In Tears of Gratitude: Jason Kelce Credits Wife Kylie for His Success, From Love at First Sight on a Drunken Night to Her ‘Loving Kicks’ on His Retirement Journey
Jason Kelce has paid an emotional tribute to his wife Kylie, during a 45-minute retirement speech that began with him bursting into tears upon reaching the stage.
The Philadelphia Eagles legend, 36, hailed coaches, friends, teammates and family, but saved his most heartfelt words for last as he spoke about his wife.
Opening up on the moment he met her, on a drunken night out in Philadelphia, he began: ‘I still remember the moment she walked through the door. The first instance is burned in my retina, it was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. And then she started talking and I thought, “man, is this what love feels like?”
‘She was beautiful, smart, serious, yet playful. I knew it right away. I think it’s no coincidence I have enjoyed the best years of my career with Kylie by my side. Every accolade I have ever received in my life has come with her in my life.
‘She has brought the best out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and of course a swift kick in the a** from time to time. She has also given me three beautiful girls in a life that increasingly brings me more fulfilment off the field than it does on. We’ve had a great run, Ky.’

Kylie herself was in an exclusive front row of the press conference, sitting alongside Jason’s mom and dad Donna and Ed, as well as brother Travis.
In the 45-minute media conference, the 36-year-old told the story of his football career, from playing at Cleveland Heights high school to the University of Cincinnati and then being drafted by the Eagles.
An emotional Kelce struggled to get his words out – regularly pausing for long periods and his voice breaking as he tried to hold back the tears.
Talking about his relationship with his younger brother, Kelce said: ‘This is where it’s gonna go off the rails.
‘I won’t forget falling short to the Chiefs and the conflicting feeling of the heartbreak I had selfishly for myself and my teammates and, at the same time, the amount of pride I had in my brother. He climbed the mountain top once again.

Jason read the speech from his phone and had to pause regularly to regain his composure
‘We have a small family. No cousins. One aunt and one uncle. It was really my brother and I our whole lives. We did almost everything together. Competing, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other.
‘We invented games, imagined ourselves as the star players of that time. We envisioned making the game winning plays, day after day. We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house. And when we weren’t playing, we were at the other one’s games.
‘Butt seated in a long chair or bench, a Capri Sun in our hands that mom had packed, cheering during the game and waiting outside and afterward to celebrate a victory together or offer encouragement after a defeat.
‘There is no chance I’d be here without the bond that Travis and I share. It had made me stronger, tougher, smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty and understanding.’

Jones claimed the playoff defeat to the Packers is not only McCarthy but to everyone associated with the franchise.
On Wednesday,Jerry Jones announced that Mike McCarthy will remain the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for the 2024 season. The Cowboys owner remains optimistic that McCarthy still has a lot to offer the franchise.
There is great benefit to continuing the team’s progress under Mike’s leadership as our head coach.
Jones said yesterday
Despite the overwhelming outcry to see the back of McCarthy after crashing out in the wild card stage once again.
The Green Bay Packers came to AT&T Stadium and made a mockery of the Cowboys‘ impressive home win run of 16 games. McCarthy’s former team scored 48 points, the most by any NFL team in the 2023 season, in a game they were favorites to lose.
It meant Dallas’ search for a Super Bowl was postponed for another year. But their veteran owner didn’t put the blame solely on the head coach. To the 81-year-old’s eyes, everyone, including himself, had a part in the Packers’ defeat.
Our loss on Sunday is shared by everyone here, not just Coach McCarthy, players [Dak Prescott]. Our coaches [Dan Quinn] and front office. Myself. There is accountability for our results. I am accountable for our results.
But that doesn’t mean fans who wanted McCarthy fired would positively welcome the news. More so after the other Texan franchise made it past the first round of playoff qualifiers.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
The reason behind Jerry Jones keeping Mike McCarthy as the Dallas Cowboys head coach
Consistency is the key in football. Jones initially hired McCarthy because of his pedigree as a Super Bowl-winning head coach with the Packers.
A championship, which he won at Arlington in 2011. Since his appointment, the 60-year-old has led Dallas to three consecutive 12-5 finishes, winning the NFC East twice.
Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones (Image via Bleacher Report) He took over the offensive playcalling from Kellen Moore, who departed for LA and unleashed Dak Prescott. The Cowboys quarterback finished the 2023 regular season as the passing touchdown leader with 36 and only threw nine interceptions, forcing his name to be in the mix for MVP.
There are many layers of success that have occurred this season as a result of Mike’s approach to leading the team, both with individual players and with our team collectively.
Jones saidEventually, everything fell apart in the Packers game, where Prescott threw two first-half pick-6s. Despite the game being a playoff game, it was still one game that didn’t erase their regular-season dominance. Jerry Jones is aware of that.
While we’re all disappointed with the result on Sunday and with our playoff record, I am 100 percent supportive of him as our head coach and his ability to reach our goals.
He further addedMike McCarthy will remain with the Cowboys for at least one season, or until Jones changes his heart. While that’s sorted, the next item on his to-do list would be whether to give Prescott a raise or move on from him, even though he has had high praise for the two-time Pro Bowler in the recent past.
