Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce are again in the spotlight and this time it’s not because of football! Our much-loved NFL couple is making waves in the City of Lights, and guess what? The duo aren’t certainly missing out on the party as they recently made rounds on the Paris Olympics 2024. The Kelces were seen cheering from the stands at Team USA’s field hockey opening game against Argentina.

While the former Eagles center wore a blue “USA” t-shirt and a beret, Kylie kept it chic and casual in a light grey t-shirt and a white jacket with red and white stripes on its shoulder. Even their outfits were supporting the USA field hockey players. Supporting her favorite team, Kylie told to the Associated Press, “It has always been my dream to attend and see the Olympic Games.“

She also had a chit-chat with the field hockey team and, talking about their conversation, she stated, “I can’t explain how cool it was just to really sit down and talk with the team about their journey to get here. I now know how they have looked forward to it, and how much this means to them. And it feels so amazing to see them here. It is a kind of full-circle moment for me. I personally believe the field hockey team really works together in unity. And it actually inspires me. You know, it doesn’t matter what level you’re playing at, you can always respect, get inspired by and appreciate what this is.”

US field hockey player Sophia Gladieux excitedly shared an Instagram story featuring the former NFL player and his wife, writing, “The Kelce’s understood the assignment“. Kylie couldn’t resist joining in the fun and reposted it on her own Instagram, adding a dancing kid gif for a personal touch of happiness. American field hockey forward Ashley Sessa also posted an Instagram story featuring a photo with Jason Kelce and Kylie. The caption of the story read, “Thanks for stopping by.” Kylie reposted that too, with a sweet note saying, “Loved cheering on these ladies!”.

Soon the International Hockey Federation shared the snapshot of the Kelce couple from the event with the caption, “Still in awe over @JasonKelce and Kylie Kelce showing up to support @USAFieldHockey at #Paris2024 last evening!.” 

USA Field Hockey also got in on the action by posting photos of the couple from the event, capturing them from the stands, and post-match posing with the team. The caption of the post read, “The Kelces have been busy lately… including traveling to Paris to cheer on USA Field Hockey!”

Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce share a mutual love for sports, but what drew them to watch field hockey? Let’s dive into the backstory and find out!

Field Hockey is Kylie Kelce’s love at first sight

What if we told you that Kylie has been playing field hockey since childhood? Yep, that’s right! The former NFL player’s wife is a talented sports person herself. Kylie started playing field hockey at Lower Merion High School and carried that passion into college at Cabrini University in Pennsylvania. She didn’t just stop there and eventually became a head coach.

Kelce continued playing even after her graduation. She joined the Cabrini team and considers it as the best decision of her life. She was also named to the ECAC South All-Stars First Team and All-CSAC First Team. During her later seasons, Kylie’s team won the Colonial States Athletic Conference championship. Not only once, but twice!

Moreover, the former athlete won the CSAC Rookie of the Year title in 2013 and was named to the First Team twice. In her final NCAA tournament game in 2016, she scored a season-high three goals, capping off an impressive sports career. Currently, Kylie continues to support Team USA with unwavering enthusiasm. In March, she joined the field with players Ashley Sessa and Kelee Lepage to interview them for a segment on NBC Philadelphia and the trio also filmed a fun TikTok.

Kylie Kelce’s endless love for field hockey adds a special touch to her support for Team USA.
