Jason Kelce Reveals Travis Move Out of His House Over Safety Concerns
Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce revealed the challenges his family faced due to his brother Travis Kelce's relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift, according to Page Six.
Speaking on "The Big Podcast With Shaq" on Monday, Jason disclosed that his brother had to relocate for "safety reasons" as their family became part of pop culture.
"Travis knows way more than I do; he had to completely move out of his house," he said.
Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champ, recently purchased a lavish mansion in a gated community for nearly $6 million.
This move aimed to provide more seclusion and privacy after unwarranted visitors began flocking to his previous residence, possibly hoping for a glimpse of the famous couple.
"People were just staying by his house," Jason Kelce said.
"And the first day he moved into the new house ... [in] a gated community, somebody knocks on the back window of the house," he added.
Despite being an NFL star, Jason, 36, admitted that he had underestimated the impact of fame until his brother started dating Taylor Swift last year.
The newfound pop culture fame has prompted the Kelce family to adjust to an entirely different level of public attention.
