Well, he may be totally alone, but the man still has a song in his heart!
As he said on his New Heights podcast this week, Travis Kelce did indeed spend Thanksgiving all alone. He had apparently planned to spend it with girlfriend Taylor Swift, but her concert delays — and a terrible “traumatic” event, of course — forced her hand. She spent the holiday in Brazil.
Trav’s big bro Jason Kelce tried to encourage him to come to Philadelphia for the day, as their parents were coming to spend the holiday with him and his wife and daughters. But Trav bemusedly lamented he would “be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here.” And true to his word, he stayed in Kansas City, all alone.
In a video obtained by TMZ on Thursday, the KC Chiefs tight end was spotted on his lonesome in Missouri. Apparently someone noticed his black Rolls Royce and took a video of him driving alone near his new mansion. But he doesn’t look lonely in the video — in fact, he’s apparently singing along with the music in his car! Watch!
What do you think he was listening to? Something upbeat to get his mind of his gal being thousands of miles away? Maybe Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off? Oh, wait…
We gotta say it. A man who can spend time comfortably alone, without being weird or sad? That’s a green flag in our book. After all, he may be alone this day, but he has a lot of things — and people — in his life to be thankful for! And he seems to know it.
As the mother of two Super Bowl champions, Donna Kelce has a lot to be proud of. The 71-year-old is now in the spotlight for something other than the epic rivalry between her boys at the NFL’s biggest match: Her son Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift. Wondering about Donna Kelce’s net worth? Keep reading to find out.
Mama Kelce hails from Cleveland, and before being a dedicated NFL mom, she held high-level positions in finance (which we’ll get to below). Donna revealed on her sons’ joint podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce that she met her now ex-husband, and their father Ed, while on her way to another date. Before going to a play, she stopped at a bar where Ed was enjoying an after-work drink. “I was supposed to go out with a guy that night. We were supposed to go to a play, and I never made it. Your dad and I talked forever,” Donna told her sons. “It was a good play, too! I really wanted to see it.”
Donna and Ed got married in the late ’70s. They welcomed their older son Jason in Nov. 1987 and Travis shortly after in Oct. 1989. They raised their family in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and their sons both went to the University of Cincinnati to play college football. After Jason and Travis graduated from college, the couple decided to separate after roughly 25 years of marriage. Donna said that she holds no ill will toward their father.
“I don’t hate him. We’re friends to this day. We get along great,” Donna explained on the podcast. “We were like a tag team with you two. We got to do all sorts of fun things. When one of you had to go out of town, the other person would help with the other child. It was perfect.”
Both Donna and Ed have supported their sons’ football careers by cheering them on the sidelines. In January 2023, Donna went viral after traveling over 1,200 miles to see her sons’ Wild Card playoff matches in person on the same day. She was in the spotlight again in September 2023 after she was photographed in a suite alongside Travis’ rumored girlfriend and popstar billionaire, Taylor Swift.
Two months later, multiple news outlets are reporting that Donna and Ed are allegedly planning to meet Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, when the Eagles play the Chiefs on Monday, November 20 at 8 p.m. It will also mark the first time the teams will face off since the Super Bowl LVII in February, so there’s a lot at stake.
Donna Kelce Net Worth
What is Donna Kelce’s net worth? Donna Kelce’s net worth is estimated to be at $1.55 million, according to Popular Net Worth. It’s currently unknown if she makes any money from her sons’ successful careers.
Kelce is retired after spending 30 years working in banking, where she specialized in commercial real estate finances. She previously held vice president and senior VP positions at various banking institutions, including Truist, KeyBank and Bank One, per her LinkedIn page. She earned a Bachelor of Communications degree from Ohio University and graduated with her MBA in Business Administration from Baldwin Wallace University in 1983. She officially retired in 2021.
As for her children, Donna’s sons are among the highest-paid NFL players in the league. Travis Kelce’s net worth is reportedly around $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Kansas City Chief tight end allegedly renewed his contract with the team in 2022 worth $57.25 million, securing him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. The football star also has brand deals with Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile and Dick’s Sporting Goods, McDonalds and Papa Johns.
In a January 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Travis joked about how he isn’t paid enough. “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” he said. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?”
Meanwhile, Travis’ brother Jason Kelce‘s net worth is estimated to be slightly higher at $40 million. The Philadelphia Eagles player is considered to be the current top-earning center in the NFL. Jason’s contract was renewed for one year in 2023 at a value of $14.25 million (which includes a base salary of $1,165,000 and a $10,335,000 signing bonus).
The athlete’s fortune is also comprised of lucrative endorsement deals and real estate investments, including an eight-acre farm in Pennsylvania and a property in his hometown of Cleveland.
