Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond full of support, laughter and, of course, football.

As the brothers have found success in the NFL, they have shared glimpses of their relationship off the field. Their family even served as inspiration for Travis’ Saturday Night Live monologue, which he hosted for the first time in February 2023.

“Jason and I have actually been playing football together since we were little kids and he was always better than me — at everything,” Travis quipped of his older brother. “In high school, he was an honor student and I got kicked off the team because I failed French. And then, when we were in college, I actually got kicked off the team because I tested positive for marijuana.”

Both Jason and Travis played football at the University of Cincinnati, overlapping for two years. Travis was let go from the squad in 2010 after random drug testing before Jason advocated for his reinstatement.

“He could have killed me but he was very bit of a mentor in those moments, man,” Travis recalled in his brother’s Kelce documentary, which dropped on Prime Video in September 2023. “Along the way, there was some tough brother s—t that I just had to hear and I knew my brother had gone to the coaches and said, ‘You know, if you give him a second chance, he won’t screw up.’ It kind of put his word on the line. … Without that guy, I don’t know where [or] what I would be doing.”

Jason noted that his “role” was to do “the same thing my parents did in a time of adversity,” which was to support Travis. “My job is to be there to fulfill that same belief and confidence in him,” the Philadelphia Eagles center added.

Keep reading for all of Travis and Jason’s best and most heartwarming quotes about their sibling bond:

The Final Fight

“Jason tells a great story of our last actual fist fight, where he punched me in the face after playing a game of basketball. I had finally got to the point where I was looking him eye-to-eye in high school,” Travis said on the “Manningcast” show in November 2022. “I picked him up and threw him onto the kitchen floor and knocked the stove off its hinges and everything. We got yelled at by mom [Donna Kelce] and almost injured dad [Ed Kelce] in the midst of it all. That’s what ended up breaking up the fight — we almost hurt my dad and sent him to the hospital. That was the end of us fighting.”

The “Kelce Legacy” in the NFL

When Travis was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, he picked a jersey number with a special meaning.

“I love you, you’re the only reason I wear 87,” Travis told his brother in February 2023 in front of reporters, referring to Jason’s birth year of 1987. “I never told you that, man. You started the legacy.”

He later added: “If there is a Kelce legacy [of] two brothers making it to the NFL, it all started in 1987 because this big guy was born in 1987.”

The Kelce Bowl

Jason and Travis became the first brothers to face off in the Super Bowl in February 2023, which Travis’ team won.

“Congratulations, go celebrate,” Jason told his sibling after the game, embracing in a sweet hug. “I love you too. Go celebrate.”

A Saturday Night to Remember

Fresh off Travis’ second Super Bowl victory, he got the call to host SNL later that month.

“The coolest thing about this Super Bowl was that my whole family was there. I got to play against my brother Jason, who is an Eagle, and my mom was on TV more than both of us,” he joked in his monologue about his family. “My mom, dad and brother are all here tonight.”

He continued: “You know, people keep asking me what it was like to beat my brother in the Super Bowl. And, um, it was pretty awkward especially because after the game we had to ride home together. Our mom drove us there in her minivan. Even though his team lost after being up 10 points at half, my brother is actually really happy for me.”

They Always Have Each Other’s Back

“I’m forever in debt to this guy for putting his name, our name — the Kelce name — on the line. When I say I owe it all to him, I really do,” Travis said on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast in June 2023 about Jason talking to multiple college football coaches about his reinstatement.

“Uncle Travvy” Has Endless Energy

Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, share three daughters — Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett — who’ve become big fans of their Uncle Travis.

“Travis just has such a zest and virality for life,” Jason told E! News in September 2023. “My daughters, they’re so drawn to him immediately — partly because he’s gorgeous, but then also he’s just a fun human being. He’s exciting. He has energy for days. He’ll get down on the floor and he’ll crawl into a dollhouse. He does whatever they want.”

Little Brother Syndrome

“Jason is two years older than me, so he always kind of had the upper hand,” Travis teased in the Kelce documentary. “That was everything for me as a kid … to be able to beat Jason at something.”

The Reason Behind the Podcast

“You know, my brother and I really — a lot of times — we don’t talk that much during the season ‘cause we get caught up doing our own thing,” Jason said in Kelce about starting their joint “New Heights” podcast, which Travis added was launched for them to “have fun together” in the middle of the NFL season.

