Kylie Kelce just paid tribute to her husband Jason Kelce’s 13-year NFL career.
The Philadelphia Eagles center retired from the NFL on Monday, and Kylie, 31, publicly celebrated her husband’s accomplishments in an Instagram post on Thursday.
The mother-of-three shared a photo with Jason, 36, beaming from ear to ear after the Eagles won Super Bowl LII in 2018.
“Pulling this out of the archives to congratulate this guy on his retirement,” Kylie began in the Instagram caption. “Your award-winning 13-year career is a direct result of your hard work, determination and resilience.”
She went on to praise her husband and added that she was “immensely proud” to be his wife. “I can’t wait to see what you do next. As always, the girls and I will be there to cheer you on every step of the way! 💚.”
Ahead of her celebratory Instagram post, Kylie told NBC’s Philadelphia News 10 that Jason’s post was a “perfect summation” of his tenure in the NFL.
“I think I was the only one who heard the speech before it started,” she revealed. “I think it was just a perfect summary of 13 years. It was an incredible streak that he had as a player in the NFL.”

During his touching farewell, he thanked the NFL for giving him the opportunity to meet Kylie — as the pair first met at the Eagles’ Christmas party — and then directly thanked Kylie for their family.
“She also gave me three beautiful girls and a life that brings me more fulfillment off the field than on it,” he said through tears.
The couple have been married since 2018 and have daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliott, 23 months, and Bennett, 12 months.
