JASON Kelce rubbed shoulders with sporting royalty at the Paris Olympics – but claims wife Kylie was completely oblivious.
The former NFL star attended last month’s Games and was sat near to Olympic legend Michael Phelps.

Kelce discussed the trip with brother Travis during a new episode of popular podcast New Heights.
Jason has enjoyed a whirlwind summer after retiring from the NFL in March following 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He and Kylie took their seats in Paris to watch gymnast Simone Biles attempt to make history and win gold in the all-around event.
“We’re sitting there watching the women’s gymnastics final,” Jason told Travis on Wednesday’s season premiere.
“We hadn’t seen the kids in a while and Kylie’s, I think, feeling a little bit of that like, ‘I’m missing my kids.’”
Kelce revealed Kylie began looking around the arena and told him she had spotted “someone holding a baby.”
“I turn around,” he continued, “It’s f***ing Michael Phelps holding his child!
“I’m like, ‘Kylie, if you see Michael Phelps, you don’t say, ‘Someone is holding the baby.”
Former swimmer Phelps, who has four sons, is the most decorated Olympian of all time.
He won a total of 28 medals across five Olympics, including a record 23 golds.
“You lead with Michael Phelps!” Jason laughed.
“Ky is funny as f*** for that,” a laughing Travis replied.
New Heights has proved a huge hit for the Kelce’s, with a new audience brought in thanks to Travis’ relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
The siblings penned a $100 million deal with Amazon earlier this week as the show begins its third season.
‘A great escape’
Kelce and Swift have been constant presences at each other’s events, and Reid shared that he thinks they enjoy getting out of the spotlight.
“He can handle it. I think there’s a great escape for him,” Reid told the Athletic.
“I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.
“And when he goes to her concerts, she’s the star and he can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” the Kelce’s said in a statement, via the outlet.
“We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons.
“Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to New Heights.
“We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3.”
Travis is back in training as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end targets a fourth Super Bowl ring.
The Chiefs have won the past two Vince Lombardi’s and are aiming for a historic three-peat.
No team in the modern NFL era has managed to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
