There were a lot of points touched on in Jason Kelce’s retirement announcement, from the very beginning of his career to now. But one of the most heartwarming parts of his speech was when he talked about his relationship with his wife, Kylie Kelce.
During his speech, Jason took the time to honor his loving wife. “I won’t forget the Eagles Christmas party in 2014 and heading out afterwards with a bunch of my teammates to Buffalo Billiards where my life would change forever,” he said (via People). “That night, I’d meet my future wife.” Jason got teary-eyed as he recalled the night that he met Kylie. “I still remember the moment she walked through the door. The first instance is burned in my retina. It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her.”
From the moment he spoke to her, the Philadelphia star knew “right away” that she was the one for him. Jason even credited Kylie for taking part in the best years of his career. The story of their first meeting had its ups and downs, as Kylie once revealed on the “New Heights” podcast that the football star got super drunk after matching on Tinder. However, in his retirement speech, Jason chose to remember the more sentimental moments of their first date, as Kylie had become the one thing that truly changed his life forever.
