Former NFL star Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie are the parents of three daughters.

On the May 15, episode episode of his podcast “New Heights,” Jason Kelce shared that the couple’s two eldest daughters, Wyatt and Elliotte, now both attend the same preschool that Kylie Kelce attended as a child.

“It’s fun listening to your kids talk about what they did for the day, who they’re meeting in their little classes,” Jason Kelce said of his daughters being old enough to attend school. “It’s really cool to hear your kids experiencing things on their own and then come back to share them with you.”

In a commencement speech delivered in May at Cabrini University, her alma mater, Kylie Kelce spoke about getting “older and wiser,” especially as a parent.

“You are better equipped with knowledge to make more informed decisions,” Kelce told students. “Just look at me now. I’m 32, mom of three. Where did the time go? I couldn’t tell you, but what I can tell you is I have no idea what I’m doing.

“Every day we are winging it, just trying not to mess our kids up. Come to find out, that’s what our parents did, too,” she continued. “I’m not trying to ruin the mirage that is parenting, but I really want you to understand that with determination and a little potentially unjustified confidence, you can get through the times of uncertainty.”

When Jason Kelce, a 13-year Eagles veteran, announced his retirement from the NFL in March, he gave a special acknowledgement to Kylie, saying, “I think it’s no coincidence I have enjoyed my best years of my career with Kylie by my side.”

“Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life,” he said. “She has brought the best out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and, of course, a swift kick in the a– from time to time.”

Likewise, Kylie Kelce shared her support for her husband as he embarks on a new chapter, writing on Instagram in March, “Your accolade studded 13 year career is a direct result of your hard work, determination, and resilience.”

“I am immensely proud to be your wife and can’t wait to see what you do next,” she captioned a photo of herself and Jason. “As always, the girls and I will be there cheering you on every step of the way!”

Jason Kelce has said previously he knew ever since he was a young child that he wanted to be a father.

“I was reminded by my dad of a story when my brother was born,” he said in an interview from 2019. “My brother [Travis Kelce] was [born] two years after I was … I was in the waiting room …. and one of the nurses came up [and asked me,] ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and I said, ‘Oh, I want to be a dad.’ So it’s kind of come full circle,” Jason Kelce said at the time.

In May, Jason Kelce announced his next chapter after football, confirming he has officially joined ESPN as the newest member of “Monday Night Countdown.”
