Kylie Kelce recently opened up about how she met her husband, former NFL player Jason Kelce. Like many couples, Kylie and Jason met online. While on Allison Kuch’s Sunday Sports Club podcast, Kylie described the whole experience as “hilarious” because she was still in college when she matched with Jason on Tinder. He, however, was already playing for the Philadelphia Eagles … but Kylie had no clue.

Kylie didn't know who Jason was when she matched with him.
According to Kylie, Jason had nothing on his Tinder profile that suggested he might be an NFL player. Instead, his photos showed “him at tailgates, shirtless.” Not knowing who he was and thinking he looked attractive, Kylie swiped right.
She was just messing around at the time.
At the time, Kylie was in college. She and her friends would swipe on Tinder together like it was a game. When she matched with Jason, she sent him a pickup line: “I need LifeAlert. I’ve fallen for you and I can’t get up.”

Jason responded and told her she had to 'try harder.'
“He messaged back and was like, ‘No, you gotta try harder,'” Kylie explained to Allison. In response, she sent him a NSFW pickup line. “I then messaged, ‘If I told you I work for UPS, would you let me handle your package?'” Kylie laughed. “He was like, ‘Much better. I like that one a lot better.’”
'And here we are, almost four kids later.'
Allison joked that there should be a Hallmark movie based off of Kylie and Jason’s love story. Now, Kylie and Jason are expecting their fourth child together, which Kylie admitted is a bit “ironic” considering what Jason had written on his Tinder bio when they matched years ago.
His Tinder bio said “he wanted to cuddle and have intimate conversations about having babies, and it was sarcastic,” Kylie explained.
Before Kylie and Jason actually met up in real life, Kylie and her friends thought Jason was catfishing her.
As Kylie and Jason continued to talk, they got along well. But before Kylie actually met up with Jason, she and her friends tried to Google him using “all the information [they] had.” When they “figured out that the photos were of a Philadelphia Eagle,” they thought he was faking.
In spite of this, when Jason asked Kylie to meet up at a bar, her “ride-or-die friend” encouraged her to go and volunteered to tag along, thinking that the situation would be funny regardless of whether he was a catfish or not.
Jason was super drunk when they first met and fell asleep at the bar.
When Kylie and her friend arrived at the bar, they quickly realized Jason really was who he said he was and not a catfish. However, he was quite drunk and fell asleep at the bar within 45 minutes. The next day, Jason apologized and asked Kylie for a second chance.
A few days later, they met up at another bar and talked for several hours. “It was one of those moments where you’re like, ‘Did we really just talk for three hours?'” Kylie said.
Once they started seeing each other, Jason actually stayed the night at Kylie's dorm.
The fact that Jason was a professional football player didn’t stop him from staying with Kylie on campus. “He stayed over in my dorm more than once,” Kylie laughed. “I would have people in class two days later say, ‘So-and-so was talking about how they were walking to their 8 a.m. and saw Jason Kelce walking across campus to go to his truck.'”
