KYLIE Kelce is the charity worker wife of NFL superstar Jason Kelce.
She made headlines when there were reports of a rift between Kylie and global pop icon Taylor Swift, who is dating her husband’s brother Travis Kelce.
Day-to-day Kylie raises her children with her now-retired husband, in Philadelphia.
But the former hockey player has a slew of celebrity pals.
Friends in high places
Born on December 8, 1992, Kylie McDevitt attended Lower Merion High School – the late Kobe Bryant’s alma mater – and then Cabrini University, where she played field hockey.
She graduated in 2017 with a degree in communications.
Kylie was a keen sports enthusiast, just like Jason, while she was at university.
At Cabrini, she was named Rookie of the Year in the Colonial States Athletic Conference and was selected to the all-conference first team twice.
She was also part of Eastern College Athletic Conference South All-Stars First Team.
Now, Kylie is friends with global megastar Taylor Swift, who is dating Jason’s brother Travis.
Taylor has been dating Jason’s brother since September 2023, in one of the most high profile relationships in pop.
However, in January 2024, there were rumors of Taylor and Travis’ relationship causing a rift in the family.
A source told Life & Style that “Taylor hasn’t had the best reception from Jason and his wife.”
Tinder disaster
The couple infamously met on Tinder, as explored on Jason‘s Prime Video documentary Kelce.
Kylie admitted that she did not know that the person she matched with on the dating site was an NFL star.
She said: “None of his pictures showed Eagles football.”
The first date did not go according to plan at all.
Kylie admitted: “Forty-five minutes later, he fell asleep at the bar, like just, out, like asleep, asleep.
“The next day, he called and was like, can we try that again?”
Tying the knot
The couple went Instagram official in November 2015 and were married in April 2018.
During an episode of New Heights, Kylie revealed a hilarious story about how the NFL star proposed to her.
She said Jason faked using the bathroom to run back into her parents house to ask for their permission to marry her.
According to Kylie, the two were in the car preparing to leave at her parents’ house when Jason put his master plan into action.
Mother of three
The happy couple now have three daughters.
Eldest Wyatt, was born on October 2, 2019, with Elliotte adding to their number on March 4, 2021.
Youngest Bennett arrived on February 23, 2023.
Jason and Kylie have shared snaps of their family playroom on their social media, which features Philadelphia Eagles memorabilia and lots of the family’s favourite colour – green.
The family are very close, with Kylie saying that she and her husband always put their daughters first.
She said: “Jason is emotionally, mentally present for his girls and I think that’s so important.”
“Family is everything. It’s who you come home to, it’s home.”
“My hope for the three girls is that they get along for the most part and that they recognise that family is everything. It’s who you come home to, it’s home.”
Charity work
The Kelces are heavily involved in charity work, with Jason even establishing his own foundation in 2022.
(Be)Philly is a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of his home city Philadelphia.
Kylie is an active charity worker and has regularly helped raise money for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
As much as Kylie does not relish the limelight, she understands that Jason can utilise it to benefit others.
Kylie said: “It’s not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of the camera.
“I’m a stands girl..
“I love sitting in the stands, cheering with the fans, even if it’s in an opposing team stadium.”
