Kylie Kelce has bled Philadelphia green long before falling in love with the now-retired Eagles center Jason Kelce.
“You may have heard a few stories about my intense fandom [Jason’s ‘New Heights’] podcast, but I thought the playoffs would be the perfect time to share with you all the things that happen while watching an Eagles game in my house,” Kylie, 32, said during the Thursday, Jan. 16 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “Before I say anything, note that I have a piece of wood to knock on in this segment – because that’s how superstitious I am.”
She added, “I can’t help but feel responsible when I say something that might be considered a curse [and so] if you hear knocking, it’s because you have to.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Kylie eventually hooked up with 37-year-old Jason on the dating app Tinder during her senior year of college. She later said she had no idea he played for the Eagles when she swiped right. After getting married in 2018, they welcomed three daughters.
Before Jason retired in 2024, Kylie attended every home game at ‘the Linc’ – also known as Lincoln Financial Field.
“Normally we wouldn’t take the girls [and] would normally keep them at home except for one competition a year,” continued Kylie, who is currently pregnant with baby No. 4. “They’re not really into it so there was no point in dragging them out there and putting them on a place that was loud and overstimulating. We made that decision a while ago.”
Since Jason’s retirement, Kylie has mainly watched the Eagles on the TV in their living room.
“I’m a ‘scream at the TV’ kind of guy,” she joked. “I recently had a lot of problems with it [my second daughter] Ellie because I yelled while the match was going on. … The girls usually hang out in the same room, but they don’t necessarily watch with me when I watch football.”
Kylie’s fandom reaches new heights when the Eagles find themselves in the playoffs. (The team played a divisional round match against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, January 19, and will compete for a spot in the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders later this month.)
“Playoff Kylie is different than regular season Kylie because the superstition takes over the entire day,” the pregnant mother of three added. “From the start of the day until the match starts, I don’t check Twitter [and] I will avoid most social media. I won’t post on game day – and that [started] when Jason was still playing – and still is now.”

As Kylie, 32, explained on the Thursday, December 12 episode of her podcast “Not Gonna Lie,” she’s using her online stalking powers for good. ‘We have […]
According to Kylie, she “needs to concentrate” and can’t even have a conversation that doesn’t revolve around the game.
“We have a job and that job is to hold and direct as much strength and energy as possible,” Kylie explained. “I’m not going to change my way of doing things, so as long as you do it with conviction. …Go birds!”
