Jason Kelce declared hes officially a fan of womens rugby as he chatted with Team USA star player Ilona Maher in the locker room following her squads win against Brazil at the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

Maher shared a TikTok clip of her teasing the former Philadelphia Eagles center about his support as he appeared to be wearing a jersey signed by the womens rugby team.

Womens water polo has Flavor Flav as their superfan and you are a girl dad, said Maher, whose TikTok clips went viral during the Tokyo games in 2021.

Do you get anything from being our superfan? No. Theres no reward, no money, no benefits, I dont think I can get you free stuff.

Youre a great salesman, joked Kelce before Maher asked him to speak to the camera person. I am officially a fan of womens rugby, Olympics.

We got Jason Kelce, shouted Maher as Kelce smiled while the room erupted in cheers.

Outside of his sweet video with Maher, Team USA womens rugby star Nicole Heavirland also shared a clip of her facing off against Kelce in an arm wrestling match following her teams victory over Brazil.

@jason.kelce holding on to that table a little bit? , wrote the Team USA star of the clip showing Kelce winning the friendly match.

The New Heights podcast Instagram account shared the post , as well, alongside a caption that read, If you aint cheating you aint trying .

Thanks for letting him win @nicole406heavirland, the caption continued.

Kelce also took to X to weigh in on the video, writing, Grabbing something with your off hand is not against any rules according to the guidelines set forth by the IFAW (International Federation of Arm Wrestling).
