On the New Heights podcast, Ellie Kelce said bye to her favorite uncle, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Jason Kelce does a lot of traveling with his work as an ESPN analyst, so he will record the New Heights podcast from various locations.

Fans of the show probably love it when Kelce is at home because of the interruptions. Yeah, that may seem odd, but for those who don’t know it, Kelce and his wife, Kylie, have four daughters.

Podcast listeners can sometimes hear the girls in the background, but on rare occasion one will appear on camera.

That was the case in the latest episode of New Heights, and there was an adorable interaction between 4-year-old Ellie and her uncle, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

As the brothers were interviewing actor Miles Teller, Ellie appeared, apparently because she was leaving the house.

“Ellie!” Travis Kelce said sweetly when she appeared.

“Bye-bye, Uncle Travvy,” Ellie called out as she was leaving.

Travis responded: “Bye, thank you sweetie.”

And at the start of the episode, Jason Kelce’s 6-year-old daughter, Wyatt, stole the show to the delight of Uncle Travvy.

This also was wonderful.
