In a move that marks the end of an era, Jason Kelce, 36, emotionally announced his retirement from the National Football League after 13 years on March 4, 2024, during a press conference.

The prolific sports star first launched his pro football career in 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles and has played for the team ever since. He was a sixth-round pick for the team, becoming a starter right away.

Jason won the job in camp during a season that had no offseason workouts because of the lockout. The Ohio native has since become a six-time first-team All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowler, and as such, is slated to win bronze in Canton.

Overall, Jason, the older brother of Travis Kelce, whose relationship with Taylor Swift hogged headlines of late, has 193 regular-season appearances under his belt, all starts.

The sportsman is a former member of the Super Bowl LII-winning Eagles, and will forever be remembered for his memorable speech at the championship rally.

Jason's journey in football was filled with passion and dedication. "I love football. Whether it was in my backyard with my brother, on the playground with my friends, or lighting up Friday nights at Cleveland Heights High School. I loved everything about it," he shared during his retirement speech.

The NFL star previously expressed how he would go about announcing his exit from the football profession. "When it's time to officially announce what's happening in the future, it'll be done in a way that's definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me and what has led to the career I've had," Jason stated in January 2024.

His thoughts on retirement date back to a year ago, when he generally addressed it in his Amazon documentary titled "Kelce" based on his 2022-23 season.

"It's getting harder and harder to stay healthy," Jason admitted. In the same documentary, his wife Kylie Kelce expressed her desire for him to retire while still able to enjoy quality time with their children.

A day after her famous husband announced that he would be bowing out of his sporting career, Kylie also spoke candidly about how far he had come in writing his speech.

She had heard it before he publicly delivered it and commented, "[...] I think it was just a perfect summary of 13 years. It was an incredible run he had as a player in the NFL.”

According to Kylie, her spouse worked on the speech for several years. "I've heard multiple versions over the last four years. This was a completely different version. I think every year he sort of started from scratch as to what was sitting on the surface," she said.

During an interview, Kylie also reminisced about the couple's journey together, from their memorable first meeting at an Eagles Christmas party to the powerful emotions elicited by Jason's retirement speech.

"I still remember the moment she walked through the door. The first instance is burned in my retina. It was like she glided through the opening," her husband recounted. "Then she started talking and I thought, 'Man, is this what love feels like?'"

Kylie said it is laughable that her now-spouse still recalls the events of their first meeting, even though he was intoxicated. "It was very, very sweet. Very kind. It was far too much credit," she admitted.

Jason's retirement speech was warmly received by Eagles fans and NFL viewers alike. His decision to retire, influenced by the challenges of maintaining health in such a demanding sport, received heartfelt support from his wife.

Of the reaction, Kylie stated, "The outpouring of love and support is expected because I know who my husband is and the way he has conducted himself and how that has touched the lives of people."

That said, Jason's departure from the sport is not just the end of a significant career but the beginning of a new chapter centered around family and future aspirations.

The Kelce family home in Pennsylvania is a testament to Jason and Kylie's dedication to their three daughters, providing a space that is both "cozy and comfortable," she said.

The emphasis on durability, aesthetics, and the color green reflects their personal tastes and Jason's Eagles legacy. Kylie incorporated a shade of green to the accent wall and a large tree-print.

The room features an art easel, and a mint green toddler play kitchen complete with a farmhouse sink, a stovetop, and a refrigerator. It was also important that the space had storage and shelving for the kids to keep their books.

The couple initially moved into the modest yet elegant house in 2018 that has four bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Jason reportedly bought the property for $680,000 after marrying Kylie in a deal that was $120,000 less than the initial asking price.

The abode is spread across an acre of land and boasts breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. It features an in-ground pool and a spacious wraparound deck that offers a glimpse into the landscaping, including a circular driveway.

Jason purchased another adjacent house that spans eight acres two years after acquiring the estate for a reported $3.96 million. The father of three added another property to his portfolio in September 2023 buying another adjacent house for $1.35 million.

With real estate ventures expanding his horizon, Jason's retirement is far from a step back. From a strategic acquisition in Pennsylvania to a four-bedroom beachside retreat with multiple patios and three levels in New Jersey, his foray into property investment signifies his forward-thinking approach to life after football.

The celebrated sportsman even has a stake in a three-unit rental property in his hometown Cleveland. As Jason transitions from a professional athlete to a focus on family and new opportunities, his impact on the Eagles and the NFL remains undeniable.
