How Did Kylie and Jason Kelce Turn a Tinder Match Into a Beautiful Life Together?

Kylie McDevitt and Jason Kelce’s love story is a modern-day fairy tale, and it all started with a simple swipe on Tinder. Their journey together is proof that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it, even in the world of online dating.

Kylie and Jason’s paths first crossed on the popular dating app, Tinder. At the time, Jason wasn’t exactly sharing details about his football career. Kylie didn’t realize she had matched with an NFL star until later. Jason’s profile didn’t feature photos in his Eagles uniform, and it wasn’t until they started talking that Kylie learned about his football career. Jason’s profile, in fact, was quite unique, focusing on deep and meaningful conversations and dreams about marriage and children. That caught Kylie’s attention, and the two hit it off instantly.

Their first date didn’t go as planned, but it’s one they both laugh about now. Kylie recalls meeting Jason and his friends at a bar, but the date didn’t last long. Jason, who had a bit too much to drink, fell asleep at the bar just 45 minutes into their meeting. It was an awkward moment, but it didn’t scare Kylie away. In fact, she found it funny. As the story goes, Jason’s teammate, Bo Allen, had to fireman-carry Jason back to his apartment.

The next day, Jason knew he had messed up. He called Kylie and asked if they could try again. This time, the date went much better. Kylie was impressed by Jason’s determination and felt more drawn to him. That second date marked the real beginning of their relationship.

After several months of dating, Jason and Kylie became a couple, and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. In November 2015, they went Instagram official, sharing a black-and-white photo of themselves with the caption, "Thank goodness you swiped right too." It was clear from the very start that they were meant to be together.

Their relationship moved quickly, and just a few years later, Jason proposed to Kylie. They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Philadelphia on April 14, 2018, with 170 guests, including their beloved Irish wolfhound, Winnie. The couple had been through a lot together by that point—Jason had just won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, and their love was only growing stronger.

Since their wedding, Jason and Kylie have created a beautiful family. They are now proud parents to three daughters—Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett—and are expecting their fourth child. Kylie has always been supportive of Jason’s career, and even though she was pregnant at the time, she was at the 2023 Super Bowl cheering him on. Their family is always their priority, and they continue to share special moments together.

Jason, who retired from football in 2024 after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, has begun a new chapter in his career as an analyst for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. Kylie is just as supportive in his new role as she was when he was on the field. She’s proud of everything he’s accomplished and is excited to see him thrive in his new role.

Despite all their success and fame, Kylie and Jason remain grounded. They share a love built on respect, humor, and a strong connection. They’ve also embraced their public life, making appearances in commercials, sharing moments on social media, and even supporting each other through their charitable efforts. Their story proves that a simple swipe on Tinder can lead to a beautiful, lasting relationship full of love, laughter, and family.
