Jason Kelce made an interesting impression on now-wife Kylie Kelce’s parents when they were introduced.
“Jason first met my family at my aunt’s house in Northeast Philadelphia,” Kylie, 32, said in a Monday, January 20, clip of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “I extended an invitation to him because my family always has an open-door policy for whoever wants to come. I thought, for sure, that he would say no — and then he didn’t.”
She continued, “He ended up in an above-ground [swimming] pool in the front yard of my aunt’s house. He actually nailed that first impression.”
Kylie and Jason, 37, started dating in 2015 after matching on the dating app Tinder. Initially, Kylie was unaware that Jason played football for the Philadelphia Eagles until they met in person. (Jason retired in 2024 after 14 seasons with the Philly team.)
“My family thought he was a good time,” Kylie recalled. “He was very sweet and it eased my dad’s worries about the fact that I was dating a professional athlete because, you know, not a great reputation going on for them.”
Jason and Kylie dated for three years before he proposed outside of her parents’ house.

“It was a weekend at training camp, so I was fully convinced that we were not getting engaged for another year. … Once football starts, it’s football. There is nothing else,” Kylie previously said during a January episode of Allison Kuch’s “Sunday Sports Club” podcast, noting he popped the question after they left dinner with her folks.
She added, “We go outside, we get in the car, we’re ready to leave and Jason turns and is like, ‘I gotta run back in.’ And I said, ‘Really? This is the time you have to take a s—? … Hurry up.’”
Jason was actually asking for her parents’ blessing to propose, returning to Kylie less than five minutes later.
“I know my husband. That wasn’t enough time to take a s—,” she told Kuch, 30. “So he gets back in the car and I straight up said, ‘Go back in there and finish your business.’ The whole time, he’s just silent and fidgeting. He’s like, ‘I don’t need to take a s—.’”
Jason then told Kylie, “This isn’t the most romantic way to do this, but I need you to get out of the truck.”
At the mere reference of romance, Kylie instantly knew that Jason was about to get down on one knee.
“I blacked out. I have no idea what this man said to me,” Kylie explained earlier this month. “I’m pretty sure he asked me to marry him. I’m not 100 percent sure, but there was a ring involved and I put it on. … I did feel a little guilty about the fact that it was a whole conversation about taking a s— leading up to [it].”
Jason and Kylie wed in 2018, one year before welcoming daughter Wyatt. Daughters Ellie and Bennett followed in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Kylie confirmed late last year that she is pregnant with baby No. 4, another girl.
