Moms have a lot going on, and the last thing they should be responsible for is making sure their husband has pants on—or at least that’s the point Travis Kelce is trying to make. In a recent episode of his podcast New Heights the NFL star (and notably Taylor Swift’s boyfriend) called out his brother, Jason Kelce, for some unrealistic expectations of his wife and co-parent.
The back-and-forth began when Travis poked fun at Jason’s casual look at the premiere of his Amazon Prime documentary, Kelce. “We have a picture of you on the green carpet — not the red carpet. You’re really dressed up,” Travis said sarcastically before showing the press photos of Jason in a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops.
“I was going to wear jeans but Kylie …” Jason began. “What Kylie?” Travis interrupted. “Kylie is running late. I just came from football. Kylie will bring jeans. Kylie was late,” Jason said, probably blaming his “casual” attire on his wife.
But just as quickly as Jason starts his blame game, Travis quickly stops him in the way only a brother can, asking, “Why didn’t Jason bring the jeans for Jason?”
“Because I’m in football. And I need jeans for after football. I’m not going to wear jeans all day. That doesn’t sound fun,” Jason replied, trying to justify his actions before adding, “I’m fine I realize now, maybe I can’t blame Kylie for this. Soooo, yeah, I wore shorts and sandals.”
Travis laughingly pointed out that Kylie was probably “too busy putting jeans on three girls,” to pick up another pair for her husband. Kylie and Jason share three daughters under five, including Wyatt Elizabeth, 4, Elliotte Ray, 2, and Bennett Llewellyn, who the couple just welcomed in February 2023.
“Yeah, she’s too busy putting the whole family in the babysitter and then getting herself ready and making sure she’s with her parents,” Jason said, acknowledging the many factors he hadn’t noticed. “I can see you’re pulling away,” Travis said imitating Jason, “’You don’t have jeans? I’m going to look like a fool!’” “Gosh,” Jason said. “It’s true. It’s true.”
On Instagram, fans were quick to applaud Travis for calling out his brother. “Travis understanding and explaining mental load was my favorite part of it,” wrote one mother. “Yessss!! Travis’ callout was great, then Jason had a lightbulb moment of mental load! My guess is, Kylie can’t stand that s—t either. Love this family,” added another.
Let’s hear it for the hardworking moms who keep it all going behind the scenes and the men who refuse to let their hard work go unnoticed!
