Travis Kelce may be busy getting ready for the playoffs, but he always has time for his nieces.

Although the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, is known for his skills on the football field, he's made a name for himself as "Uncle Trav," the doting uncle to his brother Jason Kelce's three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Bennett, 2, and Elliotte, 10 months.

"Travis is a great uncle," a source tells PEOPLE. "He loves spending time with his nieces. They try to do typical family stuff."

Travis’s adorable interactions with his nieces caught the attention of fans when Jason’s oldest daughter Wyatt recently made an appearance on their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce (Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment).

"Wyatt asked if she could say hi," Jason said before hoisting her onto his lap.

Travis gasped and said, "Look at you!" as Wyatt responded, "Hi Uncle Trav!"

"What's up girly? How are you doing?" he asked. "How was gymnastics?"

"What are you wearing? Tell Uncle Trav what you're wearing," Jason said as Wyatt interjected, “a leotard!”

Travis also chatted with another one of his nieces, Elliotte, smiling wide as the toddler appeared on screen.

When he asked her how she was doing, the little girl couldn't stop smiling. "You're smiling big," Travis said. "You're making my day."

In June, Jason shared a hilarious video to his Instagram of his daughter Wyatt yelling at his brother Travis for wearing the same wig that Jason wore during another episode of the brothers' podcast.

In the video, Wyatt told Travis to "take it off!" several times, prompting Travis to ask, "Why do I have to take it off?"

"Because I don't like it," Wyatt asserted, leaning into Travis' face. "You don't like it? I thought you said you wanted Dad to have pink hair!" Travis said.

"Yeah, but I don't want you to have pink hair!" Wyatt insisted. When Travis asked why he can't have pink hair, Wyatt hilariously responded, "Because you're naughty and you're sneaky!"

Jason captioned the post, "That's my girl!! Wyatt already knows Uncle Travy too well!!"
