Pregnant Kylie Kelce confirms Her 2025 Super Bowl Pick
Kylie Kelce is loyal to her team.
As the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs prepare for Feb. 9 Super Bowl, Kylie—who has been married to Jason Kelce since 2018—shared insight into who she’ll be rooting for as brother-in-law Travis Kelce faces off against her favorite NFL team.
“Obviously this time when the Eagles play the Chiefs, it is a little bit different because my husband is retired from the Eagles,” she explained on the Jan. 30 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, referring to the 2023 Super Bowl when the Kelce brothers faced off—and she was firmly Team Green. “That being said, I’m so happy and proud of Travis and the Chiefs accomplishments.”
Kylie, who grew up just outside of Philadelphia, went on to detail her conflicted feelings toward the Eagles playing against the Chiefs with Travis as one of the team’s star players—especially as they look to achieve a historic three-peat.
“Travis has been there for his entire career,” she noted. “He has worked so hard and put in so much time that I truly am, as always, cheering Travis on. I love him, he’s my family. So I will always cheer on Travis’ accomplishments and hopefully successes. That being said, I was raised to bleed green.”
Ultimately, though, the 32-year-old—who shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 23 months, as well as a fourth baby girl on the way with Jason—can’t really put her full allegiance to either team.
“The plan is to go to the game and to cheer,” Kylie said. “I will add on—any other week when I see Chiefs fans, I will tell them ‘Go Chiefs.’ I will not be saying that for the next two weeks. I just can’t bring myself to do it. This is hard, I don’t like this. It’s very exciting, but I’m mad about it.”

For Jason’s part, he already pledged his allegiance to the team he spent his entire NFL career playing for, saying in a March episode of New Heights provided with any hypothetical Chiefs/Eagles match-up, “I will root for the Eagles, of course.”
But the former Eagles center still showed some affection for his younger brother, adding, “I’ll also root for Travis to have a good game.”
As for whether Jason and Kylie will be dressing their daughters in Eagles gear come Feb. 9? Kylie isn’t bringing her kids into their family conflict.
“We have made moves to get the girls ‘Go Uncle Trav’ shirts,” she admitted. “They love their uncle and of course they love cheering him on. To be fair, they love cheering on the Birds too. But he is our family.”
And while Jason and Kylie may have to be a slight part of Chiefs Kingdom for one night, the couple’s love for the Eagles is certainly strong—even somewhat inspiring their love story. For how, keep reading…

2014
Jason Kelce doesn’t want you to know he met his wife Kylie Kelce on a dating app. Too bad she wasn’t afraid to reveal how their relationship began in the Prime Video Kelce documentary.
“Jason won’t let me lie about this,” Kylie shared. “We met on Tinder.”
When Kylie first encountered Jason’s profile, she didn’t recognize the Philadelphia Eagles center, explaining, “None of his pictures showed Eagles football.”
However, after she and her friends thought he looked “kind of familiar,” they did what millennial women do best: A Google image search. And when Kylie put a name to the face, she was confident she was being played.
“It can’t be him,” she remembered thinking, “it’s a catfish.”
Still, she took a chance. And in 2015, she shared the first photo of the couple on Instagram, writing, “Thank goodness you swiped right too.”

While Jason and Kylie ultimately hit it off, their first date didn’t go according to the game plan.
“You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk,” Kylie revealed on Jason’s New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce.
Though he was admittedly “inebriated,” Jason said, “I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight.”
Still, Kylie admitted it took her awhile to fully commit to the idea of being in a relationship with a professional athlete.
“I didn’t tell anyone who I was dating,” she explained. “The last thing I wanted was to be like, ‘I think I’m falling for this guy and then have him be like, ‘Oh, I have six other girls waiting,’ which is the stereotype of a football player.”
However, in hindsight, Kylie admitted. “It’s entertaining that there was any hesitation at all.”
“Our dynamic made it so not that I was in a relationship with a professional athlete,” she continued, “it was very much that I was in a relationship wth Jason whose profession was football.”

