close and been hanging out in New York City, according to The Messenger. Jason Kelce was put on the spot about those reports by NFL legend Tony Gonzalez, who claimed he was asking “on behalf” of his 15-year-old daughter.

Kelce had just finished a tremendous performance for the Eagles on Thursday Night Football when he joined Amazon Prime Video’s post-game show alongside teammate Jalen Hurts. When he was posed the question, he refused to confirm or deny his brother’s new romance.

“I’ve seen these rumors, I cannot comment,” he replied. “Ever since Catching Kelce, everybody has been infatuated by Travis’s love life.

“I don’t really know what’s going on there. I know Trav is having fun and we’ll see what happens with whoever he ends up with.”

‘Catching Kelce’ was a reality TV show aired back in 2016, which featured Travis Kelce dating a girl from each state in America in a bid to find love. In the end, Kentucky’s Maya Benberry won Kelce’s heart but their relationship didn’t last long.

Jason Kelce has already poked fun at his brother over his failed attempts to reach out to Swift when she had a concert at the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium earlier this year. On their New Heights podcast, Travis explained: “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings.

“So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”

Jason then tried to wind up his brother, as Swift is reportedly a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. “She probably hasn’t got over the Super Bowl yet, she’s a big Eagles fan,” Jason said. “Maybe she just made something up and didn’t want to talk to you.”

Earlier this week, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski backed the pair to be a power couple and compared them to Ken and Barbie.

“I think Travis is a very thoughtful guy,” Gronkowski said to FanDuel. “And if they started dating, that would be hands down the No.1 Ken and Barbie in the NFL.

“No doubt about that, so let’s hope it happens, that would be really cool if Travis and Taylor Swift were dating. Come on Taylor let’s make it happen, let’s go!”
