As fate would have it, Kylie really did match with *the* Jason Kelce...and the rest is (almost) history.
On their first date, Jason recalled thinking that Kylie was "the most beautiful woman in the world" and that it felt like "love at first sight." Although he ended up falling asleep before it was over, they had a successful redo shortly after. The two made their romance Instagram official in November 2015 when Kylie shared a black-and-white photo of them together, along with a cheeky caption: "Thank goodness you swiped right too. ☺️"

Inside Kylie and Jason Kelce's Wedding Day
Kylie and Jason Kelce's wedding took place on April 14, 2018, at The Logan Philadelphia Hotel. According to Philly Magazine, the couple celebrated their big day with 170 guests, as well as their 120-pound Irish wolfhound pup Winnie. The groom wore a light gray suit, while the bride looked elegant in a simple white sheath gown with a plunging V-neckline and buttons down the back.
When the couple booked their photographer, Sarah Alderman of AGP Collective, in November, the pro was unfamiliar with Jason Kelce.

"He went from a regular athlete whom I had never heard of to a Super Bowl champion who made such an impression on the city," Alderman told the publication. "I don't follow football, but I've been raising my twins as a single mom since they were born, and I grew up with a single mom, and I feel very familiar to underdog thing. When I saw Kelce's speech, I started crying hysterically. His whole mentality and his approach to life just really hit me hard. I thought, 'This is my groom.'"
Alderman continued to praise the Kelces, adding, "I couldn't pick a better couple. I work with couples all the time, and you can tell when people are a good match. These two are good for each other on every level."
On their first anniversary, Kylie shared a touching tribute to her husband. "One year ago today we stood in front of our closest friends and family and vowed our love and commitment to each other," she captioned a slideshow of photos from the day. "I am so beyond grateful that I get to share my life with this man. Happy one year J!"
