Jason Kelce's wife Kylie reveals major career plans while former Eagles star prepares for ESPN analyst role
While Jason Kelce is planning for his upcoming role as an NFL analyst on ESPN, his wife Kylie has some plans of her own. Kylie is a former athlete who also has eight years of experience as a field hockey coach in a Philadelphia high school.
On Thursday, Kylie Kelce sat in an interview with PEOPLE, during which she shed light on her career plans. Kylie revealed that she is thinking of joining the Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia as a field hockey coach, saying:
"I think one of the most important things in being specifically a high school coach and a public high school coach, is that we get a wide range of athletes. Some people will decide to go on to play Division I. Other people won't play past their senior year — they're really there to just enjoy the sport and enjoy time with their friends. In our situation, all are welcome."
Jason Kelce's retirement has brought enough free time for Kylie that she can now get back on track with her own career. The NFL couple had a trip to the Paris Olympics before heading back to Philadelphia to prepare for their work commitments. Kylie is excited for Jason's new job.
Kylie Kelce shares excitement for Jason Kelce's new ESPN role
Earlier this year, Jason Kelce signed a multiyear contract with ESPN for the role of NFL in-game analyst for the "Monday Night Countdown" show. In the same interview with PEOPLE, Kylie expressed that she is looking forward to watching Jason back on the field but in a different role:
"I am mostly excited to see Jason excel in a new position. I jokingly say it's a pain in the butt that he's good at everything, and I know I'm biased in that, but I truly believe he's good at everything because even if he's not good at the start or the best at the start."
“He will work, endlessly and tirelessly until he can achieve that. So, I have full faith that he's going to tackle his new position and excel. I'm really excited to get to watch him do that. And I think it's such a shift from sort of physically exerting yourself to getting to sort of showcase your intellectual ability and the way that you analyze games."
There have been rumors that Kylie is pregnant with Jason's fourth kid. However, Kylie broke her silence and shut down the rumors for once and all. Interestingly, before her statement, Jason revealed that Kylie always wanted a big family.
