Jason Kelce and his former Eagles teammate Lane Johnson made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40 on Saturday at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field – and gave fans an absolute show as they helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade win.

Kelce, an Eagles legend who announced his retirement from the NFL last month, donned an Eagles mask along with Johnson as the pair ambushed Dom Mysterio and stopped him from using a chair against his father, Rey.

From there, Rey landed a double 619 on Dom and his partner Santos Escobar before frog splashing on Escobar to secure the win.

Kelce and Johnson then celebrated the victory in the ring with Rey and Andrade, before removing their Eagles masks.

The Philly pair then stood on the rope and basked in the reception from the hometown crowd.

They later celebrated in the ring with Rey Mysterio and Andrade – who they helped win

The X account of New Heights, the podcast that Kelce co-hosts with his brother Travis, re-shared a clip of the sequence originally posted by WWE.

‘NAME A BETTER TAG TEAM, I’LL WAIT,’ the account captioned the video.

Afterwards, Jason was pictured with wrestling great The Rock backstage.

Saturday marked just the second time that WrestleMania had been held in Philly, with the last time coming in 1999 at the First Union Center (now known as the Wells Fargo Center).

This time, it was held at Lincoln Financial Field – the home of the Eagles, who Kelce played for for 13 seasons.

Next week, Jason and Travis will host a live version of New Heights from Cincinnati’s Nipper Stadium.

Johnson also flashed a smile in the ring after removing his Eagles mask on Saturday night

And the brothers have announced a special guest: Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

The Kelce brothers are hoping to break the all-time attendance record for a live crowd to witness a podcast taping, which was set at just under 21,000 by Canadian comedian Mike Ward in July 2022.

Nipper Stadium has a capacity of 38,088, but likely could hold more if needed due to seating on the turf for a live podcast.

‘New Heights’ is Jason and Travis’ weekly podcast that has generated millions of listens around the world – with an assist from Travis’ relationship to pop star Taylor Swift.

Jυst dropped aпother batch of photos from a stυппiпg family photoshoot (that had faпs fawпiпg over her fresh-faced look!),

aпd there are so maпy cυte shots.

There’s a precioυs photo of Brittaпy with her kids — Sterliпg, 3 aпd Broпze, 1 — who she shares with hυsbaпd .

There’s oпe of Patrick majorly cheesiпg while his toddlers sit oп his lap.

 

There’s a priceless oпe of Sterliпg playiпg with a bυbble-blowiпg gυп while her little brother goes to pop a bυbble. (Althoυgh perhaps пot qυite as priceless as this oпe of Patrick aпd Sterliпg from the 2024 Sυper Bowl — it’s oпe of oυr all-time favorites.) Aпd theп there are the υltra-cυte shots of Sterliпg aпd Broпze iп their matchiпg Bυrberry oυtfits. Sterliпg wore a blυe checked dress, aпd Broпze rocked a shirt aпd shorts iп the same patterп.

Best of all, thoυgh, was the fiпal photo with Patrick aпd his kiddos. Why? Becaυse it looks like Broпze is strikiпg the Heismaп Trophy pose. If yoυ’re υпfamiliar with the coveted prize, it’s the premier award iп college football.

“Ok broпze lookiпg like he’s iп the heismaп staпce lol,” oпe follower joked becaυse the kiddo has the makiпgs of a great stiff-arm.

Thoυgh Patrick has woп three Sυper Bowls iп five seasoпs, he did пot wiп the Heismaп dυriпg his time at Texas Tech Uпiversity. Bυt who kпows! Maybe Broпze is oп his way to beiпg a Heismaп wiппer.

Plυs, Brittaпy told SheKпows exclυsively that Broпze is “defiпitely a sports gυy.”

“Yoυ give him aпy type of ball aпd he will have the time of his life,” she revealed. “He loves basketball. He loves football. I meaп, we took him to the park receпtly, aпd he caп spot a ball from a mile away aпd he’ll spriпt to that ball aпd play with it υпtil he’s tired.”

Kelce made an appearance at the NCAA’s March Madness semi finals in Cleveland Friday, April 5

 

 

Kylie Kelce is catching up with fans at the game!

The mom of three, 32, was snapped smiling with fans courtside while attending the NCAA women’s basketball March Madness Final Four at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Friday, April 5.

