Jason Kelce and Pregnant Kylie Kelce Have Rare Red Carpet Date Night
Originally appeared on E! Online
They call it a late night date night.
Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce, who is pregnant with their fourth daughter, made a rare red carpet appearance during Chris Stapleton’s performance at the live from the Fillmore for SiriusXM and Pandora event on Feb. 6 in New Orleans.
For the outing, the couple—who are parents of Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 23 months—put their casual style on display, as Jason, 37, rocked jeans and a T-shirt, and traded in his signature Birkenstocks for tennis shoes. For her part, Kylie, 32, was glowing as she showed off her baby bump in a yellow floral dress.
Together, the pair—who have been married since 2018—were all smiles as they posed together with Jason wrapping his arms around Kylie’s baby bump. The outing marked the couple’s first red carpet appearance since 2023, when they attended the premiere of Jason’s documentary Kelce in Philadelphia.
Jason and Kylie’s date night comes ahead Super Bowl LIX, where Jason’s brother Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Missing from the Kelce family Super Bowl outing will be the couple’s three daughters, who will have to take in the big game from home.
“The logistics of travel, school and childcare were just too overwhelming,” Kylie told Today in an interview published Feb. 6. “They don’t also really watch football in a way that they would enjoy being in the stadium for the duration of the Super Bowl.”

However, the girls will still be rooting for their Uncle Trav according to their mom who added, “In an effort to sort of just give everyone their best shot at enjoying the day, they will be watching the Super Bowl from home.”
And while it’s clear that the Kelce girls are rooting for the Chiefs and Kylie is holding strong for her beloved Eagles, Jason is pulling double duty, as he revealed he wants the best outcome for his brother, but his heart is still in Philly.
“That’s the reality of it. No matter what on game day, I’m gonna be happy for one of those sides, and I’m gonna be sad for the other side,” Jason revealed on the Jan. 29 episode of his and Travis’ New Heights podcast. “And it’s similar to the last time we played. I mean, maybe a little bit less intense because I’m not playing now, but I think it’s gonna be very, very similar. I really do.”
Keep reading for a look back on Jason and Kylie’s love story…
2014
Jason Kelce doesn’t want you to know he met his wife Kylie Kelce on a dating app. Too bad she wasn’t afraid to reveal how their relationship began in the Prime Video Kelce documentary.
“Jason won’t let me lie about this,” Kylie shared. “We met on Tinder.”
When Kylie first encountered Jason’s profile, she didn’t recognize the Philadelphia Eagles center, explaining, “None of his pictures showed Eagles football.”
However, after she and her friends thought he looked “kind of familiar,” they did what millennial women do best: A Google image search. And when Kylie put a name to the face, she was confident she was being played.
“It can’t be him,” she remembered thinking, “it’s a catfish.”
Still, she took a chance. And in 2015, she shared the first photo of the couple on Instagram, writing, “Thank goodness you swiped right too.”
December 2014
While Jason and Kylie ultimately hit it off, their first date didn’t go according to the game plan.
“You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk,” Kylie revealed on Jason’s New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce.
Though he was admittedly “inebriated,” Jason said, “I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight.”
Still, Kylie admitted it took her awhile to fully commit to the idea of being in a relationship with a professional athlete.
“I didn’t tell anyone who I was dating,” she explained. “The last thing I wanted was to be like, ‘I think I’m falling for this guy and then have him be like, ‘Oh, I have six other girls waiting,’ which is the stereotype of a football player.”
However, in hindsight, Kylie admitted. “It’s entertaining that there was any hesitation at all.”
“Our dynamic made it so not that I was in a relationship with a professional athlete,” she continued, “it was very much that I was in a relationship wth Jason whose profession was football.”
August 2017
She said yes! But only after putting up with some of Jason’s B.S.
During a September 2023 episode of the New Heights podcast, the couple shared their engagement story, which Jason prefaced by admitting he is not a “romantic” person.
The NFL star proposed to Kylie in his car while they were leaving her parents’ house.
