Who is Travis Kelce’s sister-in-law Kylie? Fellow NFL player Jason Kelce’s wife met him on Tinder and prefers to watch his games from the stands – but what has she said about Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift has been photographed on numerous occasions watching her NFL beau Travis Kelce play from the comfort of the stadium suites. But while the pop superstar often shares the room with Travis’ mum Donna and father Ed, not every Kelce family member has been soaking up the family’s new-found fame.
Travis Kelce’s sister-in-law Kylie, the wife of his brother Jason, doesn’t appear to be about the suite life, as she told Spectrum News in Kansas City ahead of the upcoming game between her husband’s team (the Eagles) and Travis’ team (the Chiefs) at Arrowhead Stadium.
“I will be in the stands [Monday], I’m a stands girl,” she said, “I love sitting in the stands, cheering with the fans, even if it’s in an opposing team stadium.”
“It’s not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of the camera. I was a communication major in college, I love to be behind it. That’s my bread and butter,” said Kylie, who was hosting a kids’ field hockey session for kids in Kansas City while being interviewed.
“But at the end of the day, if it creates opportunities like this and I can leverage my network and figure out how to impact a community that has been so, so kind to the Kelce family, I am so happy to give back to Kansas City in any way.”
The Kelces are the first family of American football and Jason’s wife is royalty among the Eagles faithful. They have three daughters – Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett.
Here’s what you need to know about Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie:
Who is Jason Kelce?
Jason Kelce is the long-time starting centre for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The team selected Jason in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and he’s been representing the City of Brotherly Love ever since. He’s played in six Pro Bowls during his 13 seasons in the NFL, and he helped the Eagles to glory in Super Bowl LII.
By all accounts, Jason was the star of the family and an older brother Travis always aspired to be like. Even now, as a future NFL Hall of Famer, Travis is trying to follow in his big bro’s footsteps.
Travis grew up as a quintessential younger sibling, desperately trying to “catch up” to his big brother.
“He was always just second, just searching to be the best, and never quite getting there,” their mum Donna, told The Wall Street Journal earlier this month.
Why is Jason Kelce’s wife famous?
Jason Kelce is married to Philadelphia-born Kylie McDevitt. She went viral earlier this year when she brought her gynaecologist with her to the Super Bowl when she was 38 weeks pregnant, as per People.
How did Kylie McDevitt meet Jason Kelce?
Jason met his wife, Kylie, in 2015, when the pair swiped right on one another on Tinder.
At the time, she played hockey at Cabrini University in Radnor and was majoring in communications, per Good Housekeeping.
What does Kylie Kelce do for a living?
According to KMBC, Jason Kelce’s wife Kylie played field hockey at university and she is now head coach at a school just outside Philadelphia.
She is also a busy mum of three. The couple tied the knot in 2018, and as of 2023, they have three daughters together. Their eldest, Wyatt, was born in 2019, while middle daughter Elliotte arrived in 2021. The youngest, Bennett, made her entrance into the world just days after her dad and uncle faced off in the Super Bowl earlier this year.
Jason and Kylie also have a pair of Irish wolfhounds – known as the tallest dog breed on Earth – named Winnie and Baloo, per WKYC.
Does Travis Kelce have kids?
Travis doesn’t have a family of his own yet, but he has two dogs – and a megawatt relationship.
Though Travis is a few steps behind Jason when it comes to a wife and kids, he followed his big brother’s path as a dog owner. He has two pups – a Goldendoodle named Rambo and a Pomeranian-husky mix named Chauncey – according to US Magazine.
