Kylie Kelce is sharing who she'll be pulling for in Super Bowl LIX.

On Thursday's episode of "Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce", the host and wife of former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce discussed the upcoming Super Bowl and how her family is handling their ties to two competing teams, the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kylie Kelce expressed pride in her brother-in-law, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, and his successes so far this season.

"I am so happy and proud of Travis and the Chief's accomplishments," she said. "I think that the opportunity to play for such a historic milestone is incredible to be able to potentially witness."

The Chiefs are looking to win their third straight Super Bowl on Feb. 9, their fourth in six years.

"He has worked so hard and put in so much time that I am truly, as always, cheering Travis on," she continued. "I love him, he's my family, so we'll always cheer on Travis' accomplishments and hopefully successes."

Pennsylvania-born Kylie Kelce also spoke about her ties to the Eagles, saying she was "raised to bleed green" and sharing that she has close relationships with many people still associated with the team.

"I get to live in the Philadelphia community, so I will also be cheering for the success of those people," she said.

She added that her three daughters, whom she shares with Jason Kelce, will plan to wear "Go Uncle Trav" shirts, because "they love their uncle, and of course they love cheering him on." She noted that her children enjoy cheering on the Eagles too, but "he is our family, and I want to make sure that the girls feel included.”

Kylie Kelce made similar comments on "Good Morning America" Thursday morning when asked who she was supporting in the big game. She said she would always cheer on Travis Kelce's success, but added, "Go Birds."

Kylie Kelce's comments follow similar sentiments from her husband earlier this week.

On Wednesday, Jason Kelce opened up about who he'll be rooting for in Super Bowl LIX.

"Obviously you're my brother, I'll always root for my brother," Jason Kelce said, speaking to Travis Kelce in an episode of their "New Heights" podcast.

"But, there's a lot of people in the Philadelphia organization, whether its players, coaches, people in the building, that feel like extended family to me, especially my former linemen," he continued.

"I'm rooting for those guys too. I'm rooting for Philadelphia and I'm rooting for Travis Kelce," he added, noting that at the end of the night, he'll be happy for one side and sad for the other, regardless of who wins.

The "Monday Night Countdown" analyst said that he still feels like an Eagle, "and that I'm a part of all these people that root and cheer on our team," adding, "I would be lying if I said I don't want the Eagles to win. I want them to, but I also want Travis Kelce to win."

Although he said that he simply wants to see a good football game on Feb. 9, Jason Kelce noted that he draws the line at apparel.

"I can't wear red," he said. "I can't bring myself to it."

He also discussed splitting time between the Eagles and Chiefs during their respective AFC and NFC Championship games this past Sunday.

"I wasn't able to watch the [Eagles] game, cause I was going to yours," he told his brother. "That was the biggest thing I was struggling with all week. 'Do I go to Travis' game? Do I stay in Philly?'"

Jason Kelce said he wanted to be able to celebrate with fans in Philadelphia, "But, ultimately I wanted to be out there for you," he told Travis Kelce.

Jason Kelce said he was at least able to watch the Eagles players take the field before heading to Kansas City for the Chiefs game.

"You officially pulled off the Donna Kelce!" Travis Kelce responded, referencing their mother, who made it to "two games" in "one day" back in 2022, according to the NFL.

Kansas City will take on Philadelphia at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for their Feb. 9 Super Bowl matchup, with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes looking to capture the Chiefs' third straight Super Bowl victory, their fourth in six years.
