Kylie Kelce is her husband Jason Kelce‘s biggest champion.

The former field hockey star revealed she’s excited for the retired NFL player’s second career as an ESPN analyst on Monday Night Countdown.

‘I am mostly excited to see Jason excel in a new position,’ she told People in an interview published Thursday.

 

‘I jokingly say it’s a pain in the butt that he’s good at everything, and I know I’m biased in that, but I truly believe he’s good at everything because even if he’s not good at the start or the best at the start he will work endlessly and tirelessly until he can achieve that,’ she went on.

‘So, I have full faith that he’s going to tackle his new position and excel.’

The mother-of-three, who shares her mini-me daughters with the Philadelphia Eagles legend, said his new gig was ‘such a shift’ from his time as a player.

‘[He’ll get] to sort of showcase [his] intellectual ability and the way that [he] analyzes games,’ the 32-year-old said.

‘He’s such an analytical person and so I think that this will be the perfect role for him on Monday night with ESPN. I’m really excited to watch him work.’

Elsewhere in the interview, Kylie spoke about her time at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she observed ‘the shift in excitement’ happening around women’s sports.

‘Seeing these women get the attention and love that they deserve is amazing. When we were watching USA field hockey, we got to meet a large amount of the team afterward. Some of the girls I already know since nine of the girls on the team are PA girls. It’s so much fun to see,’ she said.

‘When we were there with field hockey, I got to run into two former Olympians for the USA field hockey team that I actually grew up watching. And it’s funny to have people introduce themselves and you’re like, “I know who you are.”‘

Kylie revealed she and Jason also ran into former Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and women’s rugby star, Ilona Maher.

‘It’s so much fun to meet these women who are excelling in their sports or having excelled in their sports, who are role models to young women,’ she said.

‘It’s such an honor to spend time with them and pick their brains — every single one of them. I was just trying my best not to fangirl.’
