Jason Kelce Reveals He and Travis Went Months Without Talking Before Launching ‘New Heights’ Podcast
Jason Kelce has shared an eye-opening revelation about his relationship with his brother, Travis Kelce, before they launched their hit podcast, New Heights. The NFL stars, who have built a strong media presence with their weekly show, once went for long stretches without speaking to each other.
In a recent interview, Jason, a veteran offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, opened up about the time before New Heights took off. The brothers, both deeply entrenched in their respective NFL careers, often found themselves in different parts of the country, leading to extended periods of silence between them. “There were months where we wouldn’t talk to each other,†Jason admitted. The demands of their professional lives, combined with the physical and mental toll of the NFL season, meant their relationship was often strained by distance.
However, everything changed when the brothers decided to start their podcast in 2022. The New Heights podcast quickly became a hit, offering listeners a glimpse into the dynamic between the two brothers, their careers, and their unique take on trending NFL news. Jason described the podcast as a bridge that allowed them to reconnect on a regular basis, offering a weekly opportunity to speak and share their experiences.
“Starting the podcast was an excuse to talk to my brother,†Jason said. “It was a way to reconnect, and now it’s a part of our weekly routine.†Jason also emphasized his supportive role as the older sibling, preferring to offer Travis encouragement over giving advice. “I try to give him the space to speak and voice his opinions, and I’m just there to support him.â€
While their relationship was shaped by the professional demands of their lives, the brothers have used their podcast to build a new form of closeness. Fans of the show have praised their chemistry and candidness, as they dive into everything from football analysis to personal stories.
The podcast’s success has not only brought Jason and Travis closer but has also allowed fans to see a side of them that they rarely get to witness on the field. The brothers, who are both stars in their own right, have found a new way to connect and share their bond with the world.
Through New Heights, Jason and Travis have proven that even in the world of professional sports, family can be the ultimate touchdown. What started as a way to reconnect has turned into a thriving podcast, giving both brothers a new platform to communicate, reflect, and grow together.
In the end, Jason’s reflections remind us that sometimes, even the closest of relationships need time and the right opportunity to flourish. The New Heights podcast was just the push they needed to strengthen their bond and entertain millions in the process.
