Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce, has reacted to the love and support shown to the former Philadelphia Eagles center in the wake of his latest career decision.
The 36-year-old announced his retirement in an emotional press conference on Monday and was hardly able to hold back the tears as he explained that he was walking away from a game he played at the highest level for 13 years. He also took some time to speak about his relationship with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and their strong bond.
Philadelphia has responded by showing Jason as much love as they gave him when he starred for them on the field, and his wife has taken notice.
“The outpouring of love and support is…expected, because I know who my husband is and the way he’s conducted himself and how that has touched the lives of people. But at the same time, it’s still shocking,” she told NBC Sports Philadelphia. “I don’t want to say excessive because it has a negative connotation, but it’s an excessive amount. I have not been on social media very much over the last 24 hours for that exact reason. Mostly because I don’t want my mascara to run anymore. Every time something happens, it sets me off.
“Some people struggle to play in this city. They can’t handle the boos, the media, or our fans. I consider it a blessing to play in the most passionate sports town in America,” Kelce said on Monday. “The sense of urgency in this city to win has pushed our organization, has fueled it to take chances, fix problems and work tirelessly in an effort to win. At times, you hate it as an athlete, especially those new in our city. But when you’ve been through it enough, you know how to appreciate it.”

A sixth-round draft pick in 2011, Kelce developed into one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles while collecting six First-Team All-Pro selections and seven Pro Bowl honors.
He’s now set for the Hall of Fame and will be eligible for induction in 2029.
