When star tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and younger brother Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles square off on February 12, Super Bowl LVII will showcase the first sibling matchup between athletes in league history.
However, a different Kelce family member can unintentionally show up.
This week, Jason Kelce made known on the “New Heights” podcast that his wife Kylie is expecting their third child. Due to the proximity of her due date to kickoff, her OB-GYN will go to Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium.
On January 21, 2023, in Philadelphia, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles signs a doll for a fan following an NFL divisional round playoff game versus the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field.

Kylie is bringing her doctor because she will be 38 weeks pregnant when the game starts, according to Jason Kelce.
FIRST COMMENTS FROM TRAVIS AND JASON KELCE ON PLAYING EACH OTHER IN THE SUPER BOWL
“Possibly a great Kelce bowl there. It’s a set piece if she gives birth in the stadium.”
During an appearance on “Angelo Cataldi & The Morning Team,” Kelce also discussed his wife’s pregnancy and revealed that she began asking her doctor whether he could travel if the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl at the beginning of the playoffs.

“To ensure that they will be available to help my wife in any way if anything does go wrong, [the doctor] and another employee of the clinic kindly decided to accompany her to the Super Bowl. They are currently unable to practice medicine in Arizona. As a result, we have personnel in Arizona in case the infant chooses to relocate there.”
The Kelce brothers are the first brother-sister team to compete in the Super Bowl, but they have defied expectations.

Jason Kelce remarked on the show on Wednesday, “I’m already over it after two days. “We should not be naming it the Kelce Bowl, in my opinion. Thank you for your support, however there are a lot of guys working on this. There are significant organizations participating. I’m already tired of this question, which will be brought up incessantly from this point until the finish of the game.”
That opinion was mirrored by Travis Kelce.
Travis remarked, “I appreciate you calling it the Kelce Bowl, but let’s concentrate on the Chiefs-Eagles, man.”
