Kylie Kelce has revealed that her husband Jason was the first person she had ever met in real life from a dating app.
The high-profile couple have made no secret that they met via the dating apps but the now 32-year-old Kylie revealed she had never been on a Tinder date before meeting up with the Philadelphia Eagles star.
‘I did not have any horror stories before I met Jason because I had never met up in person with someone from Tinder,’ she said on her latest podcast episode. ‘I wasn’t on there that long. If you’re gonna go that route, I wish you all the luck. I think I won Tinder.’
‘My friends and I would sit around and swipe while sitting together as sort of a fun activity. I had never had a Tinder date. No horror stories, luckily.
‘But I don’t know that I would recommend online dating today. I will say the landscape of online dating of when I met Jason 10 years ago to what it is now… I’m so glad I caught it on the front end.
‘I do think there is a positive to the fact that you have so many options now. I think that maybe broadens your horizon or maybe [you end up] running into the exact same people on every app.
‘It worked out great for me. I have multiple friends who are married to someone that they met on Tinder or on a dating app. But these are people who met back in our day.’
But despite Kylie thanking her luck, it wasn’t all smooth sailing with Jason as he turned up drunk to their first date.
His former Eagles teammate Beau Allen revealed the story last year in an appearance on the New Heights podcast.
‘The thing people don’t know is that Kylie and Jason met on Tinder so for like a week or two before you guys meet they were like chit chatting online, Kelce was talking about this girl,’ he said.
‘He was saying, “I really like this girl, I’ve got to make a good first impression, what should I say to her.” We were at the holiday party in Philly, Kelce was like I’m gonna meet up with this girl. The night just went a little bit sideways, Kelce fell asleep on the bar snoozing.’
Kelce responded: ‘I know I was sleeping but I remember it. I remember fighting you and laughing my a** off. Were you shocked when Kylie agreed to go on a second date with me?’
‘I was slightly surprised,’ Allen admitted. ‘But you’re a great guy.’
Now, Jason and Kylie are set to welcome a fourth child later in 2025 and already have three girls.
