BREAKING: Jason Kelce Fires Back, ‘Focus More on Your Own Wife So You Can Have One,’ After Tom Brady Criticizes Travis Kelce, Saying He’d Have Three Super Bowls If He Prioritized Football Over Taylor Swift

Jason Kelce Claps Back at Tom Brady’s Travis Critique: A Super Bowl Showdown Off the Field

February 22, 2025 – The Super Bowl may be over, but the drama is just heating up. In a war of words that’s got fans buzzing from Philly to Foxborough, Jason Kelce has unleashed a fiery defense of his brother Travis Kelce after Tom Brady took a swipe at the Chiefs tight end’s focus during the NFL season. The seven-time Super Bowl champ didn’t hold back, suggesting Travis could’ve cemented a historic three-peat if he’d prioritized pigskin over pop star Taylor Swift. Jason? He’s not having it.

The saga kicked off earlier this week when Brady, appearing on a sports podcast, analyzed the Chiefs’ latest Super Bowl run—or, in his view, their missed opportunity. “Travis Kelce could’ve owned the league with a 3-peat if Taylor Swift wasn’t in the picture,” Brady said, his tone half-analytical, half-needling. “He’d have three rings if he cared more about the game than her. Football should’ve come first, not Taylor Swift, for that third ring.” The comment raised eyebrows, not least because Brady’s own post-NFL life has been under the microscope since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.

Enter Jason Kelce, the elder statesman of the Kelce clan and a retired Eagles legend who’s never been shy about speaking his mind. During a taping of his New Heights podcast with Travis, Jason didn’t just defend his brother—he turned the tables on Brady with a personal jab that’s already gone viral. “Focus more on your own wife, Tom, and leave my brother alone,” Jason shot back, his Philly grit on full display. “You’ve got no room to talk—worry about fixing your own life, Brady, not criticizing Travis.”

The exchange has lit up social media, with fans picking sides in what’s shaping up to be a clash of titans off the gridiron. Brady’s critique wasn’t entirely out of left field—Travis Kelce’s high-profile romance with Taylor Swift has been a headline-grabbing subplot to the Chiefs’ season, from her sideline appearances to the couple’s jet-setting between games and tour dates. “A Super Bowl 3-peat was in reach, but Taylor Swift distracted him,” Brady doubled down in a follow-up comment, leaning into his argument. “He chose Taylor over a three-peat—big mistake.”

Jason, however, wasn’t about to let Brady play armchair quarterback with his brother’s life choices. “Mind your own business and focus on your wife,” he snapped, referencing Brady’s own publicized personal struggles. “Stop judging and look at your own marriage, Brady. Travis is out here living his best life—Super Bowl rings and all—and you’re over there throwing shade like you’ve got it all figured out.”

Travis himself has stayed mostly quiet, offering only a sly grin and a “Tommy Boy’s got opinions, huh?” during the podcast. But the younger Kelce’s two Super Bowl titles in three years speak for themselves, and Chiefs fans are quick to point out that his on-field performance—Swift or no Swift—remains elite. Still, Brady’s pedigree gives his words weight, and the “what if” of a three-peat has sparked endless debate among NFL pundits.

The Kelce-Brady spat is the latest chapter in a rivalry that’s simmered since their playing days, when Jason’s Eagles famously toppled Brady’s Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Now, with Jason retired and Travis chasing his own legacy, the tension has spilled into the post-game commentary sphere. “Tom’s just mad he didn’t get that eighth ring,” one X user quipped, while a Swiftie fired back, “Taylor’s worth more than any Super Bowl, and Travis knows it.”

For now, the ball’s in Brady’s court—will the GOAT respond to Jason’s salvo, or let this one slide? One thing’s clear: between the Kelce brothers and TB12, this off-field showdown is as entertaining as anything we saw on Super Bowl Sunday. Stay tuned.
