Kylie Kelce’s Sweet Birthday Shoutout to Jason on Her Podcast

Kylie Kelce paid a playful birthday tribute to her husband, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, on the Thursday November 5 episode of her podcast "Not Gonna Lie."

She called him her "silver fox" as he turned 39.

"He's my silver fox! Yeah he is. Mine!" she said on the show.

Kylie joked about not revealing his birth year during the episode.

Instead, she whispered "Travis' jersey" — a reference to the number 87 worn by his brother, Travis Kelce.

That number matches the year Jason was born: 1987.

She added that he is "about to be 40" next year.

Jason responded in the comments section of the podcast or related post.

"Technically it's 4.5 years," he wrote, referring to the age gap between them.

Kylie turns 35 in March.

The couple married in April 2018.

They have four daughters together.

Jason co-hosts the "New Heights" podcast with his brother Travis.

The "silver fox" nickname has a backstory that goes back more than a year.

In August 2025, Jason said a dye mishap while preparing a bit for his beverage brand, Garage Beer, left his beard darker than he expected.

He said at the time that he would like his grey back.

Last month, he explained that one of his daughters spotted grey hairs in his beard while they were playing "I Spy."

Travis agreed that the beard was turning white, Jason said.

The birthday tribute is the latest public moment between the couple, who generally keep their family life relatively private.

Kylie launched "Not Gonna Lie" as a podcast platform where she discusses family, sports, and pop culture.

The show has gained attention for its candid, conversational style.

Jason Kelce retired from the NFL after the 2023 season following a 13-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection and won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles.

Since retirement, he has moved into media, co-hosting "New Heights" and taking on hosting duties for special events.

He recently hosted "Salute to Service 2026: A Veterans Day Celebration" for PBS, featuring award-winning musician Jon Batiste and the U.S. Army Field Band.

The 55-minute music-filled special aired Friday November 6 at 6 p.m. on PBS39 and the PBS App.

Jason has also been active in defending his former Eagles offensive line coach, Jeff Stoutland, against rumors that players contributed to Stoutland's departure from the team.

During a weekly appearance on 94WIP, Kelce called out unnamed sources in defense of Stoutland.

"I would take anything you hear from an unnamed source with a giant grain of salt, because ultimately that person isn't willing to stand behind it in front of a camera, and usually that unnamed source has some type of incentive or reason that they're putting this out to a media member, and it's usually to cover their own behind," Kelce said.

He cited examples of players showing support for Stoutland: Jordan Mailata and his wife went to have dinner at Stoutland's home after he left, and Lane Johnson only met with one coach after retiring — Jeff Stoutland.

"I take great offense to somebody alluding to players not fighting really hard for Jeff," Kelce said.

But on the podcast, the tone was lighter.

Kylie's birthday message was affectionate and playful, showing the couple's dynamic.

The "silver fox" nickname has become a running joke in the Kelce household.

Jason has embraced the grey, even after the dye mishap made him want it back.

The birthday episode of "Not Gonna Lie" gave fans a glimpse into the couple's relationship.

Kylie's reference to Travis' jersey number was a clever way to avoid saying Jason's age directly.

The moment has been shared widely on social media.

Fans of the Kelce family have followed Jason and Kylie's relationship since they married in 2018.

The couple has four daughters: Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and a fourth child whose name has not been publicly confirmed in all reports.

Kylie has occasionally shared insights into family life on her podcast.

In a previous episode, she discussed Jason's bond with their daughter Wyatt.

The birthday tribute fits into a pattern of public affection between the couple.

Jason's comment about the age gap being "technically 4.5 years" shows his attention to detail — a trait that served him well as an NFL center.

The exchange between them on the podcast comments section adds a layer of real-time interaction for fans.

It is unclear whether Jason appeared on the podcast episode itself or just commented afterward.

Either way, the moment has become a talking point among listeners.

The "Not Gonna Lie" podcast continues to grow its audience.

Kylie has positioned herself as a distinct voice in the sports-and-family podcast space.

Her show is separate from Jason and Travis' "New Heights" but shares some overlapping audience.

The birthday episode is available for streaming on major podcast platforms.

Listeners can hear Kylie's full tribute and Jason's response in the comments.

The "silver fox" nickname is likely to stick, given its backstory and the couple's embrace of it.

Jason's grey beard has become a signature look in retirement.

He has said he prefers the natural grey over the dyed look from the Garage Beer mishap.
