Travis Kelceis adulting, according to his brotherJason Kelce.

On the most recent episode of theFitz & Whitpodcast, the Eagles alum got candid about his younger brother’s growth over the past three years.

“It’s been staggering, honestly,” Jason, 37, told the podcast’s co-hostsRyan Fitzpatrick, a former NFL quarterback, and Andrew Whitworth, a former Rams offensive lineman, on the Feb. 18 episode, of how his brother has gone from having a basketball hoop in his living room to a full, adult life.

“One of the things I love so much about Travis is that he never grew up,” Jason told the hosts. “He was like Peter Pan, the lost boys.”

Jason explained that his brother is “changing” in part because of the people he surrounds himself with.

“I think that sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you,” he said on the podcast. “That’s a good thing.”

The conversation took place less than two weeks after the Kansas City Chiefslost the Super Bowlto the Philadelphia Eagles, raising speculation thatTravis may retireand putting more focus on his relationship withTaylor Swift.

As much as the three-time Super Bowl champion has grown, his older brother says he hasn’t lost his playful personality.

“Trav, he is growing up. He’s still got that youthful enthusiasm,” Jason said onFitz & Whit.“I think he’ll kind of always have that. It’s just part of his personality.”
