NFL Stars Travis and Jason Kelce's Last Name Pronounced 'Kels', Not 'Kel-see'

Revelation comes from teammate Chris Jones, with the brothers confirming on their podcast that their father started the 'Kel-see' pronunciation out of convenience.

Kansas City Chiefs player Chris Jones recently revealed that the last name of NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce is pronounced 'Kels', not 'Kel-see' as it is commonly known.
The Kelce brothers discussed the pronunciation of their last name in a February 2023 episode of their podcast, 'New Heights', with their father, Ed Kelce, who admitted he started using the 'Kel-see' pronunciation because he got tired of correcting people.
Travis Kelce has previously stated in interviews that he goes by both pronunciations, while Jason Kelce prefers the 'Kel-see' pronunciation.
Despite the revelation, it appears that many, including their teammates and fans, have continued to use the 'Kel-see' pronunciation.
Both brothers are currently in the spotlight, with Travis Kelce addressing speculation about his retirement and Jason Kelce contemplating his future in the NFL.
