On the field, he’s Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, but when he’s home with family, he’s Uncle Trav.

Travis Kelce is proud uncle to his older brother Jason’s three daughters with wife Kylie, Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett.

“He is like the absolute best uncle you can imagine,” Kylie told PEOPLE in early 2023. “He’s all in.”

Here, some of Uncle Trav’s cutest moments with his nieces, from podcast hellos to awesome birthday gifting.

In a scene from the brothers’ Amazon Prime Video documentary Kelce, Jason introduced his brother to the newest member of the family, daughter Bennett.

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

“Hey girlie,” Travis said sweetly to his new niece. “How we doin?”

When He Got Wyatt an Awesome Birthday Gift

On an October 2023 episode of the brothers’ podcast New Heights, Jason told his younger bro 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.

Those smiles! During an October 2023 episode of New Heights, Jason brought 2-year-old Elliotte on to show off her sunglasses.

“She’s stylin’?” Travis asked.

“Movie star!” Jason said as he picked her up for the cameras.

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

When He Honored Wyatt’s Ask to Talk to ‘Uncle Trav’

In the same October 2023 episode of New Heights, Wyatt “asked if she could say hi,” Jason told his brother.

“What’s up girly? How are you doing?” Travis asked. “How was gymnastics?”

“What are you wearing? Tell Uncle Trav what you’re wearing,” Jason added.

“A leotard!” she 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,” Travis said. “You’re making my day.”

When He Asked Sister-in-Law Kylie About Babysitting

When Jason’s wife Kylie joined the brothers for a chat on New Heights, 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?” Finally landing on, “one hour.”

“I’d leave you with Wyatt, you can handle Wyatt,” Jason added of their eldest, to which Kylie agreed.

When His Niece Called Him ‘Naughty’ and ‘Sneaky’

Over the summer, Jason posted a hilarious video to his Instagram of Wyatt yelling at Travis for wearing the same wig that Jason wore during an episode of New Heights.

In the video, Wyatt told Travis to “take it off!” several times, prompting Travis to ask, “Why do I have to take it off?”

“Because I don’t like it,” Wyatt replied. “You don’t like it? I thought you said you wanted Dad to have pink hair!” Travis said.

“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!”

When Kylie Called Him the ‘Best Uncle’

Ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl — in which the Kelce brothers faced off against one another — Jason’s wife Kylie told PEOPLE that Travis is the “absolute best” uncle to her girls.

“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 added.

“Our oldest, she’s our boss. 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,” she shared.

“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.”
