Speaking of the different hobbies Jason could have, Kylie thinks he needs something to do that will keep him out of the house for a while. I think that with three small children, I don’t think golf is gonna cut it.”

Kylie Kelce Says Jason’s Retirement Announcement Was a Long Time Coming
While continuing to chat with TODAY co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, Kylie Kelce said Jason had planning his retirement for years.
“He has been telling me he was going to retire since we started dating,” she said. “Which was, like, almost nine years.”
Kylie Kelce then said she believed Jason understood the impact of what football had been on his life. “I think he wanted to make sure that he accurately conveyed that to everyone else,” she explained. “He really wanted to make sure it was correct, and I think it was an outstanding summary.”
In regards to what is Jason’s next career move, Kylie Kelce also responded to rumors that he will be a sports broadcaster. “I think nothing is off the table at this point. I mean, he’s my husband so I’m biased, but I think he’s so good at everything he tries. It’s kind of a pain in the butt.”
Kylie further reaffirmed that nothing is off the table when it comes to Jason’s future. “I think he’s an ideas guy,” she added. “So I think he’s just, sort of, letting them brew and see what happens.”
