Jason and his wife kylie will be expanding their family to six.

NFL star Jason Kelce has known since he was a young child that he wanted to be a father.

 

In a post-practice interview from 2019, the Philadelphia Eagles center recounted a story his own dad told him before he and his wife Kylie Kelce welcomed their first child.

“I was reminded by my dad of a story when my brother was born. My brother [Travis Kelce] was [born] two years after I was … I was in the waiting room and stuff like that, and one of the nurses came up [and asked me,] ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and I said, ‘Oh, I want to be a dad.’ So it’s kind of come full circle,” Kelce said at the time.

Today, the pro football player and his wife Kylie McDevitt Kelce are parents to three kids, all under the age of 5.

Jason and Kylie Kelce married in 2018 after meeting through the dating app Tinder, according to an episode of Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. In the caption of a photo posted to her Instagram account in November 2015, not long after the couple began dating, Kylie Kelce wrote, “Thank goodness you swiped right too.”

Kylie Kelce was born in the Philadelphia Main Line suburb of Narberth, Pennsylvania, and studied communications in college. She played field hockey in school, and has expressed a continued love of the sport on her Instagram page.

, Wyatt is the oldest of the Kelce kids. Jason Kelce said in episode 52 of his “New Heights” podcast that he thinks he and Wyatt have a lot in common, including their physical features and their personalities.

“She’s got my brows. She’s got my furrow. Her facial features are very similar,” the father of three said.

“She’s very emotional. She is happy, mad, sad, all of it,” he added.

When Jason Kelce returned to work, he revealed in a post-practice interview that at first, Wyatt could have been named Charlotte.

“My wife and I, we were thinking before we knew the sex, it was gonna be Wyatt for a boy and call her Charlotte for a girl,” Jason Kelce said. “And a couple of our friends took that, so we were kind of trying to think of what we were going to name a girl if it was a girl, and then we both settled on — we kind of liked the way Wyatt sounded regardless, so that’s kind of how that went.”

Two-year-old Elliotte, or Ellie, is Jason and Kylie Kelce’s second child.

Bennett, also known as Benny, is the third and youngest child of the Kelce brood, at just 10 months old.
