Kylie Kelce was a proud wife! Two years before Jason Kelce, 36, retired from the NFL in March, the mother of three started planning a retirement gift for him.
Kylie revealed on Monday, April 22, in her Instagram Stories that she requested a custom wooden replica of Lincoln Financial Field, where the Philadelphia Eagles center played for 13 seasons, from Georgia artist and woodworker Dana Theobald.
"I messaged @danatheo.designs 2 years ago! She created this beautiful custom design and waited for me to approve J's retirement and final list of accolades "Kylie shared Theobald's Instagram post about the creation.
@danatheo.designs, your patience and the perfect retirement gift are much appreciated! She uploaded separately. Theobald, who has made replicas of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stadiums, found the gift equally special.
Jason's retirement gift photos on Instagram were captioned by Theobald: "A project I'm proud to share. I appreciate @kykelce's request to make @jason.kelce's Lincoln Financial Field retirement gift. The honor was real."
The gift was photographed from various angles, including the bottom center, where Jason's football jersey number and accomplishments are engraved.
After meeting Kylie, Jason admitted in his retirement speech that his "best years of my career" came.
"Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life," he said. She brings out my best through love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and the occasional kick in the ass.
