Jason Kelce Shares Unusual Response to Who He’s Rooting for in Super Bowl as Brother Travis' Chiefs Take on His Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce knows exactly who he is cheering on at this year’s Super Bowl! And it's not who you'd expect.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 37, said on the latest episode of his New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast released on Wednesday, Jan. 29 that he is supporting legendary singer Cher at the Super Bowl instead of his former team or his brother Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jason said as a surprise fan of the music icon, “Anytime somebody asks me who I'm rooting for, I'm gonna say I'm rooting for Cher," while also discussing the singer's recent iHeart Radio Music Awards nomination in competition with Travis, 35, for best surprise guest.

Travis understood the sentiment raving over Cher's 1998 hit "Believe," saying, "The one song, man, will be forever one of my favorite songs."

Jason also jammed out to the track multiple times throughout Wednesday's episode as he got excited for the upcoming Super Bowl.

Moments earlier in the episode, Travis shared his reaction to the nomination he received for his cameo at his girlfriend Taylor Swift's London Eras show in June 2024. “Thank you for the nomination, iHeart. I had a blast, surprising everyone over there in London," he said.

Switching back to the Super Bowl, Jason said in the episode that in reality, he is rooting for both his former team and for his younger brother Travis — who will aim for a record-breaking third-straight win with the Chiefs — in what is sure to be a night of mixed emotions.

“That's the reality of it. No matter what on game day, I'm gonna be happy for one of those sides, and I'm gonna be sad for the other side,” Jason, who was decked out in Eagles gear during the episode, said. “And it’s similar to the last time we played. I mean, maybe a little bit less intense because I'm not playing now, but I think it's gonna be very, very similar. I really do."

Jason, who lives in Philadelphia with his wife Kylie Kelce and their children, went on to say that he “still feel[s] like I am a Philadelphia Eagle and that I'm a part of all of these people that root and cheer on our team.”

Noting that he plans to wear New Heights merchandise instead, Jason said of his wife, “I don't even think she's gonna be [wearing red] this time around," to which Travis jokingly exclaimed, "Kylie!"