Kelce, who is married to retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, was described as “incredibly gracious and kind” during the interaction in a caption on X (formerly Twitter) written alongside the photo.

“I very rarely ask celebs for photos but @callahankatie1 & I made an exception for Princess Kyana aka #KylieKelce at the #WFinalFour,” the X user, named Amanda Brooks, wrote in the caption. “No surprise, but she was incredibly gracious and kind to a *long* line of fans and 2 PR gals from ESPN.”

During Friday’s event, Kylie was seen in a clip posted by Yahoo Sports on X making her way to her seat. The 32-year-old was also seen smiling from her section as she watched the game in another clip posted by NCAA March Madness on X.

Kylie’s husband Jason, 36, and their three daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 13 months, did not appear to have attended.

The outcome of Friday’s March Madness Final Four tournament saw the University of South Carolina Gamecocks win against the NC State Wolfpack at a score of 78-59 and the Iowa Hawkeyes defeat the University of Connecticut Huskies with a score of 71-69.

Caitlin Clark led Iowa to victory during the Women’s Final Four on Friday.

South Carolina remains undefeated after going through to the women’s final after a successful second half of their game, per ESPN. Star player Kamilla Cardoso scored the most out of all scorers during both matches with 22 points, leading the team to the championships.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, meanwhile, scored 21 points in the second half of their game against Connecticut, bringing the team to victory. Her impressive score comes after she received a sweet message of support from the Kansas City Chiefs on social media ahead of the game.

This means Iowa will next play against South Carolina at the National Championships on Sunday, April 7.

NFL athletes are known to have expensive tastes and spending splurges.

Be it a supercar, a sports team, a house, or just a random farm.

As long as the money flows, the expenses will come.

This is exactly what one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL is also doing.

Let’s take a look at what Patrick Mahomes is driving with a 10-year, $450 million contract sitting in his pocket. Patrick Mahomes does not strike fans as the typical, garden-variety quarterback. Indeed, his unique playstyle and his ability to come in clutch for his team have mesmerized many. In the same vein as his non-conforming style on the gridiron, he also has a car collection that many would not particularly identify as that of a QB of his stature. Although, there are some notable Italian names on that short list.

Starting with the cheapest car on his list, the $35,000 Genesis G70. A luxury sedan with sporty features, Mahomes got his hands on this beauty when he won the Pro Bowl MVP award back in 2019. He should have ideally have a Hyundai car in his collection after he won the Super Bowl MVP award in 2021, but sadly, Hyundai decided against giving out free cars.

Mahomes also has a 2021 Rolls Royce Cullinan in his garage, and in true Mahomes style, the car comes with unique 26-inch white wheels. Expect Mahomes to deck out anything he can flaunt, especially this British beauty, which costs around $335,000, his second most expensive car. Stalloni Italiani”: Patrick Mahomes and his stable of Italian behemoths
It wouldn’t be a true superstar’s car collection if it did not have a true superstar of the automobile world. In Mahomes’ case, this space is filled by one of the best cars yet. His crown jewel is a $330,000 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast, one of the fastest road cars on the earth. Mahomes bought this fine piece of Italian automobile genius after he signed a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He does not stop there either. With his massive contract in place, he also bought his wife and high school sweetheart, Brittany Mahomes, a very expensive gift with wheels. Also from Italy, lady Mahomes received a $200,000 Lamborghini Urus truck. She took to Instagram to post pictures of the truck, and wrote “Nothing like waking up at 8 am to a new car on Monday.”

Mahomes seems to have a gifting nature towards those he holds dear. Reportedly, Mahomes bought his father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., a black Cadillac Escalade for his 50th birthday. “Whenever I was young, and he was in MLB, I remember him having the black Escalade,” Mahomes said. “So I ended up getting him one for his birthday.”

Patrick Mahomes has already won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs, and now he has a chance to add to the tally. The Kansas City Chiefs finished 1st in the AFC and will enjoy a bye week as the rest of the teams in the playoffs battle it out. However, next week, they will be back on the gridiron for the divisional round. Will the Chiefs blast through whoever steps in front of them, and clinch the Super Bowl?

 

The NFL has its fair share of celebrity It couples: from Russ and Ciara to Brittany and Mahomes. A lot of the NFL players have had a lot of beautiful stories in terms of love. Philadephia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his wife are no exception. The couple has become one of Philly’s most loved and regularly updates the fans about each other.

