Kylie Kelce knows her husband.

So she was OK with Jason Kelce hopping out of the suite and roaring shirtless with a beer in his hand during Sunday’s divisional playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.

To an extent…

‘The first time he jumped out of the suite, I was, ‘You know what, go ahead. That’s my husband!” she said in an interview with ‘Good Morning America’ posted on Friday. ‘And then the second and third time he did it, I was like, ‘I’m gonna need you to get back in because the poor cops that are out front trying to keep the chaos at a minimum, you’re making their jobs harder.’ So at first, I was all for it. And then I had to try and reel him back in.’

Kylie and the Philadelphia Eagles center were at the game to support Jason’s brother, Chiefs tight end Travis. It was their first time in public with his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. They were able to attend the game because the Eagles were ousted from the playoffs in the wild card round.

Jason said Wednesday on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with Travis that Kylie told him to ‘be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor.’ But, after his own playoff loss, ‘this was an opportunity to, honestly, just go someplace and forget about all that. Just go have fun and root on your brother.’

Kylie said Jason wanted the full Bills Mafia experience, which contributed to his high energy during the game. Buffalo’s fans are known for their tailgating parties that include drinking from bowling balls and jumping on tables to break them. The All-Pro player was able to cross one of the two off his bucket list. But not the other one.

‘They are notorious or famous for their tailgating skills, I will say,’ she said. ‘He desperately wanted to go through a table. It was on his checklist for the day, top priority of the day: go through table. He did not get a chance to do that.

‘And so when he got into the suite, he said to me, ‘I’m gonna take my shirt off and I’m gonna jump out. And I was like, ‘I don’t think that’s the best idea.’ But I think that it was that continued energy from when he was hyping himself up to break a table.’

At least he broke the internet.
