I won't lie, Kylie and Jason KelseyHer engagement story we laughing out loud.
“His proposal suits us perfectly,” Kylie, 32, said on the Sunday, January 12, episode. Alison Koch“Sunday Sports Club” podcast.. “We dated, and I think it was three years before he proposed. It was the weekend of training camp, so I was pretty convinced we wouldn't get engaged for another year. … Once you start football, it's football. There's nothing last.”
According to Kylie, the couple went to see her parents for dinner on one of Jason's rare days off before the NFL season started, bringing their dog along for the trip. As the couple prepared to leave, Jason, now 37, was stalling.
“We go outside, get in the car, get ready to leave, and Jason turns around and says, 'I've got to get back inside,'” Kylie recalls. “And I said, 'Really?' This is the time you have to take as—? …Hurry up.”
Jason Kelsey swiped right and found love with Kylie Kelsey — even if their first date got off to a rocky start. “(I) definitely slept,” the former Philadelphia Eagles athlete recalled on his “New Heights” radio show in September 2023. “I was a little drunk, but I was sober enough to know that it was[…]
Kylie waited in the car while Jason got back inside. “Unbeknownst to me, (he) was asking my father for permission to ask me to marry him,” she said. “So he came out in less than five minutes. I know my husband. That wasn't enough time to take him as —. So he got back in the car and I said straight to him: 'Go back there and finish your work.'
Kylie told Jason she refused to stop while they were going home, but he kept insisting he was fine. “The whole time, he's silent and fidgeting. He's like, 'I don't need to take it…'” she said.
The couple was still in the aisle when Jason finally popped the question. “He turns around and says, 'This isn't the most romantic way to do this, but I want you to get out of the truck,'” Kylie continued. “And as soon as he said 'romantic,' I immediately knew what was going on. Romance is not something this guy is well versed in.”
Kylie “immediately started crying” – and she doesn't remember much. “I blacked out. I have no idea what this man said to me. I'm pretty sure he asked me to marry him. I'm not 100% sure, but there was a ring and I wore it.
The proposal was made “right on my parents' front lawn” without any photo or video evidence of this accomplishment. “Honestly, he nailed that part,” Kylie added. “It was perfect.”
She went on to joke, “I felt a little guilty about the fact that it was a whole conversation about being considered — leading up to (it).”
Jason and Kylie Matched on Tinder When she was in college. “I sent him a pick-up line. I was like, 'I need LifeAlert.' 'I've fallen in love with you and I can't get back,'” Kylie recalled on the podcast, revealing Jason's reaction. “He texted back and said, 'No, you have to try harder.' “”
Kylie's second attempt – “If I told you I worked for UPS, would you let me handle your package?” -Leaving him even more impressed. At the time, none of Jason's photos indicated that he played for the Philadelphia Eagles, but after a little research online, Kylie discovered the truth.
“My friends and I, of course, were like, ‘It’s a catfish,’” she recalls. “So, when he said, ‘You should meet us at this bar,’ my only friend who was my do-or-die friend…she was like, ‘We should To go because if it's him, it's funny (and) if it's not him, it's even funnier.”
The couple's first date wasn't smooth sailing — as some fans know, Jason was pretty drunk to… He slept in the bar – but the couple hit it off in the end. They tied the knot in 2018, and welcomed their daughter, Wyatt, one year later. Their family expanded with daughters Ellie and Bennett in 2021 and 2023 respectively.
Kylie and Jason Announced in November 2024 That baby number 4 – another girl – is on the way. “People have put this weird pressure on the idea that my husband is supposed to have a son because he's going to follow in his footsteps and be a football player and need to play catch in the yard,” Kylie said on Sunday. “I hate to break it to you, but our kids play with him at home all the time. He's fine.”
