The former Philadelphia Eagles center is taking on a new role after leaving the NFL: He'll appear as a commentator on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown, which is the network's Monday Night Football pregame show, a source familiar with the negotiations told TODAY.com.
"I look back on a career filled with ups and downs," Jason said on March 4. "I won't forget the call I got from Andy Reid and my father rushing into the room, as tears rushing down his eyes that his son had been achieving his dream."
In his speech, Jason went on to reflect on growing up with brother Travis Kelce—who just extended his contract with the Kansas City Chiefs for another two years—saying, "We have a small family. No cousins, one aunt, one uncle. It was really my brother and I our whole lives. We did almost everything together—competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other."
"It's no coincidence I have enjoyed my best years of my career with Kylie by my side," he said. "Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life. She has brought the best out of me through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and, of course, a swift kick in the ass from time to time."
And in honor of Jason's last kickoff with the NFL, Kylie shared the thoughtful retirement gift she bought for him: a miniature, wooden model of Lincoln Financial Field, where Jason played with the Eagles.
And that's not the only cute moment from Jason and Kylie's love story. For more, keep reading.