 

 

Furthermore, the couple celebrated a very important moment in their marriage very publicly. Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce took to Instagram to share a beautiful image of the couple which also showcased a message for the center. The picture has garnered a huge reaction from fans.

The story of Jason and Kylie and fans’ reactions
The couple who are celebrating such a monumental occasion actually had a funny story about how they got together. In the modern world, even love stories have become modern in their making. Kelce and his wife got together due to a virtual platform. They both met each other through Tinder. The couple quickly became close after their online meet cute and made their relationship official on social media in November 2015. The couple got married in 2018 and have been together since then. As the post of their anniversary went viral, fans took to Instagram to congratulate them and talk about it.

 

Fans were very happy for the couple. One fan congratulated them, spoke about the love they have for Kelce, and said, “What a beautiful couple! Congratulations! I hope you don’t mind how much all us fans love your husband too!”

There were also fans showcasing their love for Kelce that said, “He is the man. There will be a statue of him in the city one day. My favorite football player of all time.”

Furthermore, a fan commented on the pictures and said, “Beautiful. Happy anniversary.”

There were comments about how beautiful the Kelce family is: “Family perfection. Just listened to the latest podcast.”

Finally, there were fans wishing them a happy anniversary that said, “Happy Anniversary!! You look beautiful!!”

Fans were very kind with their wishes for the couple as they took to Instagram to celebrate 5 years of married bliss. There are surely only good things in store for the happy couple ahead of this monumental milestone. What did you think of the post shared by Kelce’s wife? Let us know in the comments below.

Fans and cameras flocked to Jason Kelce’s wife at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

Kylie Kelce oozes star quality — with a heavy dose of kindness — and that could not have been more evident than at the 2024 NCAA Women’s Final Four.

The 32-year-old mother of three hit up Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Friday in Cleveland, Ohio, where all cameras zeroed in on her upon her arrival. She was there to check out the South Carolina Gamecocks top the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the monster matchup between Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes and Geno Auriemma’s UConn Huskies, which some have said ended in controversy and the Hawkeyes advancing to the National Championship Game to face the Gamecocks.

Anyway, the NCAA Women’s March Madness’ verified Twitter account posted a slow-mo video of Kylie soaking up the atmosphere. Then there was ESPN’s PR honcho Amanda Brooks, who tweeted a photo with Kylie and shared a sweet message about their encounter.

“I very rarely ask celebs for photos but @callahankatie1 & I made an exception for Princess Kyana aka #KylieKelce at the #WFinalFour,” Brooks tweeted. “No surprise, but she was incredibly gracious and kind to a *long* line of fans and 2 PR gals from ESPN.”

 

 

 

 

Even Yahoo! Sports got in on the action, catching Kylie walking over to her courtside seat. Kylie’s become a sensation since her husband, Philadelphia Eagles great Jason Kelce, and his brother, Travis Kelce, were featured in their Prime Video docuseries, Kelce. It also helps that she’s always down to get down.

 

 

 

Like last month, when Kylie showed off her Irish dancing skills at a St. Patrick’s Day event in Media, Pennsylvania. She declared she had “no business’ showing off her moves, which went viral, but just about everyone disagreed with her analysis.

“I haven’t Irish danced since probably seventh grade, and that is with the exception of occasionally when impaired in college,” she joked on TikTok.

Kylie, who shares daughters, Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with Jason, also admitted in a January interview on Good Morning America feeling conflicted about fans’ newfound fascination with her life amid the highly publicized romance between her brother-in-law and pop star Taylor Swift.

“I almost feel a little guilty that people are so interested and invested in what I’m doing,” she shared. “I’m like, I am trying to scrape applesauce off the couch. You don’t — this is not fascinating. So it’s funny to me.”

 

Patrick Mahomes reacts and BLASTS Haters who abused him for spending Lavishly on daughter’s third birthday

“She’s my daughter, and I can do whatever I want for her.. GET A LIFE!!”

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes had another reason to celebrate over the weekend as the couple marked daughter Sterling Skye’s third birthday with an extravagant butterfly-themed ‘Tea for Three’ party at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

In video posted on Instagram, the reigning Super Bowl MVP’s eldest laughs and plays with other young children aboard a series of slides, Merry Go Rounds and an inflatable bounce house. Young Sterling is also seen sipping from a teacup, but it’s impossible to say if she was drinking Earl Grey, English breakfast, Darjeeling, or something a bit more age appropriate.

