It is only natural for siblings to engage in fights while growing up, and the Kelce brothers are no exception. It was revealed that Jason once became so enraged that he resorted to physically assaulting his brother.
On Monday, the All-Pro center for the Philadelphia Eagles appeared on NBA legend ‘s The Big Podcast after Travis secured his third Super Bowl ring the day before. Jason disclosed that both he and Travis were raised in Westlake, Cleveland, a suburb in Ohio.
Being the older sibling at 36 years old, Jason was always bigger and therefore physically stronger than Travis. Consequently, Jason would dominate in sports activities and consistently defeat his younger brother. However, as they grew older, a growth spurt occurred, and Jason’s physical advantage diminished.

He revealed that Travis absorbed the punch and retaliated by forcefully colliding with him, causing the oven to fall off the rack. Upon hearing the commotion, their father, Ed Kelce, rushed into the kitchen. Ed intervened by grabbing Jason from behind in order to break up the fight.
