The Kelce family were spotted leaving New Orleans on Monday following a bittersweet Super Bowl weekend, as Jason Kelce’s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, defeated his brother Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. Jason, his wife Kylie, and father Ed appeared subdued while loading luggage onto a private jet at New Orleans Lakefront Airport, hours after the Chiefs’ historic three-peat bid collapsed.

Travis, 35, struggled during the game, recording just four catches for 39 yards before exiting the field visibly emotional. His performance contrasted sharply with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who spearheaded a dominant Philadelphia win. Despite Jason’s loyalties to his brother, his 13-year Eagles career and Kylie’s Philly fandom had both hinted at cheering for the Eagles. The mixed emotions were evident as the family departed.

Travis’ Tough Night and Nicole’s Celebration
Travis’ quiet game was compounded by ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole publicly celebrating the Eagles’ win on Instagram. The pair dated for five years before splitting in 2022. Meanwhile, Travis’ current girlfriend, Taylor Swift, attended the game in a sleek white suit but left without congratulatory scenes. Speculation now swirls about Travis’ NFL future after the crushing loss.

Jason’s Emotional Tribute
While supporting Travis, Jason also worked as an ESPN analyst, where he tearfully honored New Orleans terror attack survivor Ryan Quigley during the pregame show. Quigley, a die-hard Eagles fan, survived the January 1 Bourbon Street attack that killed his friend Tiger Bech. Jason, who met Quigley during a team visit, praised his resilience: “His spirit… you wouldn’t even know something happened.”

Family Loyalties Tested
Though Jason retired in 2023, his bond with Philadelphia remains strong. Kylie, wearing Eagles gear days before the game, admitted rooting for the team became “complicated” with Travis’ involvement. The couple’s quiet departure reflected the family’s conflicted emotions.

What’s Next for the Kelces?
As Travis weighs retirement, Jason continues his media career, with his ESPN role highlighting his storytelling depth. The Kelce family’s legacy, however, remains intertwined with football—a fact cemented by Sunday’s emotional rollercoaster.

The Eagles’ victory marked their fourth Super Bowl title.

The Chiefs’ loss denied them a place in NFL history, but for Jason, the Eagles’ triumph—and his brother’s resilience—will define this chapter. As the family jet departed, one thing was clear: football’s complexities bind the Kelces, win or lose.
