Jason Kelce congratulates Travis Kelce on Taylor Swift pregnancy… “I’m proud and happy for you, Bro”

Back on October 4, Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James sent out a tweet asking to appear on the New Heights podcast (presented by Wave Sports+Entertainment) from Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce.

That led to a lot of speculation that James was trying to get in on the waves of interest around Travis’ reported relationship with pop music superstar Taylor Swift. And on Wednesday’s episode of New Heights, the Kelce brothers discussed that, and said they’d previously reached out to James with an invite long before he asked for one:starts around 3:03 there, with Jason saying “We got tweeted at by LeBron!”, and Travis saying “Yeah, that was pretty wild. I wasn’t expecting him to be listening into the show or at least seeing the social clips,” and Jason saying “Yeah, there’s no chance he’s listening to a full episode, but the social clips are good enough.” Then, after Jason discusses how media brought James’ tweet up to him after the Eagles’ game Sunday, he says (around 3:49) they’ve previously invited James on the podcast:

“But LeBron knows, we’ve been trying to get him on the show for a while. I know he’s acting like he’s just coming on now, but we’ve been trying to get him up here for a minute
