No one has supported Jason Kelce’s football career more than his wife, Kylie. And so when he retired from the NFL after 13 career seasons, Kylie gave Jason the perfect gift.
Kylie had a wood replica of Lincoln Financial Field made, with Jason’s name engraved along with all of his accolades.
Earlier this month, the two celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary, with everyone having fallen in love with the iconic couple due to their incredible banter. And the story of the two meeting is one that nobody will ever forget.
“I won’t forget the Eagles Christmas party in 2014, and heading out afterwards with a bunch of my teammates to Buffalo Billiards, where my life would change forever. That night, I’d meet my future wife,” Kelce said during his retirement speech. “I still remember the moment she walked through the door. The first instance is burned in my retina. It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. Then she started talking and I thought, ‘Man, is this what love feels like?'”m
Jason’s retirement speech was very emotional, but as usual, along with complimenting him, Kylie provided a funny comment when asked what she thought about it.
“It, of course, made me emotional,” she said during an interview with NBC10 in March. “It cracks me up that he tries to talk about what he remembers from that night because he was, as I’ve said before, intoxicated. It was very, very sweet. Very kind. It was far too much credit.”
While fans are no longer going to get to see Jason on the field competing with the Eagles, his New Heights podcast will hopefully provide plenty more Kylie content.
And as for how he’s keeping busy, Kylie believes that Jason will eventually find something to do. At least she hopes he does.
“He needs to get out of the — it’s not that I need him to get out of the house. It’s like he needs to get out of the house. I think that with three small children, I don’t think golf is going to cut it,” Kylie said on The Today Show at the beginning of April.
