Kylie Kelce was the latest public figure to congratulate her husband Jason on the conclusion of his 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

‘Pulling this one out of the archives to congratulate this guy on his retirement,’ Kylie said on Instagram, accompanying a snapshot of the couple from his Super Bowl LIII triumph over the New England Patriots in February 2018. 

‘Your award-winning 13-year career is the direct result of your dedication, determination, and perseverance. I am extremely proud to be your wife, and I can’t wait to watch what you do next.

‘As always, the daughters and I will support you every step of the way!’

Jason just said a sorrowful goodbye to the NFL after 13 seasons with the Eagles, despite the fact that, as Kylie recently revealed, he had been thinking about retiring for four years.

‘I’ve heard several versions over the previous four years,’ Kylie told Philadelphia’s NBC 10 of her husband’s emotional retirement speech. 

‘This was an entirely different version. I believe he started from scratch each year in terms of what was on the surface. However, when he stated that he was considering retirement “for years,” he meant “for years.”

‘I believe I was the only one who had heard his speech prior to our discussion,’ Kylie added. ‘I believe that was a fantastic recap of 13 years. I always say he’s not from (Philadelphia), but he gets it, so that was an excellent illustration.

Jason did add it’s no coincidence that the best years of his career came after he met Kylie at an Eagles Christmas party.

‘Of course, it made me emotional, and it cracks me up that he attempts to talk about what he remembers from that night since, as I’ve previously stated, he was intoxicated,’ Kylie said of the night she and Jason met. 

‘It was incredibly lovely and quite kind. It was way too much credit.

Jason and Kylie met after they matched on the dating app Tinder. Jason passed asleep at the bar less than an hour into their first meeting.

Things improved from there, and the couple now has three kids.

‘The outpouring of love and support is expected because I know who my husband is, how he conducts himself, and how that has affected the lives of others,’ Kylie added. “But at the same time, it is still shocking.”
