Jason Kelce is paying hilarious homage to the dating app where his relationship with wife Kylie began!
As the couple enjoyed a Valentine’s Day meal at K’FAR restaurant on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, was decked out in a long-sleeved shirt featuring the Tinder logo.
“Are you kidding me with this?” Kylie, 31, wrote on a photo on her Instagram Story of her husband smiling while perusing the menu, adding a heart face emoji.
The parents of three daughters first shared how they met in their Prime Video documentary Kelce last year.
“Jason won’t let me lie about this,” Kylie said. “We met on Tinder.”
Initially, Kylie said she didn’t even know the person she matched with on the app was an athlete. “None of his pictures showed Eagles football,” she said. But she and her friends made the connection after Googling him.
So when Jason invited Kylie to meet him and some friends at a local bar, she said she thought it would be “hilarious either way” if it turned out to really be the Eagles player or someone “pretending to be him,” she said.
Not only did Jason turn out to be the real deal, he thought Kylie was pretty notable too.
“Right away when she walks in the door, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Jason recalled.
The athlete said it was “very much like love at first sight” when he and Kylie met that night.
Now married for six years, the couple recently debated what they would do for Valentine’s Day in the latest episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast New Heights, but Jason refused to tell.
“It’s gonna be a surprise,” he said. “Got it all planned out.”
An unconvinced Kylie predicted that the NFL star would call Emily, a woman they work with, to book them a dinner reservation as soon as the episode concluded.
“Listen, Emily makes our reservations,” Jason replied.
When Kylie raised the question of who would look after their girls — Wyatt Elizabeth, 4; Elliotte, 2; and Bennett, who turns 1 next week — during their date night, Jason quickly improvised.
“I thought we’ve been away from the kids for so long that it’d be good to include the kids, ‘cause I know you miss them so much,” he answered, to which Kylie sarcastically remarked, “He’s a hopeless romantic, everyone!”
