Jason Kelce has been living his best life since he announced his retirement from the NFL, after 13 years at the Philadelphia Eagles. Yet even as he enters the world of wrestling, people can't help but connect him with his brother Travis Kelce's famous girlfriend - Taylor Swift.
The former Eagles center, 36, made a cameo during Wrestlemania XL, when two masked luchadores gatecrashed Rey Mysterio's match against his son Dominik Mysterio. Wearing Philadelphia Eagles masks, it was soon revealed that Jason and former teammate Lane Johnson were tagging in.

They added: "I'm a Steelers fan, Pat."
The announcer then started loudly singing Taylor's hit single, "22", before adding: "Is that who you are talking about? 'Cardigan?' That’s fair. [He has] the No. 1 podcast."

Jason may not be Taylor's brother-in-law yet, fans have speculated whether wedding bells might be in the singer's future as she gets closer to Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis.

"I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis told his brother on their New Heights podcast in July, following the star's performance at the Arrowhead stadium. "So I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her."

Not long after, on Pat McAfee's show, the Chiefs star said: "I told her, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.' We’ll see what happens in the near future."
Ever since, the couple have had a high profile relationship - and they've met each other's families.
Jason's wife Kylie recently revealed on TODAY that the family are over the moon for their Uncle Trav.
"Ultimately, if Trav is happy, we’re happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav. It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field. But it’s been amazing."
