Jason Kelce’s shirtless shenanigans during his brother Travis’s game on Sunday almost included a broken table, according to his wife, Kylie Kelce.
Kylie, 31, appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday and revealed that 36-year-old Jason’s “top priority of the day” went unfulfilled during the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. Although her husband’s shirtless antics at Highmark Stadium included ripping his shirt off and jumping into the crowd of Bills fans, Kylie said Jason “wanted to get the full Bills experience” while tailgating before kickoff on Sunday, calling football fans in Buffalo “famous for their tailgating skills.”
“He desperately wanted to go through a table,” Kylie shared on GMA. “It was on his checklist for the day. Top priority of the day: go through table. He did not get a chance to do that.” That’s when Jason “came into the suite” and told his wife, “I’m gonna take my shirt off, and I’m gonna jump out.” Kylie told GMA that she told the Eagles star, “I don’t think that’s the best idea,” before the viral moment.
“But I think it was that continued energy from when he was hyping himself up to break a table,” Kylie explained. “So, the first time he jumped out of the suite, I was, you know what? Go ahead. That’s my husband.” Once was enough for Kylie, however. “Then the second and third time he did it, I was like, ‘I’m gonna need you to get back in.
Because the poor cops out front trying to keep the chaos at a minimum, you’re making their jobs harder.’ So at first, I was all for it, and then I had to try and reel him back in,” Kylie shared. Jason and Kylie will cheer on Travis, 34, again on Sunday when they visit the Baltimore Ravens in Maryland for the AFC Championship game, GMA confirmed. If they win, they’ll compete in the 2024 Super Bowl on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. Earlier this week, Kylie revealed that she had asked Jason to be on his “best behavior” because they were meeting Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift for the first time.
On Wednesday’s episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the brothers talked about the big game and Jason’s shirtless moment. “I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans,” Jason said. “I don’t know if I’m wrong in my head, but I feel like taking your shirt off is a Buffalo Bills thing, right?” Jason continued, “I’m not going to lie, I gave Kylie a heads-up. The moment we get into the suite I said, ‘I’m taking my shirt off and jumping out of that suite.’ And she said, ‘Jason don’t you dare,’ ” the Philadelphia Eagles center recalled, adding that he was “not asking for permission.”
“Once a Kelce man’s determined, there’s no f—ing stopping him,” Travis agreed. Travis said it was “a moment that I’ll never forget” — even though he was only made aware of it after the game ended. “Dude, that picture is… I mean everybody’s saying put that thing in the Louvre. Honestly, I might get somebody to f—ing make that portrait,” he joked, referring to the viral content that the shirtless moment inspired — and the calls from fans who jokingly said the photo should be hanging in the famous art museum in Paris. “That is epic.”
