If there is one thing to say about Jason and Kylie Kelce’s marriage, it’s that the two know how to have fun together — even when that fun is (hilariously) at Jason’s expense.

On the most recent episode of Jason and brother Travis Kelce‘s New Heights podcast, one of the topics they discussed was the notion of NFL players’ butts playing “a major role” in the success of the athlete. After exploring several reasons behind this idea — including the philosophy of the defensive line having a “big a** that just helps you anchor” — the retired Philadelphia Eagles center asked Travis: “What a** do you think of when you think of an NFL player?”

“Jason Kelce,” Travis replied immediately — which Jason quickly countered.

“I don’t have an a**, Travis, you know that,” he responded, while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end encouraged him to “ask Kylie,” saying “she knows” the answer.

Jason not only disagreed — “Kylie says I’ve got a chicken ass; that’s exactly what she says,” he told his brother — he offered to call his wife unprompted. “I swear to God [that’s what Kylie says],” Jason insisted as Travis threw his head back, laughing.

Getting Kylie on the phone, Jason indeed asked her the question.

“Ky! What do you say my a** resembles?” he questioned. Without hesitation, Kylie answered: “A chicken a**.”

“What is that?” Travis laughed. “Do chickens have glutes?”

“I think that’s the point: She’s saying basically that there’s nothing back there. It’s flat,” Jason explained.

Travis, however, was adamant that his brother was packing in the back.

“She’s not looking at the same a** [as I am],” Travis insisted.

While Kylie is not in the spotlight as much as her husband, both have praised the other publicly. When Jason emotionally announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this year, he thanked his wife — with whom he has three young daughters — in his candid remarks.

“I think it’s no coincidence I have enjoyed [the] best years of my career with Kylie by my side,” Jason shared. “Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life. She has brought the best out of me with love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and, of course, a swift kick in the a** from time to time.”

The couple are also extremely close with Travis, whom they refer to as “Uncle Trav” because of their daughters.

In April, Kylie made a rare comment about Travis’ high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.

“Ultimately, if Trav’s happy, we’re happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav,” Kylie said on the Today show. “It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field. It’s been amazing.”
