Travis Kelce Reveals His Retirement Decision Was Influenced by Relationship Pressure, Says He Felt Pulled Away From Football and Is Growing Tired of the Situation

For Kylie Kelce, the games have already begun!

The Not Gonna Lie podcaster, 33, revealed to PEOPLE exclusively why she’s not attending the 2026 Super Bowl while catching up at A Night to Shine: The Toyota Glow-Up Classic in San Francisco on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

Kelce has been no stranger to the Super Bowl scene in recent years. As the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and sister-in-law of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s been a fixture at the Big Game — but this year, her plans will look different without either of them playing.

“I can’t actually keep track,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively of the exact number of Super Bowls she’s attended. “I will say, I think that between my husband and my brother-in-law, it has been back to back to back to back to back.”

“And it is something that I feel very, very fortunate that I’ve just had the opportunity to witness,” Kylie says, adding, “But I don’t even know if I can count this year because I’m not staying for the game.”

“This might be the first Super Bowl in quite a few years that I have not partaken in,” the mom of four adds, revealing, “I’m going to be in bed because I don’t have any of my children here.”

But just because Kylie isn’t going to the Big Game itself, doesn’t mean she isn’t booked and busy.

In fact, the former athlete stepped into quite a physical role herself when she made her referee debut opposite retired football legend Eli Manning at Toyota’s star-studded glow-in-the-dark NFL flag football exhibition on Wednesday.

“I was just watching flag football for dummies on YouTube,” she tells PEOPLE of preparing for her referee gig at the game, which shines a light on female Bay Area youth flag superstars and their glowing future in the sport, alongside Team Toyota NFL ambassadors as guest coaches.

“I love any opportunity to support female sports, so it’s a no-brainer,” Kylie shares. “I’m very excited… These athletes have worked really, really hard to get an opportunity like this and they get to play on the exact same field that the Pro Bowl was just played on last night.”

Team Toyota NFL ambassadors who served as guest coaches included San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Green Bay QB Jordan Love, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton and Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman, Jr.
