The wife of recently retired NFL star Jason Kelce is looking forward to quality time with her family, whether it’s at the beach or while they’re on the go.
Speaking with PEOPLE about her partnership with HP and the Eagles Autism Foundation on screen-free, creative options to keep kids busy this summer, the mom of three says things are still “very much in a chaotic schedule” for the family right now.
“We are just flying by the seat of our pants until football season starts and field hockey season starts,” she tells PEOPLE. “So I think our fall will provide some more structure, but right now, we’re just hoping to get as much time on the beach as possible, get our toes in the sand, and tucker out some kids.”
Kylie recently got in some beach time with daughters Bennett, 15 months, Elliotte, 3, and Wyatt, 4½, working on their Father’s Day project for Jason.
“I’m actually doing a project with the girls for Father’s Day so that we can give them gifts that they have made themselves,” she shares.
“Not to spoil anything, but there’s a lot of rocks at the beach, and our girls are fascinated with rocks. So we’re taking some paints down to the beach today and we will hopefully be decorating rocks for Dad that he can keep as tokens of their love.”
Kylie says Jason is “pretty easy” to please.
“Outside of that, we’ll do probably just a barbecue. I usually call him off of all dad duties that day. He will most definitely not be changing diapers or helping with potty time,” Kylie notes.
So, at the very least, he does get that. And he also usually gets to sleep in. I’ll remove the girls from the house in the morning. We’ll go and get some baked goods or some bagels — definitely, a large coffee — and we’ll bring that back as a treat. And this year, he will get his rocks, too, so it’ll be great.”
Family time is fun for the Kelce family, with the couple enjoying watching their little girls grow.
“Our youngest is now sprinting. She is speaking a significant amount of words, so she very much is voicing her opinion. She has a very funny, funny sense of humor without even trying,” the proud mom shares.
“And our two olders are just ready for anything. They’ve been getting into everything, but also super into any activities that we can do with them,” she continues.
“Just this past weekend, they went to Costco with my parents and that was a fascinating experience. Who knew a big-box store would really blow their minds?”
The family continues to reside in the Philadelphia area and continues their commitment to the Eagles, as well as the Eagles Autism Foundation (EAF).
“I think that we lucked out being involved in the Eagles. When I met Jason, he was already in love with the city and the team and everything that he had experienced there,” Kylie shares.
“So I think that it’s been made easier that Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Eagles, decided to step into autism as the charitable endeavor and really focus on leaving a lasting legacy on the autism and neurodiverse community.”
We are really fortunate that that is the space that we’ve been given with the Eagles and that we’ve been able to sort of hop along for the ride. And now we’re able to amplify with opportunities like HP has provided here with our Print Pals,” she continues. “It’s resources like this that make us excited to be able to use our platform and impact the neurodiverse community.”
Meet the OTHER Kelce couple: Inside the humble life of Eagles star Jason, his fame-shy wife Kylie and their three adorable kids – after they met on a disastrous TINDER date in 2015
When Kylie McDevitt swiped on a Tinder profile in her college days, she thought she was getting cat fished. After looking up the person in the pictures, she realized that profile claimed to belong to a football player for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kylie accepted an invitation from the Tinder match to meet up at a bar, and that’s when she was first introduced to Jason Kelce.
The date went horribly.
‘Well, his profile at the time was something to the effect of; I want to have deep meaningful conversations and talk about getting married and having kids or something like that,’ she said on the New Heights podcast. ‘He fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk.’
Cut to years later and Kylie and Jason have a happy family of three children – with their lives constantly on display these days through documentaries and the media’s fascination with the relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

Kylie and the rest of her half of the Kelce family couldn’t have expected their shot to stardom but since Travis’ relationship with Swift took the world by storm, they’ve been in the media spotlight.
‘It’s not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of a camera,’ Kylie said earlier this month in Kansas City
‘I was a communication major in college. I love to be behind it, that’s my bread and butter,’ she said of the cameras.
Of course, while her husband is a superstar in the NFL he plays a position (offensive line) that isn’t exactly one of flash and fame.
After the poor first date, Jason called her the next day and asked if he could get a second chance. Kylie agreed, saying that he ‘did much better’ the second time around.
The couple made their relationship ‘Instagram official’ in November of 2015 – with Kylie captioning, ‘Thank goodness you swiped right too’.
Fast forward to April of 2018, when the Kelce’s tied the knot at a local hotel in Philadelphia – where Jason was playing football and Kylie grew up.
Kylie initially believed that the profile she swiped on could be a catfish, but it was indeed Jason

After asking for a second chance, Kylie agreed and the couple have been together ever since
After going public with their relationship in 2015, they were married in Philadelphia in 2020
Over a year later, the Kelce’s welcomed their first young one to the family – a baby girl named Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce.
Jason told reporters that they initially planned on Wyatt as a boys name and Charlotte as a girl’s name. But after a friend named their daughter Charlotte, the Kelce’s were convinced by others that Wyatt was a great name ‘regardless’ of gender.
Wyatt became an older sister on March 4, 2021 when Elliotte Ray Kelce was born.
While Kylie was pregnant with a third child – Bennett Llewellyn – Jason was busy getting ready to play Travis in Super Bowl LVII.
She was so nervous about giving birth at the game that she brought her two OB-GYN’s to the Super Bowl with her just in case.
Kylie didn’t give birth in Arizona, but she didn’t have to wait long – with Bennett brought into the world eleven days later on February 23 of this year.
Kylie and Jason both have three daughters – with the most recent being born in late February

Jason was there, but Kylie caught him (literally) napping and jokingly called him a ‘tremendous support’ on Tik Tok.
As a Dad, Kylie says that Jason is a very loving father, but his love for showing the children the Disney Aladdin is getting on her nerves.
Since joining the Kelce family, Kylie has had nothing but good things to share about the tight-knit group.
‘I was on the outside at the beginning because I’m married in,’ she told ABC in an interview
‘The most amazing part is that I was welcomed in with open arms.’
Kylie says that since her marriage to Jason, she’s been welcomed by his family ‘with open arms’
Kylie’s even provided some dating advice to Travis (before he was going out with Taylor) about Tinder profile pictures.
‘Ky, you think I should go ‘stache or no ‘stache?,’ Travis asked.
She joked that her answer would ‘sound a little harsh’ before telling him to use the mustache picture, ‘because if they’d swipe right at your worst, then they’ll love you at your best’.
But Travis doesn’t have to worry about that now that he’s dating Swift – a Philly-area native live Kylie.
While their ‘Love Story’ is the subject of relentless gossip and speculation, they can find an image of stability, happiness, and maybe inspiration in Jason, Kylie, and the rest of this part of the Kelce clan.
