“He looked big”: Kylie Kelce reveals Jason Kelce’s Tinder swipe story to Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson (Image via Instagram: Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce)
Jason Kelce is 6-foot-3 while Kylie Kelce is 5-foot-11. So the mother of four's first reaction after looking at the former Philadelphia Eagles center was: “he looked big.” It’s natural for a tall woman to find a tall man “attractive,” especially when tall women can be a rarity in itself.Anyhow, explaining her first encounter with Jason over Tinder to Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, Kylie said his physical presence and sarcastic dating profile bio convinced her to swipe right.
Kylie Kelce reveals why Jason Kelce caught her eye
During the candid conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, on their IMO podcast, Kylie was asked about what initially attracted her to Jason.Her first sentence was: “He looked big.” She added, “It [height] is [important]. There is something about being as tall as I am my whole life…”When Jason was placed alongside other people, his size stood out, prompting her to think, “Oh, large.”Very convincingly, Jason had not mentioned his exact height on the profile. This probably made her curious to know him more in person and find out herself how he looked standing alongside her - it’s only natural to want to do that being a tall woman.Since the height part was not there, another curious factor contributed to her interest. Jason’s bio featured enjoying long conversations about emotions and having children.
She appreciated his sarcastic humor and probably found it hard to ignore him.
Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce’s first Tinder encounter
Kylie and Jason met on Tinder in 2015. He played center for the Philadelphia Eagles then, while she was in college.Kylie made her first move by asking him cheekily, “If I told you I work for UPS, would you let me handle your package?” Jason reportedly responded with a meager, “Yes.” This set the foundation of their everlasting romance.Another ice-breaker became: “I’ve fallen. I need Life Alert.
I’ve fallen for you, and I can’t get up.” Her teasing approach nicely complemented his sarcastic profile, thereby making their early exchanges unique and irresistible.However, Kylie was skeptical of being catfished after she searched for him in cyberspace.She got in touch with her friend, Amber, who pushed her to meet him, saying, “This would be great for the story! If it’s him, funny. If it’s not him, even funnier.
We should go find out.”If it turned into a disappointing encounter, it could become a funny story to tell everyone.But she wasn’t catfished. He turned out to be the man of her dreams, and she the woman of his dreams. But their first date clearly wasn’t what they both expected. Maybe that laid the foundation for the unexpected life journey ahead!
Jason Kelce’s first Tinder date took an unforeseeable turn
When Jason and Kylie met in person for the first time, it wasn’t a picture-perfect romantic scene straight from the classic rom-coms.It was Jason falling asleep for 45 minutes as a result of too much drinking. But their awkward start didn’t end their story there.He admitted on the New Heights podcast, “I was sober enough to know she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight.”
