NEED TO KNOW

• Travis Kelce is always going to be there for his four nieces
• The Kansas City Chiefs tight-end told his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce that he'll always support his nieces because they need to know they have somebody to come to
• Travis is uncle to Kylie's four kids — Finnley, Bennett, Elliotte and Wyatt

Travis Kelce is always willing to bail his nieces out when they get in trouble.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight-end, 36, appeared on his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce's podcast Not Gonna Lie on Friday, Feb. 6, and was shown a clip on TikTok of a boy who rode over to his aunt's house to get her to sign a test for him after he'd received a bad grade.

"How quickly would you tell Wyatt, 'Yep,' in this situation?" Kylie asked Travis.

"Well, we know I would definitely sign it. But you guys would know I'm signing it," Travis responded.

"Really?" asked Kylie.

"Yeah, I don't think I could just be like, 'Alright.' I'm gonna let you guys know that she's failing. She's failing, and you guys need to know that," Travis said. "But you didn't hear it from me. If you heard it from me, that's shame on you."

"That's fair. Take it to the grave that you told us," Kylie said. "But you're gonna let us in that you did sign a test."

"100%," said Travis. "Because Wy's gotta know, and I immediately went to Wyatt. I don't know why. She's just the oldest. But they gotta know that they have somebody to come to. No matter what. And I'll always be there for them."

"But at the same time, it's like, because sometimes I was the knucklehead that was just not even asking my parents, just kind of signing it myself," he continued. "And that didn't end out [well]."

Kylie shares her four girls — Finnley "Finn," 10 months, Bennett, 2, Elliotte, 4, and Wyatt, 6 — with husband Jason Kelce.

Last June, Kylie spoke about her brother-in-law Travis' relationship with her four girls on another episode of her podcast, calling him "king of the funcles."

Noting that the Kansas City Chiefs star is “definitely king of the funcles,” Kylie told her podcast guest, Bindi Irwin, that she likes seeing her four daughters’ relationship with their uncle. 

“They just know that when he comes, he's gonna lock in,” Kylie told Bindi. “He's gonna give them his undivided attention. They're gonna be like, can you get on the floor? And he's gonna be, like, already down there.”

Kylie joked that Travis has “a zest” that has been “worn down” in her. 

“I get down on the floor, might fall asleep,” she quipped. She added that she takes advantage of Travis’ visits, using them to get in some basic self care. 

“It is really nice to have someone who is fresh and fun,” she said. “You got this. I'm gonna have a warm cup of coffee for five minutes and maybe have a shower because that would be nice.”
