Ed Kelce, the father of the beloved NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, says he has been banned for life on X – but doesn’t know why.

He made the revelation on Facebook, where he shared a news story that claims Houthi arms dealers are using X to sell weapons.

Kelce wrote: ‘Arms dealers are free to peddle their wares on X but I’m banned for life and they won’t say why, just a generic ‘Terms of Service’ violation.’

Ed, alongside the rest of the Kelce family, have had a meteoric rise in fame after Kansas City Chiefs star began dating Taylor Swift last September.

The Kelce brothers joked on their New Heights podcast about feeling nervous at their dad talking to Swift at a Chiefs game last October against Denver Broncos.

Kelce says he has no idea why he has been banned other than a ‘Terms of Service’ violation

Kelce made the surprising revelation on Facebook, where he frequently posts

‘Papa Kelce in the spotlight. If you were watching the game, you saw something momentous happen,’ Jason said.

‘Momentous,’ Travis added, before Jason continued: ‘He shouldn’t be talking to Taylor Swift.

‘If you see Dad talking to someone and you can’t hear what’s happening, who knows where that conversation is going.’

Travis continued: ‘You know Dad like I know Dad. This is a terrifying conversation. I felt terrible for Taylor for being in this.’

Despite mocking their father over the incident, Travis insisted in the same part of the show that he and Jason ‘have the best f***ing dad in the world.’

And it seems that Taylor and Ed get on well. They were pictured celebrating together when the Chiefs beat the Ravens last season to make the Super Bowl and Ed has previously paid tribute to what Swift is like behind the scenes.

‘Every game there’s people crowding outside the front of that suite trying to get a glimpse of Taylor, wanting to meet Taylor,’ Ed said on the TODAY show in January.

‘Taylor’s very gracious, but she can’t do everything. And she’s got security guys who don’t want her doing anything.

Ed Kelce has previously been extremely complimentary of his son’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift

‘That’s their job and she’s smart enough to know, “I’m paying these guys to keep me safe. I should probably listen to them.” But if it was up to her she’d be out there with everyone who wants her.’

Ed and Swift will probably be spending more time together soon. The NFL season restarts on September 5 when the Chiefs play the Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Travis and Taylor have been getting in some downtime before the season starts up again – they are at her Rhode Island mansion with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes after the singer’s European tour came to an end last week.
