Kylie Kelce says her four daughters are excited about the recent news that they'll be getting a very cool aunt following the engagement of pop superstar Taylor Swift and their uncle, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
"The girls are thrilled. They're so excited they're getting another aunt," Kelce told “Good Morning America." "And we could not be more excited for them and what the future holds. We love love, and we love Taylor and Trav."
Kelce shares her kids with husband Jason Kelce, a retired Philadelphia Eagles center and Travis Kelce's older brother.
The couple was on hand at the Eagles' NFL opener in Philadelphia on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
Before the Eagles clinched their 24-20 win, Kylie Kelce and the Eagles Autism Foundation had a big surprise for 5-year-old Billy, a young fan with autism -- a type of developmental disability -- inviting him onto the field for a pre-game ceremony at Lincoln Financial Field.
Kylie Kelce first met Billy at an Eagles practice game last year through her work as an ambassador for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
"The Eagles organization is synonymous with Eagles Autism Foundation and the work that they're doing, putting funds behind projects that are impacting the autism community every single day," Kylie Kelce said.
Billy and Kylie Kelce's first meeting was captured on camera and went viral at the time, garnering more than 6 million views after it was shared on TikTok.
Kylie Kelce later said she wanted to give Billy, a lifelong Eagles fan, the chance to celebrate with his real-life heroes on the Eagles team.
Last night, they got to do just that, with Kylie Kelce and Billy walking through the tunnel and onto the field together.
Billy soaked in all the action, dancing with the Eagles mascot while surrounded by others in the autism community.
"Billy is such a special kid," Kylie Kelce said. "Watching his face and how he interacted with the joy he was feeling, you can almost feel it through him. I know as kids, having four of my own, they just wanna have fun and enjoy the moment."
The Eagles Autism Foundation has raised awareness about autism and $40 million for autism research since 2018.
"Every dollar that's donated to the foundation is invested in research and care," Ryan Hammond, the executive director of the Eagles Autism Foundation, told "GMA" back in January.
The foundation also creates community among families of children with autism and gets kids active, including through all-purpose clinics that let kids focus on their abilities like cheering, drumming, playing football and more.
Stephanie Stricker, whose son Tyler Crespo participates in Eagles Autism Foundation activities, told "GMA" in April that the foundation's programs have been invaluable.
"The biggest thing is we have other people to relate to, meeting people and talking to people and being connected with these people. It's literally impacted every possible facet of our lives," Stricker said at the time.