Jason and Travis launched their podcast, titled after their hometown of Cleveland Heights, to discuss their lives and football highlights of the week.

A ‘Better’ Brother

“Trav is so good [and] he’s obviously the better football player,” Jason gushed during an NFL on NBC sitdown in October 2023. “He’s a special person and his personality, the way he carries himself, he’s fun to be around, he’s smart … and he’s just a good-intentioned human being. I wish, in a lot of ways, I was more similar to Trav.”

‘Safety’ First

Travis started dating pop star Taylor Swift in September 2023, with Jason often teasing his brother about his love life. Despite cracking jokes about the high-profile romance, Jason puts Travis’ happiness and well-being over all else.

“It’s certainly been weird, the level that it is now,” Jason told NBC Sports one month later. “On one hand, I’m happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he’s excited about [and] that he is genuine about. But there’s another end of it where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot.’ … There’s some alarms, sometimes, with how over-in-pursuit people can be. Overall, he can deal with some of this. As long as it’s not becoming a threat to his safety and things like that.”

A Competitive Edge

Ahead of Travis and Jason’s November 2023 rematch following Super Bowl LVII, Jason was asked in a pregame press conference about the possibility of the Eagles winning over the Chiefs.

“I’ve beat [Travis] enough in his life that I think I’ll still be happy. I got a lot of them,” Jason quipped to reporters. “It would be nice to get a win under the Eagles’ belt. There’s two teams, not just him. You know, we haven’t beat the [Seattle] Seahawks either. Those are two teams I’ve never been fortunate to get a victory against, but as with every week … you really focus on, ‘What do we need to do?’”

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have an enviable sibling bond full of support, laughter and, of course, football. As the brothers have found success in the NFL, they have shared glimpses of their relationship off the field.

This ‘Too Small’ Christmas Movie Turned an $18M Gamble Into a Half‑Billion Classic

Published

1 hour ago

December 3, 2025

Bolanle Media Staff

Studios almost left this Christmas staple on the cutting‑room floor. Executives initially saw it as a “small” seasonal comedy with limited box‑office upside, and internal budget fights kept the project hovering in limbo around an $18 million price tag.

The fear was simple: why spend real money on a kid‑driven holiday film that would vanish from theaters by January?

That cautious logic aged terribly. Once released, the movie exploded past expectations, pulling in roughly $475–$500 million worldwide and camping at the top of the box office for weeks.

That’s a return of more than 25 times its production budget, putting it among the most profitable holiday releases in modern studio history.

What some decision‑makers viewed as disposable seasonal content quietly became a financial engine that still prints money through re‑runs, streaming, and merchandising every December.

The story behind the numbers is part of why fans feel so attached to it. This was not a four‑quadrant superhero bet with guaranteed franchise upside; it was a character‑driven family comedy built on specific jokes, one child star, and a very particular vision of Christmas chaos. The fact that it nearly got shelved—and then turned into a half‑billion global phenomenon—makes every rewatch feel like a win against studio risk‑aversion.

When you press play each year, you are not just revisiting nostalgia; you are revisiting the rare moment when a “small” movie out‑performed the system that almost killed it.

Anne Hathaway Just Turned Her Instagram Bio Into a 2026 Release Calendar

Anne Hathaway has quietly confirmed that 2026 is going to be her year, and she did it in the most Anne way possible: with a soft-launch in her Instagram bio.

Instead of a traditional studio announcement, the Oscar-winning actor updated her profile text with a simple list of titles and dates, effectively revealing a four-film run that reads like a mini festival of her work spread across the year.

For fans, the bio now doubles as a watchlist, mapping out exactly when they will see her next on the big screen.

According to the update, Hathaway will kick off 2026 with “Mother Mary,” slated for an April release. The film, backed by A24, casts her as a fictional pop star in a psychological, music‑driven drama that has already started building buzz through early trailer drops and stills. Positioned in the spring, it sets the tone for a year where Hathaway leans hard into challenging, high‑concept material while still anchoring major studio projects.

