Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson take their showmanship to another level for the Eagles
Jason and Travis Kelce announced the winner of Kylie Kelce's jacket auction on an episode of their podcast. The brothers had McElhenney and Olson on the show, where the actor and actress couple discussed their bid war. Olson made fun of McElhenny for not realizing his wife was the top bidder.
“We live in the same house. This is a foundation that's important to both of us. The jacket looks great on [Kylie Kelce], it's clearly for women. I want it. [McElhenny] mentions nothing about it. I'm like ‘What are you doing?'…moron,” Olson said on the New Heights podcast, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment.

The two stars will receive Kylie Kelce's throwback jacket, a replica of Princess Diana's famous Eagles letterman jacket. The proceeds will go to the Eagles Autism Foundation, a cause that McElhenney and Olson both care deeply about.
Soon enough, Olson will represent her team in style while being proud of the impact she and her husband will make on Philadelphia's charity organization.
