“Jason Kelce expresses that being a father is one of the greatest joys of his life. He cherishes having his family around him and makes sure to prioritize spending quality time with them.”
While admitting that some of their plans are “still up in the air,” the mom of three tells PEOPLE that she and husband Jason Kelce will be there cheering on his brother, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
While the adult members of the Kelce family will be in attendance, Jason and Kylie have decided that their three girls — Bennett, 11 months, Elliotte, 2½, and Wyatt, 4 — are better off cheering on Uncle Trav from home.
“They will be at home,” Kylie, who is teaming up with premium chocolate maker Lindt as the brand debuts its first-ever ad that will air nationally during the big game’s first quarter, reveals to PEOPLE, explaining she’d prefer to keep them home “as long as Dad’s not playing
“I think it’s a little bit controversial but even during regular season games, I don’t take the girls to every game. They’re still very young,” she reasons. “A stadium with thousands of people can be overwhelming and there’s three of them. It can get hectic, it’s just a lot.”The mom of three says that deciding whether the girls will attend a public event comes down to what’s best for them.
“I love to do things that set them up for success. The thought of traveling cross-country with them [while] Jason’s going to be super busy, and putting them in maybe a stressful environment, isn’t ideal,” she explains. “We think they’ll be much, much happier to see Uncle Trav on the TV because it’ll be easier to see him and they can cheer him on that way.”
“The goal of the day is to just cheer on the Chiefs and make sure that we cheer hard enough that Uncle Trav can feel the energy and he can put that right onto the field.”Kylie is also looking ahead to after the big game. The next few weeks will see them celebrate Bennett, Elliotte and Kylie’s birthdays as a family.
“There will always be chocolate involved,” the LINDOR superfan laughs. “We have Benny first. And we’ll probably just get her some cake that she can smash into. She hasn’t really gotten the chance to eat sweet treats yet, so it’ll be a funny moment when she finally gets some frosting.”
“Then Ellie has already been talking about what kind of cake she wants and we’re leaning towards a dinosaur cake,” she shares. “It’s not the first dinosaur cake we’ve had in the house, so I think we can do this.
