Kelce brothers reveal the correct pronunciation of their last name

Travis and Jason Kelce's last name is pronounced "Kels," not "Kel-see."

In a recent clip from the TV show 'Inside the NFL,' Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones corrected his teammates' pronunciation of the last name of Travis and Jason Kelce. According to Jones, it's not pronounced 'Kel-see,' as many people believe, but rather 'Kels.' This revelation may not come as a surprise to fans who follow the Kelce brothers' podcast, 'New Heights.'

During an episode of the podcast, Travis and Jason had a conversation with their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, where they discussed the topic. Jason questioned why their last name was changed, to which their father responded that he got tired of correcting people. It turns out that even their mother had been pronouncing it as 'Kel-see' as well. This led to a humorous exchange where the brothers questioned their father's decision to change the pronunciation of the family name.
