In a recent episode of “Power Hour,” a workout-focused digital series hosted by Ilona Maher, Kylie Kelce shared her amusing experiences of exercising with her husband, Jason Kelce, a former NFL star. The couple met through Tinder and tied the knot in 2018. They are now proud parents to four young children, but Kylie confessed that their workout sessions together are less about fitness and more about distraction.

When prompted by Maher about her gym partnership with Jason, Kylie responded with playful sarcasm. “God, no. I don’t hate myself that much,” she joked, highlighting that working out with her husband had proven to be counterproductive. In a light-hearted exchange, Kylie recounted an experience where she performed Romanian deadlifts while Jason watched. Eager for his feedback, she found herself more entertained by his reactions than focused on her training.

“It was after a minute of doing it that I turned to him and asked, ‘Critique my form,’” she recalled. Jason’s response, however, was unexpected: “I’m really distracted.” Kylie humourously termed him “useless” in that moment, hinting at the difficulties of receiving constructive criticism when one’s partner is distracted.
Ilona Maher, joining in on the jest, noted that Jason seemed preoccupied, allowing the conversation to shift to the dynamics of attraction during their workouts. Kylie expressed a mix of admiration and amusement, saying, “I actually kind of liked it,” acknowledging the inherent appeal in such flirtatious moments.
Exploring the concept of mutual affection, Maher deftly proposed that Kylie might also objectify Jason during their workouts, to which Kylie joyfully admitted, “1000%, I do.” This exchange underscored their playful banter and mutual appreciation, all while shedding light on the importance of maintaining attraction in a marriage.
The couple’s relationship began in the modern age of dating through Tinder, and they’ve grown both personally and as a family since their marriage. They now share four daughters: Wyatt, aged 6; Elliotte, 5; Bennett, 3; and Finn, 1. Despite the occasional frustrations, Kylie has been vocal about the importance of keeping the spark alive in their relationship.
On her podcast, “Not Gonna Lie,” Kylie previously discussed what it takes for long-term couples to sustain the excitement in their partnership. She revealed her expectation for Jason to engage in flirtation, even in mundane settings like the kitchen. “I actually give my husband a hard time if he walks past me without grabbing my ass,” she shared. “Flirt with me; I’m gonna flirt with you. You better flirt with me.”
Kylie’s insights not only highlight the playful side of their marriage but also touch on essential elements for enduring romantic relationships: connection and flirtation. These elements contribute significantly to their life’s rhythm amidst the chaos of raising young children.
New episodes of “Power Hour” with Ilona Maher are set to release on Thursdays on the House of Maher’s YouTube channel, promising audiences more light-hearted and engaging discussions surrounding fitness and relationships. Kylie’s witty observations offer a relatable perspective on balancing personal fitness with the demands of family life, portraying a modern partnership that thrives on shared laughter and connection.