‘We celebrated our Sterling Skye today!’ Brittany wrote in her Sunday Instagram post. ‘I can’t even believe we will have a 3 year old in just a few days! Time flies when you’re having fun! We love you baby girl.’

Pricing the party is difficult without knowing the exact number of guests, but the a tea service at the Arboretum runs about $60 a head – and that’s without the accompanying birthday party festivities.

The Mahomes family returned to their native Dallas for the party following last week’s shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally, where one woman was killed and at least 22 were injured. Since then, all of the surviving victims have been released from the hospital. Two teenagers have been charged as minors in the shooting.

The couple visited shooting victims at the hospital prior to their release.

Patrick and Brittany met in high school, where she was a star soccer player and he excelled at football, basketball and, like his father Patrick Sr., baseball.

Ultimately Patrick Jr. opted to stick with football, and has since won three Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVP awards. He’s also a two-time NFL Most Valuable player and six-time Pro Bowl selection.

In addition to three-year-old Sterling Skye, the couple also has a son, Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III, who was born in November of 2022.

In addition to the recent festivities, the family has also endured another drunk-driving arrest by Patrick Sr. in recent weeks.

In the week before the Super Bowl, the former MLB relief pitcher was arrested in Smith County, Texas on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. It is at least his third arrest for allege drunk-driving, and could be facing a felony sentence of up to 10 years if he is convicted.

Patrick Jr. said his father was ‘doing good’ after his arrest, but declined to speak further.

‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ Mahomes said at Super Bowl opening night. ‘That’s all I have to say.

Brittany Mahomes was all smiles when her husband,

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sealed his victory at the 2023 Super Bowl.

In a video shared to her Instagram Story, Brittany is heard yelling, “He did it!” while running onto the field following the Chiefs’ 38-35 win against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Brittany also shared footage of Patrick holding up the Vince Lombardi Trophy during a ceremony after the win.

Another video shared on Brittany’s Instagram Story showed Patrick holding the couple’s young daughter, Sterling Skye, as confetti fell around them.

Sunday’s Super Bowl win is Patrick and the Chiefs’ second championship in four seasons.

Mahomes previously won in 2020, when he helped the Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LIV.

During a ceremony after the game, Mahomes was asked whether he believes the Chiefs are a “dynasty” now that he has earned his second Super Bowl title.

“I’m not gonna say dynasty yet,” Mahomes said. “We’re not done yet!”

The 27-year-old NFL star led the league in passing yards (5,250), passing touchdowns (41), offensive yards (5,614), and offensive TDs (45) during the season. He was also named the 2022 regular season MVP.

“No one truly sees the grind and the effort and how many hours you’re putting in around the clock, behind the scenes, day in and day out,” Brittany said in a video after Patrick earned the NFL MVP honor.

Patrick and Brittany welcomed Sterling Skye on Feb. 20, 2021, and son Bronze in November 2022.

Months after Sterling’s arrival, Patrick told PEOPLE that being a father has “been awesome” and that he was “blessed to have a really, really good first baby.”

“Brittany has helped out a ton being a champion mom, and so it’s been a lot of fun and to be able to come home every single day and see her and how energized she is and how she’s changing and growing already,” he said.

“I’m just trying to tell her to slow down,” he added, “so I can enjoy every minute of it.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce took a cross-country hop to spend Easter Sunday with Jason and Kylie and their family at their home in Pennsylvania.

 

And Swift took another step into the heart of the Kelce clan as, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal, Kelce’s adorable nieces, Bennie, 1, Elliotte, 3 and Wyatt, 4, were introduced to their Auntie Tay for the first time.

 

Kelce, also 34, and his Pennsylvania-born pop princess jetted in from Los Angeles Sunday morning for the flying visit to Jason’s home in the upscale enclave of Haverford Township just nine miles outside Philadelphia city center.

Exclusive images obtained by DailyMail.com show their car parked in the driveway of Jason’s charming stone home which has a wraparound deck and is set on an acre of landscaped gardens complete with large patio and swimming pool.

Kelce and Swift no doubt took part in the family’s annual Easter egg hunt – an Easter tradition that Swift has always enthusiastically embraced.

