AceShowbiz - Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has added Emmy nominee to his list of accomplishments. His Amazon Prime documentary, "Kelce", has been nominated in two categories at the 45th annual Sports Emmy Awards: Outstanding Long Documentary and Outstanding Editing.
The documentary follows Kelce through the 2022 NFL season, a period marked by both personal and professional milestones. It captures his initial contemplation of retirement, the birth of his third daughter, and the debut of his popular podcast, "New Heights", with brother Travis Kelce. The film culminates in the historic Super Bowl LVII, where Jason faced off against Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Accompanying Jason's career journey, the documentary offers a glimpse into his family life, featuring interviews with his wife, Kylie, his parents and his brothers. It also charts the impact of Travis's relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift on the Kelce family dynamic.
In a humorous twist, Jason Kelce's recent appearance in the WWE ring prompted a commentator to jokingly refer to him as Taylor's "brother-in-law." This follows a series of similar misidentifications by former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who has twice mistakenly called Swift Travis Kelce's wife during NFL broadcasts.
Despite the affectionate teasing, Taylor and Travis Kelce have been enjoying a relaxing offseason, recently returning from a vacation in the Bahamas. The couple has been spotted in public, displaying their affection and delight in their relationship.
"Kelce" premiered on Prime Video in September 2023 and quickly became the streamer's most-watched documentary in the U.S. Kelce's Emmy nominations add to the film's success, showcasing the emotional depth and behind-the-scenes insights it offers into one of football's most beloved players and his remarkable family.
