From wearing a pink wig to holding his nieces, here are some adorable photos of 'Uncle Trav' in action with Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finnley

Travis Kelce isn't just a three-time Super Bowl champion — he's also a star uncle.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is known as "Uncle Travy" to his four nieces — or, as Kylie Kelce has called her brother-in-law, "king of the funcles." Kylie and Jason Kelce share four daughters: Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte "Ellie" Ray, Bennett Llewellyn and Finnley "Finn" Anne.

Jason and Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, told PEOPLE in November 2023 that her younger son is "really a good uncle" and "loves" being one, emphasizing that "he's so good and animated."

"They just love him," she said of her grandchildren's relationship with Travis.

As for Jason, during a February 2025 episode of his and Travis' podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis, which took place when Kylie was pregnant with Finn, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center shared that "Travis has great advice. He's a great uncle. Outstanding uncle."

Here are some of Uncle Travy's cutest moments with his nieces, from podcast "hellos" to his awesome birthday gift skills.

When Travis held his niece Bennett for the first time

In a scene from the brothers' Amazon Prime Video documentary, Kelce, Jason introduced his brother to a new member of the family, daughter Bennett. She was born on Feb. 23, 2023.

The secret to holding her, Jason said? "Just like a football."

"Hey, girlie," Travis said sweetly to his new niece. "How we doin'?"

Bennett is Jason and Kylie's third-born. Their oldest daughter, Wyatt, was born on Oct. 2, 2019, while their second child, Elliotte, was welcomed into the world on March 4, 2021. Their youngest Finn joined the family on March 30, 2025.

When Kylie called Travis the "best uncle"

Ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl — in which the Kelce brothers faced off against one another — Kylie told PEOPLE in February 2023 that Travis is the "absolute best uncle you can imagine. He's all in."

"It's very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason," Kylie joked. "I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit, and the poor guy doesn't sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, 'No, no, you sit on the floor. We're gonna do a puzzle. We're gonna build blocks. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do that.' "

She shared that their oldest daughter, Wyatt, is "our boss," and that goes for her command over her uncle, too.

"She's our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I'm like, 'Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?' He was like, 'Yeah, I don't think I can.' And so he will do it," the Not Gonna Lie podcast host said.

Kylie continued: "She'll be like, 'Jump up and down.' He'll do it. 'Roll on the floor,' he'll do it. 'Be the pony.' He'll do it. So he's all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through."

When Travis and "Baby Wy" delivered the "New News"

Has there ever been a cuter interruption? Travis was game for hearing Wyatt's "adorable little voice" during a February 2023 recording of New Heights.

In a clip shared on Instagram, Jason held his eldest up as she came into the frame and perfectly introduced their segment "New News," with Travis looking stoked to hear his 3-year-old niece's rendition of the phrase.

When Travis' niece Wyatt called him "naughty" and "sneaky"

In June 2023, Jason shared a video on Instagram of Wyatt yelling at her uncle for wearing the same wig that Jason wore during an episode of New Heights.

Wyatt repeatedly told Travis to "take it off," prompting Travis to ask, "Why do I have to take it off?"

"Because I don't like it," Wyatt replied, to which Travis said, "You don't like it? I thought you said you wanted Dad to have pink hair!"

"Yeah, but I don't want you to have pink hair!" Wyatt continued. When Travis asked why, Wyatt responded, "Because you're naughty and you're sneaky!"

Jason hilariously captured the video, "That's my girl!! Wyatt already knows Uncle Travy too well!!"

When Travis asked sister-in-law Kylie about babysitting

Kylie joined her husband and brother-in-law for a chat on New Heights in September 2023, where Travis asked her, "How long, if at all, would you allow me to babysit the girls unsupervised?"

She laughed, "But then who is watching you?" She finally landed on "one hour."

"I'd leave you with Wyatt; you can handle Wyatt," Jason added of their eldest, to which Kylie agreed.

When Travis got Wyatt an awesome birthday gift

During an October 2023 episode of the brothers' podcast New Heights, Jason told his younger brother that Wyatt "loves" the present Uncle Trav got her for her 4th birthday: a Polaroid camera!

"There's nothing cooler than a little kid snapping pics on a Polaroid," Travis said.

When Travis honored Wyatt's ask to talk to her uncle

On an episode of New Heights in October 2023, Jason told his brother that Wyatt "asked if she could say hi."

"What's up, girly? How are you doing?" Travis asked. "How was gymnastics?"

Jason added, "What are you wearing? Tell Uncle Trav what you're wearing."

