Jason and Kylie Kelce have made it to Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics! And their first stop? Watching the U.S. women's hockey team throttle Sweden.

The couple was spotted in the stands of Milan's Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena on Monday, Feb. 16, as they cheered on Team USA in the semifinal matchup.

Jason, 38, was decked out in a USA hockey jersey, while Kylie, 33, wore a knit sweater in red, white and blue. They were seen standing up and cheering as the U.S. took down Sweden 5-0 to snag their spot in the gold medal game on Thursday, where they'll either face their heated rivals Canada or Switzerland.

Jason and his brother Travis Kelce are already big fans of one player in particular — Laila Edwards, who plays defense for the U.S. and is from their hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Edwards told PEOPLE exclusively in January that Jason and Travis, 36, donated to the GoFundMe her family set up to help fund their flights and hotel stays in Milan to support their star daughter.

It all began, she said, with a shoutout on their New Heights podcast in 2023.

"When I first made the national team, they shouted me out on their podcast for being the first Black woman to play on the team," Edwards told PEOPLE last month. "I thought, 'I'll just message them, thanking them, they'll never see it.' And then Travis and I had a full conversation over DM, and that was super cool... he was a really down-to-earth, humble guy who was super supportive and had really good things to say."

Travis and Jason then donated, PEOPLE confirmed.

"They've helped out with my family's GoFundMe to go over there and support me," Edwards said. "My family put up a GoFundMe, and [they] donated... [Travis has] been in touch a little bit on how else he can help."

"So I mean, those are just really good guys," she continues of the Kelce brothers, adding, "They're really good people, too, outside of their athletic abilities."

At the game on Monday, Edwards told reporters, including PEOPLE, that she hasn't gotten a chance to meet Jason and Kylie in Milan, but was excited to hear they were in the arena.

"No, not yet, that's really cool though, I'm so happy to hear that and just, to see they're showing support," she said.

Now, Edwards, a college student at the University of Wisconsin, and her teammates are hoping to win women's hockey gold for the first time in eight years. She's already won two NCAA championships with the Badgers and the 2025 World Championship, but Edwards is a big fan of the squad this Olympics.

"This is one of the best groups I've ever been a part of," she told reporters.
