Jason Kelce‘s wife Kylie has a fan in her mother-in-law as Donna Kelce gushed over their bond and showered her with praise in a recent interview.

In an exclusive with US Weekly a day after the Eagles’ playoff elimination, Donna preached how Kylie is a standup individual who does things independently.

‘She is just one of those individuals that takes everything onto herself,’ Donna said of Kylie. ‘She doesn’t need any help.’

Donna also revealed that while she has two sons in the NFL, having Kylie meant she had somebody to enjoy women’s sports with. However, their similarities go deeper than rooting for the same teams and athletes.

‘I think women’s sports, we both love that,’ Donna continued. ‘A lot of just really fun things. We’re just very similar in our likes and dislikes and how we feel about the world and everything that goes on in the United States.’

‘So yeah, we pretty much have the same temperature when it comes to what’s going on.’

The pair also share a love for entertaining and hosting gatherings despite the contrast in their family backgrounds.

‘Our family has always been very small, just the four of us,’ said of her sons Travis, Jason and their father, Ed. ‘That’s what it was [like] growing up.

‘She has an extended family that’s quite large, so [they’re] used to entertaining, used to making big, big meals and a lot of go-to recipes, for sure.’

Jason and Kylie’s love story began with a Tinder swipe. Kylie, a former field hockey standout at Cabrini University, previously revealed that their first date was not the greatest experience, to which the Eagles center agreed.

They got married in 2018 and have three daughters; Wyatt (4) Eliotte (2) and Bennett (10 months)

‘You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk,’ Kylie said on the New Heights podcast.

‘Not a good first date,’ Jason responded. ‘(I) got a little bit too inebriated, but I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight.’

In 2015, Kylie posted a picture with Jason and wrote: ‘Thank goodness you swiped right.’ Three years later, the pair got married and since had three daughters; four-year-old Wyatt, two-year old Elliotte and 10-month old Bennett.

Both Donna and Kylie were present on Monday as Jason played his likely last NFL game in a wild card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After the 32-9 loss, Kelce reportedly told his teammates that he will be stepping away from the sport, perhaps to spend more time with Kylie and their young daughters.
