Jason Kelce is talking openly about his wife. Kelly KellsHad a miscarriage seven years ago.
“I remember walking to my truck during practices and meetings, sad and emotional,” Jason, 38, recalled while accepting the March of Dimes Sports Achievement Award at the nonprofit’s 43rd annual Sports Luncheon in New York City on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Every people“It’s moments like this where you really see how great sports are (and) how great teams are,” the retired Philadelphia Eagles player said. “Having a lot of people share that with me, including coaches, teammates, people in the Eagles building, our friends, you really see how common this actually is. How often miscarriage happens. I think, a lot of times, it’s something that people don’t say and talk about.”
Jason called the experience “absolutely devastating” and said it had a “huge impact” on him and Kylie, 33, who received support and realized they were “not alone.”
Finally, he thanked those who gave their “time, resources, energy (and) enthusiasm” to the project. march of dimesan organization focused on maternal and infant health.
“The work that March of Dimes does is not abstract,” Jason said. “This is not a statistic. This is a family. This is a child, this is a baby. So the support that everyone here provides to families and parents across the country should not be underestimated. I want to thank you so much for being here. I’m grateful for this award.”
Kelly introduced her husband and welcomed him on stage. In October, which is Pregnancy and Baby Loss Awareness Month, she revealed on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that she had tested positive for pregnancy in August 2018. A few months later, on November 5th, Jason’s birthday, she learned that she had lost her child.
“I wanted to share more details because when I was going through my miscarriage, I felt like there was a community of people who stood up for me and gave me words of encouragement or love,” she said at the time. “So they reveal that they’ve also experienced loss. What’s interesting is that sometimes it takes people experiencing loss before they can open up about their loss.”
Kelly, who now shares Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 8 months, with Jason, became visibly choked up while describing the couple’s initial excitement. She found out she was having a miscarriage at her 12-week appointment.
“It felt like everything was in slow motion. They couldn’t find the baby on the Doppler,” she said. “I remember feeling like, ‘Oh, there’s no heartbeat. You’re not finding a heartbeat because there’s no heartbeat.'” They estimated the baby stopped developing between nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I experienced what you would call a missed miscarriage. This means that your body doesn’t realize that pregnancy is no longer possible. “
Kelly wanted to “highlight the fact that after four kids, it’s still painful, because it is. For those of you who are still on the journey and haven’t gotten over it yet, like, meeting the little humans that you’re creating, I’m sorry. And for those of you who have experienced loss and still get to meet some of the little humans, I’m sorry, too, because it doesn’t hurt.”