In 2015, then 25, Swift posted a 29-second video to her Instagram account in which she could be seen scrambling around her parents’ yard, fighting with younger brother Austin, 23, in a fierce bid to find more Easter eggs than him.

She posted it with the captioned: ‘When your parents arrange a competitive sibling Easter egg hunt failing to take into account that their children are Ross and Monica,’ a reference to the characters on Friends.

Kelce and Swift are believed to have stayed at the Four Seasons after enjoying the day with Jason and his family.

On previous visits, Swift has stayed at The Ritz Carlton and has been seen dining at the Four Season’s Jean-Georges restaurant.

They flew back to the west coast Monday morning landing at Burbank airport and deplaning amid a thicket of umbrellas around 1:30pm local time.

The couple has been all but inseparable since Swift returned to the States having completed the Australia and Asia legs of her monster Eras Tour last month and recently came back from a sun-filled vacation on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera.

Pictures showed the couple totally at ease and enjoying time together on the beach.

In one picture Kelce lay sunbathing, with one hand affectionately placed on Swift’s bikini-clad posterior. In others they enjoyed cocktails in the surf.

Swift’s next concert date isn’t until May 9, in Paris, and Kelce is expected to join his girlfriend for at least some of her European tour dates.

Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is currently enjoying some well-earned downtime following the team’s February Super Bowl win in Las Vegas.

Organized team activities don’t begin again until off-season workouts start at the end of May.

Kelce and Swift thrilled their legion of fans with cute Easter posts on their official fan pages on Sunday.

Kelce’s featured the grinning footballer wearing a bunny ears hat beneath the simple message ‘Happy Easter.’

He had perhaps learnt the lesson that simple is best after recently having to delete a 2010 Easter post in which Kelce, then an unknown playing for the University of Cincinnati, wrote, ‘happy Easter to all!!! #shoutout to Jesus for takin one for the team…haha.’

Meanwhile on Swift’s official fan page @taylornation, her management featured adorable footage of the singer, aged one, being held in her mother, Andrea’s arms while wearing a pink and white fuzzy bunny onesie complete with bunny ears. The silent clip shows a timestamp of March 14, 1990.

 

The recent NFL retiree showed off his wrestling skills when he and former teammate Lane Johnson jumped the ropes at the event in Philadelphia

Jason Kelce can now add “wrestler” to his ever-growing résumé.

On Saturday, April 6, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles player made a surprise appearance during Rey Mysterio and Andrade’s WrestleMania 40 match against Dominik Mysterio — Rey’s son — and Santos Escobar.

 

During the lively match, Rey and Andrade got some help from two mysterious masked luchadores, who jumped the ropes to join in the fight.

“Who the hell… look at the size of these guys!” one commentator said during the WWE broadcast.

“Those look like legends to me!” another answered.

 

One of the men ripped a metal folding chair out of Dominik’s hands, while the other masked man slammed him into the corner of the ring from the outside, and then tossed him into the center the ring. This lined up the perfect finish for Rey, who threw himself on top of Escobar to clinch the win.

After the announcer declared Rey and Andrade the winners, the two masked men revealed their identities — Kelce, 36, and 33-year old Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson.

WrestleMania 40 attendees could be seen going wild for Kelce and Johnson, especially because the two-night event is taking place at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, home of the Eagles.

Kelce — who was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft — recently announced his retirement during an emotional press conference on March 4.

“So this all brings us here to today, where I announce that I am retiring,” Kelce said through tears, nearly 40 minutes into his lengthy speech. “Where I announce I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and today, I must admit, I am officially overrated, vastly overrated.”

Kelce thanked his coaches, teammates and “cafeteria workers” along the way — too numerous to name, he said — in addition to his wife Kylie, mother Donna, father Ed and brother Travis.

Jason Kelce.

The Eagles alum is widely considered to be among the greatest centers in NFL history. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls, was named first-team All-Pro six times and won one Super Bowl title throughout his accomplished 13-season football career.

Since his retirement, Kelce has been having some fun with his free time. He recently threw out the first pitch at a Philadelphia Phillies game against the Atlanta Braves, and PEOPLE reported on March 27 that ESPN was even recruiting the athlete to become a talking head on the Monday Night Football panel.

The Athletic was first to report ESPN’s interest in Kelce. NBC, CBS and Amazon Prime are also trying to land Kelce, per the outlet.
