Jason Kelce, retired Philadelphia Eagles star and future brother-in-law of Taylor Swift, has shared details about the enormous loss in his life.
Jason recalled at the nonprofit’s 43rd annual sports luncheon in New York the turmoil he and his wife Kylie Kelce endured seven years ago.
The 38-year-old gave an emotional speech about the miscarriage he and Kylie faced.
While accepting the March of Dimes Sports Achievement Award, Kelce recalled leaving practice in tears after learning of the loss.
During the speech, he praised his coaches, teammates and friends for rallying behind him.
“At times like these you really discover how great sports are. [and] how awesome the teams are. There are so many people who have shared with me, coaches, teammates, people in the Eagles building, friends of ours, and you really find out how widespread this is,” he told the audience.
Kelce emphasized how common miscarriages are, noting that the topic often goes unspoken.
“Miscarriage happens frequently. And I think a lot of times it’s not said or talked about.”
He described the experience as “absolutely devastating”, but realizing they were “not alone in this situation” had a huge impact on him and his partner.
