Kylie Kelce’s time on the sidelines as an NFL wife is through, but she’s still showing support to her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce
Kylie tells PEOPLE why she and Jason Kelce’s four daughters have yet to see their uncle play live

Kylie Kelce is hopeful that her girls may get to root for their uncle, Travis Kelce, in person this year.
The mom of four tells PEOPLE that daughters Finnley, 4 months, Bennett, 2½, Elliotte, 4½, and Wyatt, 5½, have never gotten to see their uncle play football in person. While they aren’t strangers to trips to Kansas City, their sleep schedule has priority over the NFL’s.
“The girls have not yet been to an Uncle Trav game just because a lot of opportunities that we’ve had to go and support Trav have been, even just last year, a lot of Monday nights,” she explains.
“I think two different Monday Night Football opportunities. But as anyone knows, an 8:00 p.m. start is not conducive to a 5, 4, and 2-year-old. We’re not tagging in on that, so maybe we’ll get out there for a nice 1:00 p.m. Sunday with the girls.”

She adds, “In the position that he’s in, it’s a little more fluid, it’s a little more exciting. It’s not necessarily the trenches, which I would watch so closely when Jason was playing, so it adds a level of excitement. We are, as always, cheering on Uncle Trav through and through all season.”
Kylie says the whole family is “so excited to cheer him on,” as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gears up for his 13th season.
“We are just so excited to get to cheer him on. We know how hard he’s working and it’s exciting to still have someone in the league close to the family to cheer on. Obviously, we have friends who are like family that are still in the league, but it’s so much fun to cheer on Trav.”

Kylie Kelce for Dove
Raising daughters in a world where sports talk is about both male and female athletes is an exciting prospect for Kylie, who is supporting Dove’s mission to help young girls in sports build body confidence.
“It’s so cool. I’m so excited for what’s on the horizon for them. I’m so excited for them to be within this generation of girls who are given the opportunity to be coached by people who are putting the body confidence sport program in place,” she shares.
Kylie will introduce a short film, “Fans of Confidence,” at the Saturday, Aug. 9 Gotham FC game. The film shows the pros of Gotham FC show up to cheer on girls in their youth programs — making them feel seen, celebrated and encouraged to stay in the game.
“It is so important to not only have your peers be lifting you up, but then to have coaches who are setting you up for success and making sure that they’re supporting you in a way that helps you be confident, helps you stay in sport.”
