Jason Kelce, Accepting March of Dimes Honor, Recounts Wife’s 2018 Miscarriage

He urges open discussion of pregnancy loss, crediting support from teammates, coaches, friends and relatives for helping them cope.

Overview

  • Kelce spoke at the March of Dimes’ New York Sports Luncheon, where he received the Sports Achievement Award.
  • He described being overwhelmed by grief during team activities in 2018, recalling retreats to his truck during practices and meetings.
  • He noted the pregnancy was confirmed in August 2018 and the loss occurred in November on his birthday, a day Kylie has also described as especially painful.
