Courtesy of Kylie Kelce/InstagramIt wasn’t really love at first sight. Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce.
“[My friends and I] “I was just messing around, so I swiped right,” Kylie, 32, said of discovering her now-husband’s Tinder account during the Sunday, Jan. 12, episode of “Sunday Sports Club “. podcast. “We matched [and] I sent him a pickup line. I said, “I need LifeAlert.” I’ve fallen in love with you and I can’t get back up.’
Jason, 37, apparently wasn’t a fan of Kylie’s first sentence.
“He answered and said, ‘No, you need to try harder,'” Kylie reminded of another NFL wife Allison Kuch. “Then I sent a message: ‘If I told you I work for UPS. Would you let me handle your package? He said to me: ‘Much better.’ I prefer this one. …And here we are, almost four children later.
Jason Kelce swiped right and found love with Kylie Kelce — even though their first date got off to a rocky start. “[I] I definitely fell asleep,” the former Philadelphia Eagles athlete recalled on his “New Heights” podcast in September 2023. “I was a little too drunk, but I was sober enough to know it was the […]
Matching Jason and Kylie on the dating app in 2015 early in his tenure as center with the Philadelphia Eagles. At the time, Kylie was a student at Cabrini University but never realized the extent of Jason’s professional soccer career until meeting her in person. (He retired in 2024 after 14 seasons playing for the Philadelphia team.)
« Her profile bio on Tinder [said] that he wanted to cuddle and have intimate conversations about having babies and it was sarcastic but ended up being very ironic,” Kylie joked. “But then we kept messaging and it was like playful, getting to know you [conversations] and after a while, I kept thinking that his photos looked familiar.
Kylie and her friends had tried to search for Jason online using ‘all the information’ [they] had,” which led them straight to the Eagles.
“My friends and I, of course, we were like, ‘It’s a catfish,'” the “Not Gonna Lie” podcast host recalls. “So when he said to me, ‘You should meet us at this bar,’ my only friend who is like my ride or die friend… she said to me, ‘We have to go because if it ‘it’s him, it’s hilarious’ [and] if it’s not him, it’s even funnier.
Jason Kelce swiped right to find love with his now-wife, Kylie Kelce, but their first date was anything but smooth sailing. “It was pretty obvious the second time we hung out [that this was going somewhere]” Kylie, 31, said during the Wednesday, September 6, episode of her husband’s “New Heights” podcast. When Jason, 35, asked why […]
Kylie met Jason at a local bar in Philly hours after his team’s holiday party. As it has already been mentioned about him and his brother Travis KelceSeveral times during the “New Heights” podcast, he fell asleep on top of the bar within 45 minutes. His teammate at the time Beau-Allen was enlisted to “carry a fireman” him at home.
Jason finally apologized to Kylie for his drunkennessasking for a second chance at a first impression which, in the end, went much more smoothly. According to Kylie, they spoke seamlessly for three hours — and continued talking on subsequent dates.
“The year I was RA [at Cabrini] …he would come to campus and, like, stay in my dorm more than once,” Kylie remembers. “Two days later, people in class were saying, ‘Oh, so-and-so was talking about how they walked until 8 a.m. and [saw] Jason Kelce walks across campus to his truck. I was like, “This man must really love me, because otherwise why the hell would he be here?” [campus].’”
Jason and Kylie finally tied the knot in 2018, a year before welcoming their daughter Wyatt. Daughters Ellie and Bennett followed in 2021 and 2023 respectively, and they are currently waiting another little girl in 2025.
