  • Kelce said she “couldn’t have said yes faster” when NBC Philadelphia asked her to interview the field hockey players
  • The mother of three is “so excited to cheer on Team USA” in the 2024 Paris Olympics

Kylie Kelce enjoyed an afternoon on the field with two of the women from Team USA’s field hockey team recently, and she took fans along for the outing!

Kelce, 31, posted a video on TikTok with Ashley Sessa and Kelee Lepage, whom she agreed to interview for a segment on NBC Philadelphia.

“I could not have said yes faster,” she said of when the network “reached out and asked” if she’d like to interview two of the Olympic-qualifying athletes for the USA field hockey team.

To start the post on TikTok, Kelce, a former collegiate field hockey player and high school coach, continued her running joke of “places Kylie has no business being,” which began when she attended the Alberta Ferretti show during Milan Fashion Week in February.

“Hey guys, we’re back with another edition of places Kylie has no business being, and today we’re on a field with women’s national field hockey players, Ashley and Kelee. I have no business out here,” she said.

Kelce told her viewers that Lepage and Sessa “just helped the US field hockey team qualify for this summer’s Olympics in Paris,” adding, “which is all the more reason why I have no business being here.”

The TikTok included clips of Kelce, Lepage and Sessa shooting and running drills on the indoor field. Kelce poked fun at her shots in comparison to the Olympic qualifiers, joking, “Here comes grandma shuffling along,” in a voiceover.

Over a clip of her taking a shot, Kelce wrote, “I’m a self-aware granny,” on the video.

“Before anyone tries to critique me, I know head down, chest down. I am rusty as anything out here playing with elite field hockey players, cut me some slack,” she said.

After she spent time with Sessa and Lepage, Kelce said the meeting “was such a cool experience” for her. “Such an honor to hang out and chat with Ashley and Kelee,” she said.

“I am so excited to cheer on Team USA when they head to the Olympics this summer, and stay tuned; this interview will be airing on NBC.”

In November, Kelce hosted a youth field hockey camp in Kansas City with the help of her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce.

Speaking with Spectrum Sports KC at the time, the mother of three explained how she hopes her camp will inspire the next generation of female athletes on and off of the field. “Sports teaches teamwork,” Kylie said, adding that playing for a team teaches kids to “come together to work towards a common goal.”

Kylie, who said she began playing field hockey when she was going into the second grade, added, “And all of those things are transferable skills to the rest of life, so what better time to start than as early as possible?”

Since discovering her passion for field hockey, Kylie said she “hasn’t had a Fall without” the sport, “between coaching or playing,” since 7th grade. “And I have no intentions of breaking that streak anytime soon,” she added.

Places Kylie Kelce has business being: the NCAA women’s Final Four!

Kylie Kelce attended the semifinals of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament in Cleveland, Ohio, April 5, meeting plenty of people along the way.

The wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce met Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, at the game and posed for a selfie together.

“Finally got to run into this incredibly talented lady,” Kylie Kelce wrote over the pic, adding, “… and yes I made her do a spin so I could admire this outstanding jacket!”

For the Final Four, the fashion designer and her husband wore matching outfits to cheer on Iowa Hawkeyes standout Caitlin Clark. Kristin Juszczyk wore a white puffer jacket featuring Clark mid-shot with the text, “This was never a long shot.” Her husband wore a black puffer vest with Clark’s name and number on the back.

Kristin Juszczyk went viral in January for designing a Kansas City Chiefs jacket worn by Taylor Swift. (Kylie Kelce’s brother-in-law’s girlfriend, for those keeping track.) The moment led to the fashion designer landing a licensing deal with the NFL, and her designs continued to go viral, including her outfit for the Chiefs vs. 49ers Super Bowl 2024 matchup.

Kylie Kelce, meanwhile, watched the games in all black, leaving her allegiance for the South Carolina vs. NC State and Iowa vs. UConn matchups unclear.

Kylie Kelce attended Cabrini University and played field hockey. In addition to working with the Eagles Autism Foundation, she’s also championed women in sports, including through a partnership with Dove aimed at supporting body confidence for young female athletes.

In addition to meeting Kristin Juszczyk at the Final Four, Kylie Kelce also fangirled over her seatmates: former Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders and the former U.S. women’s national soccer team head coach Jill Ellis.

“Still trying to keep my cool about getting to sit next to these two legends last night!” Kylie Kelce wrote over a photo of the trio posted by Sanders.

The women’s Final Four proved to be a star-studded affair. In addition to posting snaps of Kylie Kelce and Kristin Juszczyk, Sanders also posted pictures of Ellis talking with “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis. Sudeikis has cheered on Iowa and Clark throughout March Madness, and the actor posed with the team after they won in the Elite Eight.

Iowa beat UConn 71-69, and South Carolina defeated NC State, 78-59, on Friday..

The Iowa Hawkeyes will return to the national championship Sunday, April 7, after losing to LSU in 2023. They will face the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks.
