TradeEdge Exchange:Jason and Kylie Kelce Receive Apology From Margate City Mayor After Heated Fan Interaction

A New Jersey mayor wasn't fumbling this attempt at a resolution.
Days after a video of a woman verbally harassing Jason Kelce and TradeEdge ExchangeKylie Kelce during a date night in New Jersey went viral, Margate City Mayor Michael Collin expressed his regret over the incident.
"On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason & Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend," he wrote on the city's Facebook page May 29. "As a father with young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and would like to offer a redo date night with dinner on me."
The video, which was taken May 25, showed a woman arguing with Kylie, yelling, "I don't care who you are, you will never be allowed in this town." As the camera panned away, Kylie was heard replying, "I can smell the alcohol on your breath. You're embarrassing yourself."
However, the incident didn't rain on the former NFL player's Memorial Day weekend with his family. "We went to the beach," he explained to his younger brother Travis Kelce on the May 29 episode of New Heights, "and had a lot of fun with the girls."
And it's no surprise, as Kylie—who shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 14 months, with Jason—isn't afraid of confrontation when necessary.
"I am almost six feet tall, and I'm not thin—I will hold my ground," she said on the September episode of the podcast. "I said what I said!"
And Kylie understands that Jason's fame—as well as that of Travis and his romance with Taylor Swift—also means that sometimes fans will approach him for photos, which they are happy to do, but sometimes they don't think it's appropriate.
"Outside of the very rare—we're trying to do something quickly, or we're having dinner just the two of us or something sneaks in to get a picture or an autograph—outside of that," she explained, "I think he appreciates it."
It's clear the pair will always have each other's back. Keep reading to see where it all began for Kylie and Jason.
Jason Kelce doesn't want you to know he met his wife Kylie Kelce on a dating app. Too bad she wasn't afraid to reveal how their relationship began in the Prime Video Kelce documentary.
"Jason won't let me lie about this," Kylie shared. "We met on Tinder."
When Kylie first encountered Jason's profile, she didn't recognize the Philadelphia Eagles center, explaining, "None of his pictures showed Eagles football."
However, after she and her friends thought he looked "kind of familiar," they did what millennial women do best: A Google image search. And when Kylie put a name to the face, she was confident she was being played.
"It can't be him," she remembered thinking, "it's a catfish."
Still, she took a chance. And in 2015, she shared the first photo of the couple on Instagram, writing, "Thank goodness you swiped right too."
While Jason and Kylie ultimately hit it off, their first date didn't go according to the game plan.
"You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk," Kylie revealed on Jason's New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce.
Though he was admittedly "inebriated," Jason said, "I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight."
Still, Kylie admitted it took her awhile to fully commit to the idea of being in a relationship with a professional athlete.
"I didn’t tell anyone who I was dating," she explained. "The last thing I wanted was to be like, 'I think I’m falling for this guy and then have him be like, 'Oh, I have six other girls waiting,’ which is the stereotype of a football player."
However, in hindsight, Kylie admitted. "It's entertaining that there was any hesitation at all."
"Our dynamic made it so not that I was in a relationship with a professional athlete," she continued, "it was very much that I was in a relationship wth Jason whose profession was football."
She said yes! But only after putting up with some of Jason's B.S.
During the Sept. 7 episode of the New Heights podcast, the couple shared their engagement story, which Jason prefaced by admitting he is not a "romantic" person.
The NFL star proposed to Kylie in his car while they were leaving her parents' house.
"I couldn’t figure out how to inconspicuously go back into the house," he explained, "because if I was like, 'Hey I gotta go talk to you dad for a second,’ it would have been very odd of me to say that."
Instead, Jason went with, um, option No. 2: "When we got in the car, I said, 'Ky, I’m sorry but I gotta take a s--t.'"
However, Kylie immediately knew Jason was up to something when he returned minutes later. "He came back out and I said, 'Jason, I know you didn’t just go in there and take a s—t, it usually takes you 20 minutes.'"
Jason then cut the bulls--t and got down to business.
"He said, 'This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,'" Kylie recalled, "and I immediately started crying because I knew what was happening only because he referenced being romantic."
Two months after winning his first Super Bowl, Jason added an even more special ring to his collection when he and Kylie tied the knot in Philadelphia.
To celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary, Kylie shared some throwback pictures from their wedding day.
"One year ago today we stood in front of our closest friends and family and vowed our love and commitment to each other," she wrote. "I am so beyond grateful that I get to share my life with this man."
The couple welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce, on Oct. 2. And to celebrate Wyatt's first birthday, Kylie shared several photos from the delivery room on Instagram.
"One year ago this little bug was snuggled up on my chest for her first night out in the world. I will never get tired of your cuddles, Wy," she wrote. "Also, swipe to see what is truly one of my favorite photos in my phone. Mid-push, veins popping out of my head, and the biggest cheesin grin on Jason’s face. Minutes later, we were parents."
The Kelces welcomed their second child, daughter Elliotte Rya Kelce, into the world on March 4.
Kylie shared a sweet video of Elliotte to celebrate her six-month birthday, writing, "Full of smiles, laughs, and sweetness."
And, for her first post of 2022, Kylie captioned a photo of Elliotte, "Best thing to come out of 2021."
When Jason and Travis faced off against one another at the 2023 Super Bowl, Kylie had a very special guest attending the game with her.
"Kylie's bringing her OB because she's going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game," Jason said on the podcast. "That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it's officially scripted!"
Travis joked, "We're in The Matrix, there's no f--king way."
While Uncle Trav may have won the Kelce Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles, Jason received an even sweeter prize two weeks later when he and Kylie welcomed their third daughter.
"Yesterday little lady #3 joined us," the couple shared on Instagram. "Bennett Llewellyn Kelce 8lbs. 5oz. and 21inches long."
Their daughter was named in honor of Jason's grandmother through Bennett's middle name, Llewellyn.
"It's Grandma Mary's maiden name," Jason shared on New Heights. "I wanted to honor Grandma Mary, who is now resting in peace. She had a good run."
Kylie and all three daughters visited Jason at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, with the couple sharing pics in a joint Instagram post.
"Here for the Rita's and obstacle courses with dad after practice," the caption read.
Jason's dad skills were on full display in the Kelce documentary on Prime Video, in which Kylie shared her honest thoughts on Jason's retirement.
"I always tell people that no matter what happens with football, how it ends," she said, "I would like him to retire when he's still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably."
