Kylie Kelce has nothing but good things to say about brother-in-law Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift.
Kylie — who has been married to Travis' brother Jason Kelce since 2018 — sat down with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on the Monday, April 1, episode of the Today show, where she expressed her enthusiasm over Travis' happiness in his romance with Swift.
"Ultimately, if Trav's happy, we're happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav," Kylie, who shares three young daughters with Jason, told the Today cohosts. "It's such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field. It's been amazing."

All eyes have been on Travis and Swift ever since the Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on his and Jason's New Heights podcast that he attempted to give Swift his phone number after one of her Kansas City Eras Tour shows over the summer. While the initial meet-cute plan was a fail, the pair ultimately connected and debuted their relationship in September 2023 — with Swift cheering for Travis alongside his mom, Donna Kelce, as the Chiefs defeated the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
"I can tell you this: He's happier than I've seen him in a long time," Donna told WSJ. Magazine about Travis and Swift's relationship in November 2023. "God bless him. He shot for the stars!"
While Travis and Jason were at ease with their mom meeting the pop star, they joked that they were nervous once they spotted Swift speaking with their dad, Ed Kelce, at a game one month prior.
"Yeah, Taylor talking to Dad," Travis told his brother on an October 2023 episode of New Heights. "You know Dad, like I know Dad —"
"He shouldn't be talking to Taylor Swift," Jason quipped, as Jason joked, "This is a terrifying conversation, I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this."

The brothers noted they were just giving their dad a hard time, with Jason quipping that their father said to Swift: "Bless his heart. He said, 'Now I've taken all of your CDs out at the local library, and I've burned them onto my computer.'"
As for how Jason and Kylie met, the pair initially matched on Tinder before making plans to meet up at a bar.
Jason, who retired from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, paid tribute to his wife in his emotional speech that recalled the night they met.
"I won't forget the Eagles' Christmas party in 2014 and heading out afterwards with a bunch of my teammates to Buffalo Billiards where my life would change forever. That night, I'd meet my future wife. I still remember the moment she walked through the door," he remembered, tearing up. "It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. Then she started talking and I thought, 'Man, is this what love feels like?' She was beautiful and smart, serious yet playful. I knew it right away."
Kylie, for her part, recalled that night in not such as glowing terms while on Today on Monday, confirming that Jason actually fell asleep at the bar that night.
Fortunately, she decided to give her now-husband a second chance. Noting that they had great "banter" leading up to their first date, Kylie said Jason "launched a full apology" the next day, asking her to "try that again."
"'OK, one more chance,'" she remembered saying. The couple are now the proud parents of daughters Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett, all of whom call Travis "Uncle Trav."