“I couldn’t figure out how to inconspicuously go back into the house,” he explained, “because if I was like, ‘Hey I gotta go talk to you dad for a second,’ it would have been very odd of me to say that.”
Instead, Jason went with, um, option No. 2: “When we got in the car, I said, ‘Ky, I’m sorry but I gotta take a s–t.'”
However, Kylie immediately knew Jason was up to something when he returned minutes later. “He came back out and I said, ‘Jason, I know you didn’t just go in there and take a s–t, it usually takes you 20 minutes.'”
Jason then cut the bulls–t and got down to business.
“He said, ‘This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,'” Kylie recalled, “and I immediately started crying because I knew what was happening only because he referenced being romantic.”
April 2018
Two months after winning his first Super Bowl, Jason added an even more special ring to his collection when he and Kylie tied the knot in Philadelphia.
To celebrate their first anniversary, Kylie shared some throwback pictures from their wedding day.
“One year ago today we stood in front of our closest friends and family and vowed our love and commitment to each other,” she wrote. “I am so beyond grateful that I get to share my life with this man.”
October 2019
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce, on Oct. 2. And to celebrate Wyatt’s first birthday, Kylie shared several photos from the delivery room on Instagram.
“One year ago this little bug was snuggled up on my chest for her first night out in the world. I will never get tired of your cuddles, Wy,” she wrote. “Also, swipe to see what is truly one of my favorite photos in my phone. Mid-push, veins popping out of my head, and the biggest cheesin grin on Jason’s face. Minutes later, we were parents.”
March 2021
The Kelces welcomed their second child, daughter Elliotte Rya Kelce, into the world on March 4.
Kylie shared a sweet video of Elliotte to celebrate her six-month birthday, writing, “Full of smiles, laughs, and sweetness.”
And, for her first post of 2022, Kylie captioned a photo of Elliotte, “Best thing to come out of 2021.”
February 2023
When Jason and Travis faced off against one another at the 2023 Super Bowl, Kylie had a very special guest attending the game with her.
“Kylie’s bringing her OB because she’s going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game,” Jason said on the podcast. “That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it’s officially scripted!”
Travis joked, “We’re in The Matrix, there’s no f–king way.”
February 2023
While Uncle Trav may have won the Kelce Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles, Jason received an even sweeter prize two weeks later when he and Kylie welcomed their third daughter.
“Yesterday little lady #3 joined us,” the couple shared on Instagram. “Bennett Llewellyn Kelce 8lbs. 5oz. and 21inches long.”
Their daughter was named in honor of Jason’s grandmother through Bennett’s middle name, Llewellyn.
“It’s Grandma Mary’s maiden name,” Jason shared on New Heights. “I wanted to honor Grandma Mary, who is now resting in peace. She had a good run.”
August 2023
Kylie and all three daughters visited Jason at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, with the couple sharing pics in a joint Instagram post.
“Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice,” the caption read.
Jason’s dad skills were on full display in the Kelce documentary on Prime Video, in which Kylie shared her honest thoughts on Jason’s retirement.
“I always tell people that no matter what happens with football, how it ends,” she said, “I would like him to retire when he’s still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably.”
September 2024
There’s no doubt Jason has been getting down since officially announcing his retirement in March 2024, enjoying trips to the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Cannes Lions festival and several stops of Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour, including one in London where they met Prince William, along with his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
And there’s no doubt he’s having a royally good time in his new gig as an ESPN commentator.
“Training camp looked a little different this year,” Kylie shared in a Sept. 14 Instagram. “Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!”
However, she added, “Maybe try not to say t-ts this week?”
And Jason was ready to have another tiny cheerleader.
“We’re rotating through clothes we bought for our first daughter now to our youngest, so we have gone through a lot of hand-me-downs,” Kylie told New York Magazine’s The Strategist in June 2024. “The Hanna Anderson PJs last forever. We still have some packed up, just in case there ends up being a fourth.”
November 2024
The Kelces shared that they’re expecting their fourth baby!
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie wrote on Instagram. “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!”
