Kylie Kelce Shares That Jason Kelce Was Her First — and Only — Tinder Meet-Up: ‘It Couldn’t Have Worked Out Better’
Kylie Kelce jokes that she «hit the Tinder jackpot» when she matched with her now-husband, Jason Kelce, back in 2015.
Appearing on the *Not Gonna Lie* podcast on January 6, the 32-year-old opened up about her early experiences with online dating, revealing she was «so glad I got in on it at the start.»
She added, “I never had any horror stories before meeting Jason because I’d never actually gone on an in-person date with anyone from Tinder.” Instead, she and her friends treated swiping as a fun group activity.
Reflecting on how dating apps have evolved, Kylie explained that a decade ago, swiping left meant potential matches disappeared forever, creating a very different dynamic. “It was a totally different experience back then,” she said.
Kylie acknowledged that while her Tinder success story led to marriage—and her friends also found love through dating apps—she’s hesitant to recommend online dating today.
“I think there’s a benefit to having so many options now,” she admitted. “It can broaden your horizons, but it might also mean running into the same people across every app.”
In the 2023 *Kelce* documentary on Amazon Prime, Kylie shared more about her first date with Jason and how she initially thought his profile was «a catfish» since none of his pictures hinted at his career as an Eagles player. Their first meeting took place at a local bar, where Jason invited her to join him and his friends for drinks.
He described their connection as instant, saying, “The moment she walked in, it was love at first sight. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.”
The couple tied the knot in April 2018 and are now parents to three daughters: Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1.
They’re also preparing to welcome their fourth child, a pregnancy they announced in November.