Ahead of Monday night’s Philadelphia Eagles game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia radio station Q102 won’t play Taylor Swift’s music because of her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“Q102 is punting Taylor Swift from the radio station for the entire weekend because while Q102 loves Taylor Swift, we can’t get enough of her, this weekend it’s really important we show our support for the Birds,” Q102 radio host Nugget told CBS News.
By the time the game is over on Tuesday, the station will play Swift’s music again, according to CBS News.
It’s a big game on Monday because it’s the first time the Chiefs and Eagles will play each other since February’s Super Bowl, when the Chiefs won 38 to 35. Kelce will also play his brother, Jason Kelce, who plays center for the Eagles.
Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, previously praised Swift for not being a “diva.”
“I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her,” Ed Kelce told People. “We’re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around. Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can.”
As one of the most respected and accomplished centers in the NFL, it’s no surprise that football fans want to know what Jason Kelce’s net worth looks like today. Below, we’re diving into everything we know about the NFL star’s net worth and contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, on November 5, 1987, Jason Kelce has always had football running in his veins. He comes from a family with a strong sports background: his younger brother, Travis Kelce, is a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his father, Ed Kelce, grew up playing football at Cleveland State University. The Kelce brothers were both involved in several sports growing up, from football and basketball to hockey and lacrosse. As a teenager, Jason even extended his interested to music, playing baritone saxophone in his high school jazz band.
After a successful high school football career, where he played both running back and linebacker, Jason Kelce took his talents to Cincinnati. The athlete played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats, starting as a walk-on running back, before switching to fullback and then finally the offensive line, moving to center during his senior season. Kelce’s exceptional performance on the field drew the attention of NFL scouts and he was originally projected as a fourth round pick in the NFL Draft.
In 2011, Kelce was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, marking the beginning of his professional career. Howie Roseman, executive vice president and general manager of the Eagles, explained why he was drafted during an episode of Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights,” which he hosts with his younger brother Travis. Despite lacking the typical size of an offensive lineman, Roseman says former coach Howard Mudd wanted to take a chance on Kelce for his athleticism.
“We were looking for size and length and power, and Howard came in and he said, ‘I don’t want any of that,’” Roseman shared. “And so what we really had to do was we had to watch guys together and for us it changed from that to explosiveness, athleticism, instincts, vision on the field. You have elite vision. I had never thought of offensive linemen like that.”
After being drafted, Kelce quickly established himself as one of the league’s top centers and became a linchpin of the Eagles’ offensive line. Over the years, his skills and dedication to the game have earned him multiple Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro honors. In 2018, he added Super Bowl champion to his list of accomplishments, defeating the New England Patriots 41–33 with the Eagles. Five years later, Kelce found himself up for a Super Bowl championship again—only this time, he was facing his own brother, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Ultimately, the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII, beating the Eagles 38-35.
This didn’t stop Kelce from making a comeback. His athleticism and versatility on the field continues to set him apart, making him a fan favorite in Philadelphia. And now, fans continue to be curious about Jason Kelce’s net worth. For everything we know about Jason Kelce’s net worth—including how much he makes from his Philadelphia Eagles contract—keep on reading below.
What is Jason Kelce’s salary with the Philadelphia Eagles?

What is Jason Kelce’s salary? As of 2023, Jason Kelce is under contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. His current contract is worth $14.5 million per year, making him the highest-paid center in the NFL. It includes a base salary of $1,165,000, a $10,335,000 signing bonus, and $14,250,000 guaranteed overall.
Kelce has consistently been one of the highest-paid centers in the NFL, thanks to his exceptional performance and leadership on the field. When he was originally drafted by the Eagles in 2011, he signed a four-year $2,137,432 contract, which included a $97,432 signing bonus, $97,432 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $534,358, per Spotrac.
He went on to sign a six-year extension worth $37.5 million in 2014. Since 2021, the offensive lineman has signed one-year contract renewals with the Eagles, giving him the flexibility to retire when he feels like the time is right. As one of the NFL’s oldest players, Kelce has toyed with the idea of retirement over the years, but hasn’t been able to throw in the towel yet.
“You think about it and the moment the season is over, you try to decompress a little bit and because we played in the Super Bowl there was a little less time because you want to make a decision before free agency starts to let the team know what’s happening,” Kelce told reporters after signing his 2023 contract, at the age of 35.
He continued, “Howie (Roseman) was very kind to me in making it open-ended with no pressure but I understand the circumstances. Ultimately, just trying to weigh the pros and cons, right? This is a wonderful business and I love playing football, but there are drawbacks. You sit there and you think of all of those things, talk to the right people, and eventually, it became clear that I’m not quite ready to call it quits yet.”