"A leotard!" Wyatt replied enthusiastically.

Travis also got to say "hi" to niece Elliotte, smiling wide as she appeared on-screen. He asked her how she was doing, and the toddler couldn't stop smiling.

"You're smiling big," the proud uncle said. "You're making my day."

When Travis reacted to Elliotte's new sunnies

Before Elliotte ran off camera during that same episode of New Heights, she showed off her sunglasses.

"She's stylin'?" Travis asked.

"Movie star!" Jason declared as he picked up his then 2-year-old for the cameras.

"I love it!" Travis said, pumping his fists as Jason set his daughter down. "Do you tell her when she puts on the sunglasses that she's invisible like they do in Big Daddy?"

When Travis' heart melted at his nieces' Christmas card

When Kylie revealed her girls look for Travis on TV

While chatting with PEOPLE about family traditions — and, of course, football — in late 2023, Kylie shared that the girls looked for their dad and uncle during games. (Jason retired in 2024 after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, while Travis was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013 and has played with them for his entire NFL career.)

"We like to look at the TV for times that Jason might have his helmet off, or Uncle Trav might have his helmet off," she explained. "Those are the moments when I can really suck them into a game because then they don't look like every other person on the field."

She continued: "Anytime they see red teams on the TV, they say, 'Are we cheering for the red team?' Because usually, we're watching Uncle Trav."

When Kylie called Travis the "king of the funcles"

During a June 2025 episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, Kylie told her guest Bindi Irwin that Travis was "definitely king of the funcles," explaining that she liked seeing her four daughters' relationship with their uncle.

"They just know that when he comes, he's gonna lock in," she told Irwin. "He's gonna give them his undivided attention. They're gonna be like, 'Can you get on the floor?' And he's gonna be, like, 'already down there.' "

When Travis said he'll "always be there" for his nieces if they ever get into trouble

Travis appeared on Kylie's podcast in February 2026, where he was shown a TikTok clip of a boy who rode over to his aunt's house to get her to sign a test for him after he'd received a bad grade.

Kylie then asked her brother-in-law how quickly he'd agree to do something like that for Wyatt.

"Well, we know I would definitely sign it. But you guys would know I'm signing it," Travis responded, to which Kylie replied, "Really?"

Travis continued, "Yeah, I don't think I could just be like, 'Alright.' I'm gonna let you guys know that she's failing. She's failing, and you guys need to know that. But you didn't hear it from me. If you heard it from me, that's shame on you."

After Kylie said that was fair and seemed good with them all taking "it to the grave that you told us," Travis explained that while he'd never hide something like that from her and Jason, he does want his nieces to know that he's always got their backs.

"Because Wy's gotta know, and I immediately went to Wyatt. I don't know why. She's just the oldest," he said. "But they gotta know that they have somebody to come to. No matter what. And I'll always be there for them."

When Travis had the best reactions to Wyatt and Elliotte's surprise 'New Heights' cameos

Wyatt has appeared several times on New Heights, and they're all supremely adorable. One of her most recent cameos, in March 2026, was her most dynamic yet, with Jason's eldest interrupting the podcast to stick her tongue out at her uncle.

In the clip, after coming downstairs to peek in on the recording, Wyatt started pulling on her dad's shoulders and peering into the computer to see her uncle, who smiled and waved at his 6-year-old niece. Wyatt stuck her tongue out at Travis, who stuck his tongue out back at her, and the two shook their heads back and forth as they continued sticking their tongues out at each other.

Travis then put his hands on either side of his head, moving them up and down at Wyatt, and she began giggling as she watched her uncle be silly.

Though she's popped up on the podcast less frequently than Wyatt, Elliotte has also made quite an impression on New Heights. When Randy Moss appeared as the brothers' guest during an episode in March 2026, Ellie decided to crash the party, which Travis found "so funny."

Jason asked his daughter to go upstairs, but she shook her head no. Instead of belaboring the request, he asked her to say "hi to the greatest receiver to ever play football." Ellie slipped on the headphones and adorably waved and said, "Hi, Randy Moss!"

Moss replied, "Hi, baby!" He let out a big laugh and clapped his hands before continuing, "Hello, sweetheart, how are you?"

Travis declared the moment "so epic" and "gold."

Though Ellie temporarily left the frame, she popped back in to declare, "Love you, Uncle Travvy! Love you, Randy Moss!"

The brothers and Moss got a kick out of that, all laughing as Jason tried to usher Ellie out of the room.
