She snapped her three girls, Wyatt, five, Elliotte, three, and 20-month-old Bennett, wearing matching pink sweaters embroidered with "big sister" on them.

While Wyatt had her hands over her ears in the photo and Bennett was in tears, Elliotte shared a big grin with the camera. 

"I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister," Kylie captioned the post.

The account for the podcast that Jason shares with Travis, New Heights, commented, "Congratulations to the whole fam," while Jason's former NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles, wrote, "Congratulations".

One of Taylor's closest friends, Brittany Mahomes, whose husband Patrick is Travis' teammate in the Kansas City Chiefs, gushed, "Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!!" while the Kelce brothers' mom, Donna, commented a slew of fire emojis followed by "Love it!!!"

Since NFL star Travis began dating the pop legend in August 2023, fans have been waiting with bated breath to hear news of their relationship and whether they will get engaged soon.

Jason is their number one fan and often gushes about how happy he is for the loved-up couple. The 37-year-old revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 21 his Christmas present plans for the billionaire, joking that he could hand-make her something special.

"It's tough to shop for people that can have anything that they want," he said. "You gotta go to handmade gifts, something sentimental that is near and dear to them."

"I've got something up my sleeve this year," he joked. "I think a macaroni necklace. It works on me with my kids very well."

"It would be funny if you make Taylor a macaroni necklace," Jimmy added, "and then all of a sudden, millions of girls are wearing macaroni necklaces."

"Friendship macaroni necklaces, we just started a trend," Jason laughed.
