Kylie Kelce is recalling how her love story with Jason Kelce began on Tinder — including the first message she sent him.
On the Feb. 11 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Kylie Kelce talked about the initial exchange that occurred on the dating app between her and the former Philadelphia Eagles center.
“I said, ‘I need LifeAlert, I’ve fallen for you and I can’t get up,'” she told host Alex Cooper, adding, “That one didn’t land very well.”
Kylie Kelce said her now-husband replied and said the pickup line was “not that great,” and that she took it as a challenge.
“So then I went back with, this is so bad,” she said, taking a deep sigh. “‘If I told you I worked for UPS, would you let me handle your package?'”
“And he said, ‘Yes,'” she added with a grin.
Kylie Kelce said it was Jason Kelce’s Tinder bio that initially drew her in.
“His bio … was some sarcastic-ass, like, ‘I’m here to make an emotional connection, I want to have long talks about having babies’ and something else,” she recalled. “I’m like, you’re such a dumbass and I can’t wait to roast the s— out of you.”
She said they messaged on the app for about a week and then made plans to meet up — to see if he actually played for the Eagles, or if he was a catfish. And as she’s discussed before, when she arrived for the date at a bar in Philadelphia, he was extremely drunk.
“He was hammered. Like drunk, drunk,” she told Cooper.
So he wasn’t a catfish, but he may be an embellisher, Kylie Kelce said.
“He has since claimed it was like, a light came down and an angel, I’m like, ‘No, you were f—— s—faced,” she said.
Kylie and Jason Kelce have previously talked about their first date while on a 2023 episode of “New Heights,” the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce.
“You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk,” she said.
“Not a good first date,” Jason Kelce responded.
“(I) got a little bit too inebriated, but I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight,” he said.
