Jason Kelce’s first date with his wife, Kylie, is the stuff of legend.
It’s not often someone gets to marry a woman after passing out in a bar during their first meeting. First impressions are lasting impressions after all, they’re pretty hard to beat.
Jason has never shied away from admitting how sideways his date went, but his most recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast has offered some fresh details as his former Eagles teammate Beau Allen was a guest on the show and gave his account of the story given that he was one of those who had to help carry a half-asleep yet feisty Kelce from the bar.
“I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, that was physically one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Allen said. “That was harder than climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.”
“Kylie and Jason met on Tinder. So, for like a week or two leading up to you guys meeting, they were like chit-chatting online. Kelce is talking about this girl like ‘I really like this girl, I’ve got to make a good first impression,'” he continued.
Unfortunately for Kylie, they planned their first date on the same night as the holiday party in Philadelphia.

“Kelce fell asleep on the bar, like snoozing,” recalling that Kelce put up a fight. He also claimed to be “slightly surprised” that Jason got a second date after his drunken antics.
The center admitted having remembered fighting and laughing, although he was asleep.
Things ended up going well for Jason and Kyle as they now have three children together and are approaching their sixth anniversary.
Stuff like this is easier to pull off when you’re an NFL player.