Kelce’s wife, Kylie, inspired him to keep going. She told him, “if you’re still debating it at this point, I don’t think you’re ready to stop and you obviously still love it and if you quit now, you’ll regret it,” he said. “Philadelphia has been a blessing for me to come here. I think I fit in really well, not just with the organization and the team, but also with the fan base. I’m very grateful to have been able to play here and insert myself and my family into Philadelphia and fully call myself a Philadelphian here. It’s an honor.”
What is Jason Kelce’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jason Kelce’s net worth is about $30 million as of 2023. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce’s net worth also sits around $30 million.
Jason Kelce’s net worth includes not only his NFL contracts but also earnings from lucrative endorsement deals that have come his way. Kelce’s appeal and reputation as one of the NFL’s best centers have made him a sought-after figure in the world of endorsements, so it makes sense that he’s able to rake in millions from brand deals alone.
In addition to his work on and off the field, Kelce’s real estate investments have played a pivotal role in growing his wealth. His real estate portfolio includes an expansive eight-acre farm in Pennsylvania and a property in his hometown of Cleveland, adding to his overall net worth.
Who makes more, Travis or Jason Kelce?

While Travis Kelce may be the more famous brother thanks to his position as a star tight end and his relationship with Taylor Swift, it’s worth noting his older sibling, Jason Kelce, has made more money so far during their respective NFL careers.
Jason Kelce’s advantage over his brother is partly due to the fact that he has enjoyed two additional seasons in the league. Over his impressive 13-year NFL journey, Jason has accrued a total earnings of $81,708,745, per Spotrac. The lion’s share of his income stems from his second contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, a lucrative deal that paid him $37.5 million from 2014 to 2020.
In contrast, Travis Kelce has earned $77,032,220 over his 11 seasons in the NFL. Unsurprisingly, his most financially rewarding contract is his current one, which will see him receive $57.2 million over a four-year period, extending until 2026.
While Jason has garnered more money throughout his NFL career up to this point, Travis is steadily closing the gap. With his continued performance and the longer duration of his current contract, it’s highly likely that Travis will ultimately surpass his older brother in total career earnings. It all goes to show just how far the Kelce family can go in the world of professional football.

Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Taylor Swift, after almost a decade, is dating someone born in the United States of America. And it’s none other than star Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce.
Rumors about the pairing been circulating for a few weeks. They started when Travis Kelce went on his podcast — New Heights, with his brother Jason of the Philadelphia Eagles — and said he made Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her concert, but could never get it to her.
Normally, you’d think the story ends there. Tough luck for Travis, but no. Then, Jason Kelce went on Philadelphia sports radio WIP and confirmed the two were definitely an item. And finally, Taylor Swift broke the internet when she was spotted at the Chiefs-Chicago Bears game in Kansas City this weekend, next to Travis’s mother, Donna Kelce.
I’ve been wondering for years how to get women into football…it turns out all you need to do is get Taylor Swift to date one of the players. Easy enough, now Swifties all over my socials are musing what a “tight end” is (he is supposed to both block and score points) and why scoring looks so easy (it isn’t, he’s just that good).
Who is Travis Kelce?
Born in 1989 (I’m sure Taylor is aware of the number), Kelce is widely acknowledged as one of the best tight ends of all time — even surpassing former New England Patriot, and Tom Brady’s right-hand-man, Rob Gronkowski.
Drafted into the NFL in 2013, Travis credits his brother Jason for saving his football career. Travis, on scholarship at the University of Cincinnati, tested positive for marijuana and was kicked off the team before Jason got him back on track and playing football after a one-year suspension.
Now, Travis plays alongside arguably the new GOAT quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, in Kansas City. The duo have won two Super Bowls together, most recently in 2023 against Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles…the only brother duo to ever play in the Super Bowl.
He confirmed that he asked Taylor to come see him by saying he saw how she rocked Arrowhead, and wanted to know if she wanted to come see how he rocks it. Travis scored a touchdown in her honor.
Travis is known for his style, always pulling up in a lavish gameday fit. Yesterday was a blue and white jacket set that fits Taylor’s upcoming 1989 (Taylor’s Version) theme…so much so that the Kid Super renamed the set to “1989 Bedroom Painting Set” after spotting Travis wearing it.
Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Actually Dating?
All signs are pointing to yes as Taylor and Travis were seen leaving Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023 (12 years on the day that Taylor performed there for Speak Now) in Kelce’s convertible last night. It’s one of Taylor’s more public dates in the past, but we are here for America’s princess dating football royalty.
