Jason Kelce has nothing but love and respect for Taylor Swift.
The former NFL player, 38, praised Swift, 36, for being a great “aunt” to his four children as he opened up about his close relationship with the singer in a new interview with WSJ Magazine published on Monday, Dec. 22.
When asked if he also asks Swift for advice when taking on new business ventures, Jason replied, “We’ve tried to keep a lot of that out of the relationship. I just enjoy her being my brother [Travis Kelce’s] soon-to-be wife, and aunt to my kids,” he said referring to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and 9-month-old Finnley.
“We try to leave that relationship where it should be, there,” the former Eagles star added.

Despite this, Jason shared how he’s been inspired by Swift’s business acumen while developing his own commercial venture with the New Jersey-based hot sauce company, Hank Sauce.
“Watching her operate, watching her savviness in getting her entire music catalogue back, watching how she has toured the globe while also writing an entire new album — the level at which she takes control over a lot of different aspects, but also allowing people to be experts in their own right, I think that a lot of that stuff is fun to watch,” he told WSJ Magazine.

Away from business, Jason also discussed what type of wedding guest he’s going to be when his brother Travis, 36, ties the knot with Swift.
“I’ve taken my shirts off at weddings,” said Jason. “…I’ve broken things. I dropped one of my buddy’s bridesmaids on her head. It’s gone south at a couple of weddings,” Jason admitted to WSJ Magazine about his past behavior.
“Somehow I keep getting invited back to people’s weddings,” he continued. “I’m a good time, usually. But since being with [my wife] Kylie, it’s been much more tame.”
Jason said that he couldn’t guarantee the same shenanigans won’t happen again at Travis and Swift’s wedding, however
“Listen, the first time I met Taylor was at a Buffalo Bills game. I jumped out of a suite,” he told WSJ Magazine.
“She invites us back to things now! We’ll see if the shirt stays on or off. I think if my shirt comes off, Kylie will be very upset about that,” he added.
