Kylie Kelce, wife of retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, is the epitome of dedication when it comes to her beloved team. She has made it clear that her fandom runs deep, rooted in her Philadelphia upbringing. Even with Jason’s recent retirement, Kylie’s connection to the Eagles hasn’t wavered one bit; instead, it’s grown even stronger.
Kylie Kelce Has a Woody Ritual for Every Eagles Game
Speaking on her podcast, “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce,” she gave fans an inside look at her game-day rituals. These include Kelce’s quirky habit of knocking on wood, a superstition that she follows religiously to avoid jinxing the team.
“I can’t knock on the same thing too many times — it’s like the magic runs out,” she explained while holding her trusty wooden spoons and explaining that she likes to knock them at different things.
This week, Kylie gets real honest about watching the Birds.

Now watching games from her living room instead of Lincoln Financial Field, Kelce has become a self-proclaimed “yell at the TV” fan. Her daughters often join her during games, with Wyatt, Ellie, and Bennett displaying their unique takes on football fandom.
Kylie humorously shared how Ellie manages to cheer at “oddly appropriate times,” and Wyatt uses football as a tactic to avoid naps.
Kylie also described how the intensity of her fandom ramps up during the playoffs. On game days, she avoids social media entirely and focuses solely on supporting the Eagles.
“Life is not happening; Eagles are happening,” she declared unapologetically.
Kylie’s Fandom Goes Beyond Just Games
Kylie’s love for the Eagles isn’t limited to rituals and game-day enthusiasm. It extends to her philanthropy as well.
In December 2024, she sponsored a field trip for Philadelphia high school students to visit Lincoln Financial Field after a teacher’s TikTok plea caught her attention. Not only did she cover the cost of the tour, but Kelce also ensured transportation expenses were included, making the trip completely free for the students.
This act of generosity totally highlighted her already impressive reputation for giving back. Alongside Jason, Kylie has raised substantial funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation, collecting $865,000 in just two days last year.
Her efforts have already made her a beloved figure among Eagles fans. As of now, Kelce’s new podcast is climbing to the top of the charts, especially because of her Eagles fandom and her continued dedication to the community.
