Former National Football League (NFL) star Jason Kelce received a special gift from his wife Kylie, according to People magazine. The 31-year-old mother of three shared a post on her Instagram Story on Monday, giving a shoutout to Georgia-based woodworker Dana Theobald for creating a unique retirement gift for Jason, 36. Kylie revealed that she had been planning the gift for two years, even before Jason announced his official departure from the NFL in March.
Kylie commissioned Theobald to create a custom wooden replica of Lincoln Financial Field, the stadium where Jason played as the Philadelphia Eagles center for 13 seasons. “I messaged @danatheo.designs TWO years ago! She came up with this beautiful custom design and then waited for me to give the retirement green light and J’s final list of accolades,” Kylie wrote on her Instagram Story. “Thank you so much @danatheo.designs for your patience and the perfect retirement gift! ??,” she added in a separate upload.
Theobald’s post, which Kylie shared, featured various shots of Jason’s retirement gift. “A project that is so special to me and that I’m very excited to share,” Theobald wrote in the caption. “Thank you so much @kykelce for commissioning me to make @jason.kelce‘s retirement gift of Lincoln Financial Field. It was truly an honor ??????????”. The gift also includes Jason’s football jersey number engraved next to a list of his accomplishments in the sport.
