the parents of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce remain neutral ahead of the brothers’ historic matchup in Super Bowl LVII, regardless of how much the Kelce brothers search for an answer.
Donna Kelce told the brothers on this week’s episode of the «New Heights» podcast that she will support the offense on both sides and that she expects «pure joy» from this Super Bowl with Travis and Jason already claiming the iconic Lombardi Trophy once before.

Ed Kelce also appeared and stated that regardless of the outcome, he «already won», giving a nod to the success of his sons’ podcast.
«I’ve already won, dude. I’m on the most popular podcast in sports with my kids. I’ve already won. All the rest of this is just window dressing. You’ll never get the answer you want if we’re going to talk about winning or losing the Super Bowl.»
