Jason Kelce Greeted at Chicago Hot Dog Spot with ‘Welcome Taylor’s Boyfriend’s Brother’ Sign
The Wieners Circle poked fun at Jason amid his brother Travis Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift
Jason Kelce had quite the welcome at a hot dog stand in Chicago.
On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, stopped by The Wieners Circle in the city, where he was greeted by a sign that read, “Welcome Taylors Boyfriends Brother.”
Jason’s fellow NFL star brother Travis Kelce has been linked to Taylor Swift since September, with the duo first sparking dating rumors when she attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24
In photos shared on The Wieners Circle’s Instagram Thursday, a lit-up sign below the spot’s logo shared the fun message to Jason. The account also posted a picture of the NFL player queuing up to try one of their hot dogs.
“Mean (Wiener Circles Version),” the snaps were captioned, referencing Swift’s 2010 track “Mean” from her album Speak Now.
Along with being referred to as “Taylors Boyfriends Brother,” the eatery also put together another cheeky sign for Jason that read, “Welcome The Other Kelce Brother.”
According to CBS News Chicago, the dad of three was joined at the stand by Thursday Night Football analyst Andrew Whitworth.
The romance between Travis, 34, and the pop star, 33, has been heating up in recent week, with a source telling PEOPLE at the end of October that things between the pair are “quickly turning more serious.”
“They share a strong work ethic and have a huge appreciation for life and their careers, strong family bond and values,” the source added.
Since going public with their romance in mid-October, the pair have been photographed holding hands in New York and stepping out for dinner in Kansas City together.
Sources also told PEOPLE that Travis was planning to support Swift on her Eras Tour in Argentina during his NFL bye week, though during the singer’s first show in Buenos Aires on Thursday, Travis attended his teammate Patrick Mahomes’ charity gala in Kansas City.
The “Cruel Summer” singer still has two shows to go in the Argentine capital, and on the latest episode of Travis and Jason’s podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, earlier this week, Jason tried to get his sibling to reveal if he was going to South America to join Swift.
“Got anything you’re looking forward to going to?” Jason asked his little brother.
“Not really,” replied Travis. “I might just say f— it and just go somewhere nice, I don’t know. My skin’s getting real pale so I gotta go somewhere sunny.”
“Somewhere south?” interjected Jason while Travis added, “Closer to the equator.”
“South of the equator? Jason continued, to which his brother laughed.