Apparently, Travis even rented out the restaurant for the Chiefs afterparty and their date! While we wait for more, shop styles similar to the New Era jacket T-Swift was wearing here.
Since September, every Sunday has been reserved for football. It’s the only subject anyone can talk about: the all-consuming, seemingly endless football season that has America in a chokehold…and I’m no exception.
While the games themselves are worth the watch, one of the most highly anticipated events this season is the reveal Gameday Fit. It comes before the game when the players arrive at the facility in their literal Sunday Best….and the players are coming to serve.
The Tunnel is the new Runway. Some of the best players in the NFL sport bold colors, fun prints, standout shoes, vests, and ski masks. Others choose leathers, oversized sweaters, and iced-out chains. Regardless, the men of the National Football League are showing they have talent and style.
We’re in a new era of men’s fashion where we’ve begun holding men to higher standards. Instead of just the trusty sweatpants and t-shirt combo we’d have normally expected, we’ve come to expect an ostentatious Gameday Fit. It’s each player’s chance to let their personality shine through before they shove into their pads for 3 and a half hours.
NFL stars like the Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, are known for donning insane fits that rival fashion week. And we’re not the only ones paying attention, GQ now has readers voting for the NFL’s Most Stylish Player 2023 – much like they did for the NBA and winner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
GQ
Amongst a star-studded bracket with names like Travis Kelce, Ceedee Lamb, and Saquon Barkley, the resounding winner was the Philadelphia Eagles’ wide receiver Devonta Smith. Smith defeated Stefon Diggs in the final round of voting. While Smith looks forward to the Super Bowl this upcoming Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, I’m sure this award is equally important to him.
If you want to find a menswear outfit that could give Joe Burrow’s Cartier glasses a run for their money…here are our fave gameday-inspired fits.
Dress Like Joe Burrow
Cartier glasses, fur jackets, floral suits, and turtlenecks with an icy chain a la The Rock…he has the nickname “Joe Shiesty” for a reason. One of his most iconic looks, when asked if his diamonds were real he responded “I make too much money for them to be fake.”
An easy way to elevate your look is with a statement jacket and sunglasses. While your diamonds may not be real, you can still achieve the Joey B look with ease. All you need is a chain, this oversized fur bomber, a black turtleneck, and rectangle-frame glasses for the Joey B look.
Dress Like Devonta Smith
Devonta Smith has a Heisman Trophy, an NCAA Championship, and some of the finest fashion taste under his belt. King of the wide brim hat and fitted suit, he is always looking polished…down to his tie complementing his bag.
If you want the “Skinny Batman” look, Smith is a fan of matching his colorway from head-to-toe. If you’re wearing pink, include subtle accents throughout your entire outfit…not just the suit. These Ralph Lauren Shorts and Blazer pair perfectly with Nike Air Force 1’s to complete a Devonta-esque outfit.
Dress Like Stefon Diggs
Credited as the king of NFL fashion to many, Stefon Diggs never misses. A fan of the bomber jacket, layering and experimenting with oversized pieces, and an advocate for crossbody bags…but he never regrets a fit. He told GQ,
“Hell, no. If I put it on, then it was the right shit. [laughs] I don’t regret any fit. I look at all my fits like, “That was the time in my life when I felt like that was okay.”
Dress like SD with a pair of oversized jeans, a bomber jacket, and t-shirt for a relaxed, comfortable fit that still serves.
Dress Like Jason Kelce
It wouldn’t be an NFL fashion article with Philadelphia’s Jason Kelce, who will meet his brother Travis in the Super Bowl next week. The Kelce Bowl is all the rage right now, but may I introduce you to one of the best dressed players in the league?
Kelce is known for saying things like “I’m not here to play dress up” when wearing flip flops on gameday. He’s famously dressed as Doug Whitmore from 50 First Dates or in an Ocean Drive shirt (a Sea Isle City, NJ bar where Kelce holds fundraisers). If you want to dress like the older Kelce, buy a pair of Rainbows and cut your jeans to short length…it’s about fun and comfort.
Dress Like Travis Kelce
Jason’s younger brother, Kansas City tight end, Travis Kelce, has his own clothing line “Tru Kolors,” selling 90’s-inspired athleisure. He wears different styles of peacoats, experiments with different prints, and is not afraid of accessorizing. Travis has always been interested in fashion outside of football.
A Travis Kelce look is not complete without a statement peacoat like this one. From there, don’t be afraid to accessorize with chains, watches, sunglasses, and hats. It’s an easy way to spice up any old “basic” outfit.