Just weeks later, she pivots from pop icon to fashion-world nostalgia with “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” now dated for May 1, 2026. The sequel brings her back as Andy Sachs, returning to the universe that helped define her mid‑2000s stardom and remains a staple in meme culture and rewatches. For millennials who grew up quoting the original, the firm release date signals that the long-rumored follow‑up is no longer hypothetical—it’s locked in, with Hathaway front and center.

The cast: Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep
The devil wears Prada

Summer belongs to “The Odyssey,” marked for July 17, 2026. Billed as an ambitious, big‑screen reimagining of the classic tale, the project reunites Hathaway with large‑scale, auteur‑driven filmmaking and promises mythic stakes, prestige casting, and blockbuster spectacle. Its prime July slot suggests confidence from the studio and positions Hathaway as a key face of the 2026 summer season, not just a supporting player in someone else’s tentpole.

Finally, Hathaway’s bio points to “Verity,” arriving October 2, 2026, rounding out the year with a dark, suspense‑driven turn. Adapted from a hit thriller novel, the film casts her in a psychologically intense role that leans into obsession, secrets, and unreliable narratives—terrain that plays to her ability to toggle between vulnerability and menace in a single scene. Coming at the start of awards season, “Verity” also gives her a potential late‑year prestige vehicle after a run of crowd‑pleasing releases.

What makes this reveal so striking is the casualness of it. In one short line, Hathaway essentially published a studio slate: four movies, four distinct genres, and a timeline that keeps her on screens from spring through fall. For Hollywood, it underlines her staying power as a true marquee name; for fans, it’s an invitation to mark their calendars and prepare for a year where Anne Hathaway isn’t just part of the conversation—she is the conversation.

Colombia’s ‘Doll’ Arrest: Police Say a 23-Year-Old Orchestrated Hits, Including Her Ex’s Murder

Published

4 hours ago

December 3, 2025

Bolanle Media Staff

Authorities in Colombia say Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodríguez, 23, known as “La Muñeca” (“The Doll”), was arrested in early December on allegations she coordinated contract killings for the Los de la M gang and helped set up the murder of her ex-boyfriend in July. Police reported seizing a 9mm pistol and a revolver during the operation and are testing the weapons against recent homicides in Barrancabermeja, a city battered by drug-war killings this year.

What police allege

Investigators describe Ojeda Rodríguez as a youthful face with a senior role: not a trigger-puller, but a coordinator who relayed orders to sicarios, managed target selection, and handled logistics for a network tied to drug trafficking and extortion in Santander. They say she rose quickly within Los de la M, operating in hot spots like Barrancabermeja and Piedecuesta, where rivalries over territory and revenue have fueled violence.

The July killing at the center

Prosecutors allege she lured her ex-boyfriend, Deyvy Jesús García Palomino (“Orejas”), to a rural meeting on July 23 under the guise of settling a money dispute. When he arrived, two shooters on a motorcycle attacked at close range; he later died at the hospital. Investigators point to recovered messages to argue the meetup was a setup arranged in advance, and they claim she and an accomplice received roughly 4 million pesos—about $1,000—for the hit.

The December takedown

Police announced her capture following a targeted early-December sweep, framing it as a blow to Los de la M’s homicide pipeline.

Alongside Ojeda Rodríguez, officers detained an alleged accomplice known as “Gorda Sicaria” who purportedly passed orders to gunmen, and a man identified as “Leopoldo.”

Forensic tests on the seized weapons aim to link the guns to crime scenes amid a year marked by more than a hundred killings in Barrancabermeja, according to media cited by authorities.

A clear timeline

July 23: Ex-boyfriend “Orejas” shot after a rural meetup; he dies in hospital the same day. Authorities later cite phone messages as evidence of premeditation.
Late 2024: Police publicly identify “La Muñeca” as an alleged coordinator within Los de la M tied to multiple homicides in Santander.
Early December 2025: Targeted operation results in the arrests of Ojeda Rodríguez and alleged accomplices; police seize a 9mm pistol and a revolver for ballistic testing.

Why the case resonates

The contrast between the “Doll” moniker and the accusations of top-level murder coordination has fueled global attention, while the intimate ex-partner setup adds a personal dimension to an already combustible gang narrative. Authorities caution that ballistic and judicial proceedings are ongoing, but they characterize the arrests as a significant hit to a group blamed for a wave of killings in the region.
