Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, found himself at the center of social media controversy after a lighthearted interview with his wife, Kylie, sparked mixed reactions from football fans. The couple participated in a fun game of “Who’s Most Likely To: Couples Edition,” shared by the NFL on Tuesday, where they revealed some playful details about their relationship. The most surprising revelation? Kylie, not Jason, takes on the role of the “big spoon” when they cuddle.
This admission quickly drew a range of reactions online. Some fans were baffled by the personal nature of the content, with one commenter expressing their disinterest: “All cringe and weird comments. Why would we ever care about this?” Another user echoed the sentiment, asking, “Who cares who’s spooning who?” The backlash didn’t stop there, as some fans voiced their growing fatigue with the constant media coverage of the Kelce family. “I am so over everything Kelce… enough,” one person wrote, while another agreed, saying, “Let’s stick to football content.”
However, not all the feedback was negative. Some fans related to the Kelces’ dynamic, with one commenter humorously defending the practice: “As a man, if you’ve never been the little spoon, you’re missing out.” Another added, “Kylie always seems like the one in charge,” reflecting on the couple’s candid and playful relationship.

In addition to the spooning confession, the Kelces revealed other fun tidbits during the interview. Kylie, 32, is apparently “most likely to fall asleep during a movie,” while Jason, 36, admitted he’s the one who might “forget that it’s Valentine’s Day.”
The interview comes on the heels of a major announcement from Jason and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The brothers recently signed a new deal with Amazon’s Wondery for their “New Heights” podcast, reportedly worth over $100 million. This deal grants Wondery global distribution rights to all past and future episodes of the podcast, starting with the NFL season opener.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights.’ We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the last two seasons,” the Kelce brothers said in a statement. “Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights’!”
Jason, who retired from the NFL in March after 13 successful seasons, is also embarking on a new career as an NFL analyst for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.” He made his official ESPN debut earlier this month after attending the 2024 Paris Olympics with Kylie.
Despite the mixed reactions to their spooning habits, Jason and Kylie remain one of the most beloved couples in the sports world. Married since April 2018, the couple shares three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 18 months.
As Jason transitions from the football field to the broadcast booth, it’s clear that the Kelce family will continue to be in the spotlight, whether fans love it or not.
