NFL player Jason Kelce recently revealed that while he often rides to games with a teammate, wife Kylie Kelce drives herself to the stadium.
Jason, 35, and his Philadelphia Eagles teammate Landon Dickerson arrived at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Oct. 22 in a “sick” vintage Mustang, while Kylie Kelce found her own way to the game.
“Landon drives me to the game quite frequently,” Jason told younger brother Travis Kelce on their “New Heights” podcast on Oct. 25, adding that Kylie, 31, often “drives herself” to home games.
“Then we drive back home together after the game,” Jason Kelce said. “Normally we’re in [Landon’s] truck.”
In an Instagram Story shared a couple of days after she attended the team’s Oct. 22 game against the Miami Dolphins, she revealed that she sat beside her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, who “came through with the game day [snacks].”
Jason and Kylie Kelce have been married since 2018, and share three children together. They recently appeared in the Amazon Prime Video documentary “Kelce,” which followed their lives at home during preparations for Super Bowl LVII. Kylie was 38 weeks pregnant with their third child at the time, and the documentary reveals she brought her doctor to the championship game in case she went into labor.
While the pair was promoting the film earlier this month, Kylie shared details about her unique lifestyle as the wife of a professional football player.
“I think there is a population of women who are married to, dating, engaged to individuals who play in the NFL or other professional sports that really, like, enjoy indulging in the finer things in life and that’s not necessarily how I was raised or what I enjoy,” she said on the “Today” show in a joint interview with Jason. “So I think that staying authentic to that [is important].”
The spotlight has stayed on the Kelce family as Jason’s younger brother and fellow NFL player Travis, 34, embarks on a romance with pop star Taylor Swift.
The 33-year-old Grammy winner has attended four Kansas City Chiefs games since September, supporting Travis and his team from a private suite in the stadium. Although Swift has bonded with parents Donna and Ed Kelce in the family suite, it’s unlikely she’ll be sitting with Kylie when the Eagles take on the Chiefs in November.

“I think that Kylie’s going to have seats right down where the actual team is,” Donna Kelce predicted on the “Got It From My Mama” podcast on Oct. 6. “So, she’ll probably be right behind the team and I would imagine she’ll have some of the other moms with her.”
Donna Kelce said she wouldn’t “blame her [if] she wouldn’t want to be in the suite.”
“I don’t think she’s gonna be bringing the kids, but everybody [who] is rooting for Kansas City will be up in the suites,” she said.
Kylie recently convinced Jason to join her and Travis for the first game of the 2023 NLCS playoffs to cheer for the Philadelphia Phillies — just a day after the Eagles lost to the New York Jets.
“There are few things better than going to the ballpark and watching a game live,” Jason Kelce said on the Oct. 18 episode of the “New Heights.” “Red October in Philly is a different atmosphere, man,” he said.
Travis credited Kylie with getting his brother out of the house after the tough loss. “I could tell she was, like, the final [say]. Like, ‘Maybe if Kylie wants to go, I’ll go’,” Travis said.
Appearing last week on “The NFL Report” with Steve Wyche and James Palmer,” Jason Kelce hinted that this might be his last season in the NFL.
“I think it is a lot, and I think the way we’ve justified it as a family is this is going to be over pretty soon here” Kelce said. “If it’s this year, which it very well could be, we want to make sure that we’re ready to go when football’s done.”
Kelce talked about the success of the podcast, and other opportunities that have arisen, like the Christmas album “A Philly Special Christmas.”
“When these opportunities [the Christmas album] come up, you realize that the closer you are to the end of your career the opportunities to do these fun and engaging things with fans and friends is gonna be less and less and you realize that and it makes you want to do them that much more because when you’re done it’s not gonna be there as much,” Kelce said.
