Who Is Kylie Kelce? 5 Things to Know About Philadelphia Eagles Player Jason Kelce’s Wife
Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce is a Super Bowl champion — but the life he's built with wife Kylie Kelce is his greatest achievement.
"We're the most important thing in both of our lives,” Jason said of his wife in his 2023 Prime Video documentary, Kelce. “Everything else takes a back seat.”
Jason and Kylie met via Tinder before making their relationship Instagram official in 2015. "Thank goodness you swiped right,” Kylie wrote via Instagram at the time. The pair tied the knot three years later after Jason’s grand proposal didn’t go quite as planned.
During a September 2023 episode of Jason and brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Kylie recalled Jason awkwardly telling her he had to go inside her parent's house to “use the bathroom” so he could get her father’s blessing before getting down on one knee.

"Let's be abundantly clear. When he asked me to marry him, he got back in the truck and said, ‘This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,’” Kylie shared. “I immediately started crying because I knew what was happening only because he referenced being romantic.”
The duo went on to wed in 2018 and welcomed their three daughters Wyatt, Elliott and Bennett in October 2019, March 2021, and February 2023, respectively. Since becoming an NFL wife, Kylie has constantly shown up to support her husband.
In 2023, Jason faced off against Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona. Despite being 38 weeks pregnant with their third child at the time, Kylie made sure she was there to cheer him on in the stands — and even brought her OB-GYN along with her.
