Jason Kelce Calls Wife Kylie His ‘Favorite Teammate,’ Gushes Over Her Patience and Selflessness

In a heartwarming moment at Rowan University on Tuesday, April 21, Jason Kelce, 38, opened up about the most important person in his life — his wife, Kylie Kelce. During a panel discussion, Jason was asked who his “favorite teammate” is, and without hesitation, he gave an answer that surprised no one: Kylie.

“I have by far learned more from her than anybody else,” Jason said, praising his wife for teaching him invaluable life lessons. “She’s taught me patience and virtues and selflessness,” he continued. “My favorite teammate is my wife,” he added with a smile, making it clear that his bond with Kylie goes far beyond any football field.

A Relationship Built on Love and Learning

Jason reflected on the many teammates he’s had over the years, both in college and the Philadelphia Eagles, including teammates like Lane Johnson, Isaac Seumalo, Chris Long, and Bo Allen. However, it was his relationship with Kylie that stands out most. “You know, every teammate you play with, you appreciate for who they are, and I had a lot of great ones in Philadelphia. But usually the ones you were with the longest and went through the most times of, honestly, misery with are the ones that you love the most,” he explained.

Kylie, 34, has been by his side through thick and thin, and it’s clear that Jason feels incredibly lucky to have her as his partner. Their relationship is a testament to their deep connection, with Jason acknowledging that he has learned more from her than any of his football teammates.

Life Beyond Football: Fatherhood and Family Moments

Jason and Kylie share a family together, including their two children, Wyatt, 2, and Bennett (Bennie), 2. In a playful moment, Kylie recently revealed that Jason spells their daughter Bennie’s name incorrectly, spelling it with a “y” instead of an “ie.” “He still spells Bennie’s name with a ‘y.’ We’re not in agreement on that,” Kylie joked. “Luckily, lucky for her, I fill out all the paperwork. So suck it. He just likes things that are straightforward.”

Kylie also took the opportunity to share a funny moment involving Jason and their daughter Wyatt. “Jason took Wyatt to the driving range, and Wyatt came back with an ice cream in her hand,” Kylie shared. “The issue is that he only took one child… and they had no more ice cream.” She jokingly added that Jason’s solo time with Wyatt caused a bit of chaos at home. “It’s one thing to take the child out of the house for individual attention and solo time with dad, but it’s another thing to come back in the house with the ice cream,” she laughed.

Advice for Students: Embrace the Moment

Aside from talking about his personal life, Jason also shared some wisdom with the students at Rowan University. Reflecting on his own college days and his 13-year NFL career, he advised the students to “enjoy every second of this because once it’s gone… nothing replicates being in college and that experience.” His passion for embracing life’s moments is clear, and it’s something he carries over into his family life, always looking for ways to enjoy the little things with Kylie and their children.

A Bright Future for the Kelces

As Jason and Kylie continue to build their life together, their love and admiration for each other only grow stronger. Jason’s recent comments about Kylie only further emphasize how much she means to him — not just as a wife, but as a teammate in every sense of the word. With their strong bond and growing family, the Kelces’ future looks brighter than ever.
