Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce attend Thursday Night Football Presents The World Premiere of “Kelce”
Jason Kelce is picking up a new sport in Paris!
During his first summer since retiring from football, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, was spotted on a field hockey pitch in Paris playing with his wife Kylie amid a major heat wave.
In photos shared by the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce account on X (formerly known as Twitter), Jason and Kylie looked focused as they worked on the former NFL star’s field hockey skills.
“Coach Ky spotted in Paris working with a new Field Hockey prospect,” the podcast’s account wrote in the post.
While Jason may be the former pro-athlete in their house, Kylie, 32, is the field hockey expert in the Kelce family. The mother of three played in college at Cabrini University and continues to bring new eyes to the sport through youth camps and promotional opportunities.
On July 27, the beloved couple attended the U.S. women’s field hockey Paris Olympics match sporting fun looks to support the American team.
Speaking to the Associated Press after the match, in which the U.S. was ultimately defeated by Argentina 4-1, Jason said he and Kylie wanted to “take advantage of” the opportunity to attend the Olympic Games now that he’s retired.
“We love sports, we love competition, we love world events. This is such a unique place where the entire world gets to come together and bond over competition and sports.”

Kylie told the AP she’s “always wanted to come and see (an) Olympic Games,” and when she learned that the United States women’s field hockey team qualified, “it was kind of a no-brainer” for her and Jason to travel to Paris.
“We’re happy to be here,” Kylie added.
In March, Kylie was thrilled to interview and spend time with Team USA players Ashley Sessa and Kelee Lepage for a segment on NBC Philadelphia.
“I could not have said yes faster,” she said of when the network “reached out and asked” if she’d like to interview two of the Olympic-qualifying athletes for the field hockey team.
After they filmed the segment, Kylie said it was “such a cool experience” and “an honor to hang out and chat with Ashley and Kelee.”
