What NFL Star Jason Kelce Wants His Kids to Know: ‘We Love Them’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce discussed with PEOPLE how his family manages fame and the most important thing he wants his kids to know.
“We really try not to let it affect us, to be honest with you,” Jason told PEOPLE about the attention surrounding his family. “I think there are times where you’re out and about and whatnot, and it’s hard to just enjoy being at an event or out to dinner. But for the most part, everybody’s very nice and generous and either they are fans of the team or listening to the podcasts, or all of our family.”
“I love hearing people that appreciate whatever it is they appreciate about us,” he continued. “I don’t think we’re living any differently than we have been though. It’s just now there’s more articles and stuff, but we’re largely just doing the same thing.”
Kelce and his wife, Kylie, recently welcomed a new baby girl. The couple also share daughters Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3.
As the football season kicks off, Kelce and Kylie have one goal: they want their kids to know how loved they are and that they are first priority.
“That’s the only thing I really care about. We’re very fortunate to be playing in the NFL and living the life that we are as a family. And I don’t know what my kids are going to take away from that,” Kelce expressed. “But the number one thing, the basic thing that I think they take away from it is that we love them and they are the most important thing in the world to us, regardless of football.”
Kylie added, “I’m excited to hear when they’re older what they remember. I think Wyatt will probably remember a decent amount. There are some really cool things that we get to do as a family that I’m hoping they’ll have at least vague memories of because they’re so unique. The fact that we’re able to do them all together is really important, and they also just absolutely love getting to cheer dad on.”
Kylie shared a family photo on Instagram and wrote, “Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice.”
The Philadelphia Eagles are 1-0 in the regular season and are striving to earn their spot back in the Super Bowl this year.
