Kylie Kelce opens up on her first “I Love You” and the early days of their romance
“Who said I love you first? It was definitely me,” Kylie revealed, answering a fan’s question about the earliest emotional milestone in her relationship with Jason Kelce. Her honest and playful way of speaking shows how she connects with fans while still keeping some personal moments private.Kylie and Jason first connected on Tinder in 2015, long before Super Bowl appearances and national attention became part of their lives. Their first date was far from picture-perfect, meeting at a bar, Jason famously fell asleep just 45 minutes in after drinking too much. Yet even with the awkward start, he later admitted he was “sober enough to know” Kylie was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.Kylie gave Jason a second chance, and their next date went much better. By April 2018, they got married in Philadelphia with friends, family, and their dog, Winnie. Now, they have four daughters—Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finn—and try to balance their public lives with family time.As Jason played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Kylie adjusted to being in the spotlight while raising their kids, coaching field hockey, doing charity work, and running her podcast. After Jason retired in March 2024, he focused on media work, and Kylie continued building her podcast and community initiatives.Through all the highs and changes, the Kelces remain grounded. Kylie often reflects, “How crazy is it that our kids get these opportunities? How lucky are we that we get to do these things together?” Their story is about love, resilience, and navigating life together.
