Kylie Kelce revealed what she bought her husband, Jason Kelce, following his retirement from the NFL.

Kylie, 32, shared a video of the gift via her Instagram Story on Monday, April 22, revealing a wooden model of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Stadium. Engraved at the base of the structure was her husband’s name along with his uniform number — 62 — and details from his 13-year career, including his six First Team All-Pro wins, seven Pro Bowl championships and the Eagles’ 2018 Super Bowl victory.

“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,” she captioned the video, praising designer Dana Theobald.

In a separate clip, Kylie showed a closer look of the model, writing, “Thank you so much @danatheo.designs for your patience and the perfect retirement gift! It meant the world to me!”

“I still remember the moment she walked through the door,” Jason gushed. “The first instance is burned in my retina. It was like she glided through the opening, an aura around her. Then she started talking, and I thought, ‘Man, is this what love feels like?’ She was beautiful. And smart. Serious, yet playful. I knew it right away. I think it’s no coincidence I have enjoyed my best years of my career with Kylie by my side. Every accolade I’ve ever received has come with her in my life.”
