Even in retirement, Jason Kelce’s schedule seems as packed as his days on the gridiron. The former Philadelphia Eagles star, while settling into his new role with ESPN, has finally carved out some time for a well-earned vacation.
Jason and his wife Kylie, along with their children, are setting their sights on the picturesque Turks and Caicos Islands. In the most recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce shared his excitement about the upcoming family getaway, saying, “Kylie and I have been talking about going to Turks and Caicos for a long time.
I heard the water is really nice down there. It seems like it’s a pretty good environment.”
Who could resist the call of turquoise waters and sandy beaches, especially after a demanding career in the NFL?
For Kelce, the trip represents more than just a break from his post-retirement commitments. It’s also about spending quality time with his daughters—something he’s been longing for.
Reflecting on his family time on a recent podcast, he noted, “We don’t travel as much with the girls. We go back and forth because we want them to travel and experience things.
At the same time, they’re so young.” While Disney trips and movie nights have been on the family agenda, Kelce seems eager to expand their horizons.
In addition to beach outings, Kelce envisions his daughters stepping into sports, inspired by their mother Kylie’s field hockey background. He talked about wanting to see Bennett, Elliotte, and Wyatt play some sports by the end of the year, sharing his enthusiasm for introducing them to field hockey.
“Getting old enough that they’re into sports now. They’re riding bikes and doing gymnastics.
I want to get them back out on the ice this year because I like ice skating.” Kelce hopes they might pick up baseball and other sports down the line, bursting with parental pride at the thought of little mini sticks and budding athletes in the family.
Amidst these plans, Kylie’s appreciation for family extends beyond their immediate circle. She recently lauded her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, dubbing him the “king of funcles” for his playful bonding with her daughters. Clearly, the Kelce family values close-knit relationships just as much as they cherish their sports legacies and soon-to-be-treasured beach memories.
