Unconventional Proposal: NFL Star Jason Kelce’s Engagement Story
She accepted! But not before navigating what she described as Jason’s less conventional approach to romance.
Podcast Disclosure of Engagement Details
During a September 2023 episode of their podcast, New Heights, the couple recounted their engagement story. Jason prefaced the narrative by acknowledging he is not known for his romantic gestures.
The Impromptu Car Proposal
The professional football player proposed to Kylie in his vehicle as they were departing her parents’ home.
Navigating a Discreet Moment
“I couldn’t figure out how to discreetly re-enter the house,” he explained. “Because if I had said, ‘Excuse me, I need a moment to speak with your father,’ it would have seemed very unusual.”
Instead, Jason opted for an alternative approach. “When we got in the car, I said, ‘Kylie, excuse me, but I need to use the restroom.'”
However, Kylie immediately suspected something was happening when he returned shortly after. “He came back out, and I said, ‘Jason, I know you didn’t just go in there to use the restroom; it typically takes you 20 minutes.'”
The Direct Question
Jason then abandoned the pretense and proceeded with the proposal.
Tears of Joy and Acceptance
“He said, ‘This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,'” Kylie remembered. “And tears immediately welled up because I knew what was happening, specifically because he mentioned romance.”
