On the podcast, Kylie warmly referred to her husband as a “silver fox” while playfully teasing him about his impending milestone birthday. “I am wife to Jason Daniel, born this exact day,” she stated, cheekily noting his birth year without revealing it outright. Instead, she hinted at the number 87, Jason’s jersey number, which corresponds to his birth year of 1987.
As she celebrated Jason’s birthday, Kylie whimsically noted their age difference, quipping, “What I will tell you is that sucker’s got five years on me. Spring chicken, that’s me.” She expressed her affection for her husband and fondly remarked on how their young daughters are looking forward to celebrating him. “They’re truly excited to celebrate and it’s so fun to watch,” she added.
The couple’s four daughters include Wyatt Elizabeth, aged seven, Elliotte Ray, five, Bennett Llewellyn, three, and Finnley Anne, just one year old. Kylie offered a heartfelt birthday message to Jason, emphasising that next year marks his 40th year. “That’s crazy old. Just a bag of dust. Old man,” she joked affectionately. However, she quickly followed it up with a term of endearment, calling him her “distinguished gentleman” and “silver fox”.
Concerning their age gap, Jason was quick to clarify in the podcast comments that the difference is actually four and a half years, not five. This playful banter exemplifies the couple’s affectionate dynamic, with Jason often sharing moments of levity on social media and in their joint podcasting ventures.
The retired football star has openly discussed the changes that come with age, including his greying hair. In an earlier episode of *New Heights*, which he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce, Jason recounted a humorous incident involving a botched hair dye job. He explained that he wanted to appear younger for a promotional bit related to his beverage brand, Garage Beer. “I came out of the shower, immediately I looked like Billy Mays,” he said, laughing at his unexpected transformation.
While the dye job didn’t last, Jason admitted that he found himself missing his natural grey locks after witnessing the effects of the faux-dye. “I can’t wait for this to grow back out,” he shared, indicating a comfort with his greying status.
Subsequently, he joked about how his daughter, Elliotte, had innocently pointed out his greying beard during a playful game of “I Spy.” “I spy something white!” she exclaimed, which led to Jason and Travis both acknowledging the noticeable changes. “It is getting white at the bottom,” Travis noted, to which Jason seemed unruffled, embracing the look. “Those corners are getting in. I can’t wait until I’m full-on white. I want to be full grey. I’m in, dude,” he said, reflecting a sense of pride in his appearance.
As the Kelce family come together to celebrate life’s milestones, their light-hearted exchanges showcase a love grounded in mutual respect and humour. The couple presents a relatable picture of family life, united through playful banter and the joys of parenthood. As Kylie and Jason look to the future, they continue to embrace each stage of life with warmth and laughter, reflecting the enduring bonds of marriage and family.
