Travis Kelce has always been the life of the party, but even the Kansas City Chiefs superstar couldn’t hide his confusion when his brother Jason Kelce first dropped the bombshell about his pregnancy with wife Kylie. And it’s safe to say Travis’ reaction was nothing short of hilarious!
In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis took fans behind the scenes of the moment when Jason shared the news of their first pregnancy. The 36-year-old tight end admitted he completely missed the memo, joking that he’s often “three days late” to catch on to what’s really going on.
Travis’s Hilarious Reaction to Baby Socks Gift
It all started when Jason and Kylie gifted Travis a humidor, but there was something unusual inside. “I’m opening this humidor, and there are baby socks in there,” Travis recalled, laughing. “I’m like, ‘What the hell are these?’ I’m staring at Kylie like, ‘Thanks for the humidor, but why the baby socks?’”
It wasn’t until Jason looked at him with a grin and said, “You’re going to be an uncle,” that Travis finally connected the dots. “That was my ‘Aha!’ moment,” Travis joked, still clearly amused by how oblivious he was to his brother’s big news.
Uncle Trav: The ‘King of the Funcles’
Despite the initial confusion, Travis has embraced his role as the doting uncle to Jason and Kylie’s four daughters. From getting a custom “Uncle Trav” shirt for baby Wyatt to being dubbed the “king of the funcles” by Kylie, Travis has shown that being an uncle is one of his favorite roles. “I’m the fun one,” Travis quipped during the podcast, adding that when he visits, he’s instantly pulled into puzzles, block building, and all sorts of fun activities.
Kylie, who has shared that Travis is “the absolute best uncle you can imagine,” previously joked that her daughters might like their “Uncle Trav” more than they like Jason. “Poor guy doesn’t even get to sit on the couch when he visits,” she laughed. “Our daughters make him sit on the floor and play with them for hours. He’s the best.”
Travis’s Soft Spot for Wyatt
Kylie also revealed that Travis has a particular soft spot for his eldest niece, Wyatt. “I told him, ‘You know you can tell Wyatt no,’” Kylie joked. “But Travis said, ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’” Clearly, “Uncle Trav” will do anything to make his nieces happy!
Despite the funny moments, it’s clear that Travis is head over heels for his nieces, and Kylie and Jason are soaking in the joy of their growing family.
