Real-life Kylie Kelce is just like her fans imagined her to be.
The Philadelphia native, who is married to former Eagles player Jason Kelce, got to meet some of her adoring fans while attending the 2024 NCAA Women’s Final Four game between Iowa and UConn on Friday, April 5—and apparently, Kylie was just as nice as fans expected.
One fan named of Amanda Brooks took to X (formerly Twitter) after Friday night’s semi-finals game to show off the pic she and her colleague Katie got to snap alongside Kylie, 31.
Amanda, who does PR for ESPN, shared the pic while giving her honest opinion about meeting Kylie in real life, and she had nothing but good things to say.
“No surprise, but she was incredibly gracious and kind to a *long* line of fans and 2 PR gals from ESPN,” Amanda wrote alongside the smiling snap.
In her post, Amanda also referred to Kylie by her nickname “Princess Kyana,” a nickname bestowed upon Kylie about Princess Diana.
“I very rarely ask celebs for photos but @callahankatie1 & I made an exception for Princess Kyana aka #KylieKelce at the #WFinalFour,” Amanda wrote in her post.
Kylie was first affectionately dubbed “Princess Kyana” by none other than her brother-in-law Travis Kelce, as he highlighted a connection between the women during a November 2023 episode of their New Heights podcast.
At the time, Jason explained the story behind a Kelly green Philadelphia Eagles jacket put up for a charity auction by the Eagles Autism Foundation. The jacket—signed by his wife—was a replica inspired by the Eagles jacket that Princess Diana wore in 1991. (The jacket earned $100,000 for the cause after it sold to a bidder in November.)
“The Eagles Autism Foundation is auctioning off this jacket that was inspired by Princess Diana, and they decided to use none other than Kylie Kelce to model it this year,” Jason said. Meanwhile, Travis chimed in by exclaiming, “Princess Kylie!”
“Princess Kyana,” Travis then proclaimed.
The nickname now seems to have caught on, which is fitting for Kylie, as she often dedicates time to charity work while oozing charm during her public appearances, much like the People’s Princess always did.