She said yes! But only after putting up with some of Jason’s B.S.
During a September 2023 episode of the New Heights podcast, the couple shared their engagement story, which Jason prefaced by admitting he is not a “romantic” person.
The NFL star proposed to Kylie in his car while they were leaving her parents’ house.
“I couldn’t figure out how to inconspicuously go back into the house,” he explained, “because if I was like, ‘Hey I gotta go talk to you dad for a second,’ it would have been very odd of me to say that.”
Instead, Jason went with, um, option No. 2: “When we got in the car, I said, ‘Ky, I’m sorry but I gotta take a s–t.'”
However, Kylie immediately knew Jason was up to something when he returned minutes later. “He came back out and I said, ‘Jason, I know you didn’t just go in there and take a s–t, it usually takes you 20 minutes.'”
Jason then cut the bulls–t and got down to business.
“He said, ‘This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,'” Kylie recalled, “and I immediately started crying because I knew what was happening only because he referenced being romantic.”

April 2018
Two months after winning his first Super Bowl, Jason added an even more special ring to his collection when he and Kylie tied the knot in Philadelphia.
To celebrate their first anniversary, Kylie shared some throwback pictures from their wedding day.
“One year ago today we stood in front of our closest friends and family and vowed our love and commitment to each other,” she wrote. “I am so beyond grateful that I get to share my life with this man.”

October 2019
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce, on Oct. 2. And to celebrate Wyatt’s first birthday, Kylie shared several photos from the delivery room on Instagram.
“One year ago this little bug was snuggled up on my chest for her first night out in the world. I will never get tired of your cuddles, Wy,” she wrote. “Also, swipe to see what is truly one of my favorite photos in my phone. Mid-push, veins popping out of my head, and the biggest cheesin grin on Jason’s face. Minutes later, we were parents.”

The Kelces welcomed their second child, daughter Elliotte Rya Kelce, into the world on March 4.
Kylie shared a sweet video of Elliotte to celebrate her six-month birthday, writing, “Full of smiles, laughs, and sweetness.”
And, for her first post of 2022, Kylie captioned a photo of Elliotte, “Best thing to come out of 2021.”

February 2023
When Jason and Travis faced off against one another at the 2023 Super Bowl, Kylie had a very special guest attending the game with her.
“Kylie’s bringing her OB because she’s going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game,” Jason said on the podcast. “That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it’s officially scripted!”
Travis joked, “We’re in The Matrix, there’s no f–king way.”

February 2023
While Uncle Trav may have won the Kelce Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles, Jason received an even sweeter prize two weeks later when he and Kylie welcomed their third daughter.
“Yesterday little lady #3 joined us,” the couple shared on Instagram. “Bennett Llewellyn Kelce 8lbs. 5oz. and 21inches long.”
Their daughter was named in honor of Jason’s grandmother through Bennett’s middle name, Llewellyn.
“It’s Grandma Mary’s maiden name,” Jason shared on New Heights. “I wanted to honor Grandma Mary, who is now resting in peace. She had a good run.”

August 2023
Kylie and all three daughters visited Jason at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, with the couple sharing pics in a joint Instagram post.
“Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice,” the caption read.
Jason’s dad skills were on full display in the Kelce documentary on Prime Video, in which Kylie shared her honest thoughts on Jason’s retirement.
“I always tell people that no matter what happens with football, how it ends,” she said, “I would like him to retire when he’s still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably.”

September 2024
There’s no doubt Jason has been getting down since officially announcing his retirement in March 2024, enjoying trips to the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Cannes Lions festival and several stops of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, including one in London where they met Prince William, along with his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
And there’s no doubt he’s having a royally good time in his new gig as an ESPN commentator.
“Training camp looked a little different this year,” Kylie shared in a Sept. 14 Instagram. “Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!”
However, she added, “Maybe try not to say t-ts this week?”
And Jason was ready to have another tiny cheerleader.
“We’re rotating through clothes we bought for our first daughter now to our youngest, so we have gone through a lot of hand-me-downs,” Kylie told New York Magazine’s The Strategist in June 2024. “The Hanna Anderson PJs last forever. We still have some packed up, just in case there ends up being a fourth.”
November 2024
The Kelces shared that they’re expecting their fourth baby!
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie wrote on Instagram. “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!”
