If you’ve been pronouncing Kelce as two syllables, then you have been saying it wrong.
While on Travis and his brother Jason‘s New Heights podcast, Ed said that the name only has one syllable.
You should be saying “Kels” instead of “Kel-cee.”
Ed explained that he “got tired of correcting people” and decided to let it go, via Men’s Health. In particular, that was the case for him at work.
“And everybody at work (said) that and so I just said, ‘Fine, screw this.’”
While we might be pronouncing the name wrong, Ed explained that he wanted his children to make their own decisions on how to say their name. “Do whatever you want, I did,” he told them.
You’re probably pronouncing the names of all these stars wrong, too.
