One day after Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce announced his retirementHis wife, Kylie Kelce, opened up about her reaction to her husband’s speech and much more in an exclusive interview with NBC10.
In the interview, Kylie told NBC10 that she had listened to her husband’s speech before he addressed the media on Monday afternoon.
“I think I was the only one who heard the speech before he gave it,” she said. “I think it was just a perfect summary of 13 years. “It was an incredible career that he had as a player in the NFL.”
She also said her husband had been working on the speech for years.
“I’ve heard multiple versions over the last four years. This was a completely different version,” he said. “I think every year I started from scratch as far as what was on the surface. But when she said she was contemplating retirement for years, she means years.”
Kylie had a front row seat to her husband’s speech on Monday, including the part where he talked about how the two met.
“I still remember the moment she walked through the door. The first instance burned into my retina. It was like she slipped through the opening,” her husband said. “Then she started talking and I thought, ‘Man, is this what love feels like?'”
Kylie told NBC10 that the moment touched her but also amused her.
“It makes me laugh that he tries to talk about what he remembers from that night because, like I said before, he was drunk,” he said. “It was very, very sweet. Very kind. It was too much credit.”
Jason Kelce’s speech sparked strong reactions from Eagles fans and NFL viewers in general.
“A tremendous amount of love and support is expected because I know who my husband is and the way he has behaved and how that has affected people’s lives,” Kylie said. “But at the same time, it’s still shocking.”
