Jason Kelce attended the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2025 Super Bowl parade after the controversy surrounding his support of his former team.
The retired NFL star, 37, celebrated the Eagles’ win at the Friday, February 14, parade in Philadelphia. Kelce was spotted on the streets of Philadelphia walking celebrating with his former team. At one point he posed with the Eagles’ Vince Lombardi trophy, per a video shared via X.
The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Sunday, February 9, Super Bowl. The game was an unexpected blowout, with a final score of 40-22.
Ahead of the game, Jason was forthcoming about his conflicting feelings since he played center for the Eagles for 13 seasons from 2011 to 2024 and his brother, Travis Kelce, has been a tight end for the Chiefs since 2013. After the Super Bowl, Jason faced backlash for his support of the Eagles despite his brother’s defeat.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond full of support, laughter and, of course, football. As the brothers have found success in the NFL, they have shared glimpses of their relationship off the field. Their family even served as inspiration for Travis’ Saturday Night Live monologue, which he hosted for the first […]
In a lengthy X post on Tuesday, February 11, Jason — who previously won the 2018 Super Bowl with the Eagles and lost to Travis, 35, and the Chiefs at the 2023 Super Bowl — addressed the difficult position he was in regarding this year’s game.
“Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates and friends on being SB LIX Champions!!” he wrote. “That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago. On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates and coaches in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.”
Jason noted that he was “very proud” of the Eagles, acknowledging that they “have persevered greatly, answered their critics amazingly and proved themselves to be undoubtedly the best team this season.”
If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are indeed endgame, she’s seemingly already won over her in-laws. The Grammy winner and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end began dating during summer 2023. That September, Swift started attending Chiefs games, sitting with the athlete’s mother, Donna Kelce, for the first time on October 1, 2024. That same […]
“As for my brother, there isn’t a person I love or care about more,” he continued. “It has been tough to process these feelings. Of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want, my pity. He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past. I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, but in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever.”
During the Wednesday, February 12, episode of the brothers’ “New Heights” podcast, Travis — who won Super Bowls with the Chiefs in 2020, 2023 and 2024 — assured Jason that he knew he “always had [his] support.”
“You don’t have to explain anything to anybody. As long as the people right here [know]. I know who Jason Kelce is, and I know my brother and what his intentions are and nobody can ever f–king confuse that,” Travis told Jason. “I hear it loud and clear, and I think the people in the Philadelphia organization understand exactly who you are and what you represent.”
