Pro dancer who wants her husband to partner with retired NFL star Kylie says Jason Kelce would be her “dream” partner on Dancing with the Stars

Jason Kelce has plenty of spare time on his hands now he’s retired from the NFL.

After landing a high-profile role on ESPN’s Monday Night Football coverage next season, could the Super Bowl winner be in line for another major TV appearance?

Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Jenna Johnson has called the former Philadelphia Eagle her ‘perfect’ partner for the next series of the hit show.

Speaking ahead of what would be her eighth season on the dance floor, Johnson admitted she would love to be partner with a pro football player.

And she admitted Kelce, who also hosts his hit New Heights podcast with brother Travis, would be her ideal dance partner.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Johnson said NFL players would make good partners because ‘they are not afraid to work hard.’

‘A lot of the times with our male celebs, this little girl yelling at them all day to do the cha-cha-cha on time, is probably not the most fun thing always. So, I think that they can handle that,’ she added.

Johnson went on to say that an NFL partner would also mean she can be ‘chucked in the air’ and ‘thrown around’.

Asked about a potential pairing with Kelce, Johnson even offered his wife Kylie a prospective partner too – her husband Val Chmerkovskiy.

She said: ‘He just retired. I think it’s the perfect thing.

‘If his wife wants to do it with Val, we could definitely do that.

‘I know that he has some kids, so we could bond over parenting and stuff.’

Kelce has expressed no interest in appearing on Dancing with the Stars and may not have the time as he balances preparing for his first analyst role with ESPN.

He has signed a multi-year deal with the network, which will see him appear pregame – on Monday Night Countdown – and at halftime. He will also be part of ESPN and ABC’s coverage of the Super Bowl XI in 2027.

The 36-year-old opened up on his new venture on the latest episode of his podcast New Heights with brother Travis.

Jason teased other possible ventures in the future, claiming they were ‘in the works’, but the former Eagles center confirmed that the main part of this deal involves Monday Night Countdown.

Travis offered his congratulations to his older brother, telling him:  ‘I couldn’t be happier for you, dude.

‘We grew up watching all of the legends and ESPN really fueled our sports fandom, our competition, our knowledge of the games we were playing… it’s insane.’

Jason responded by revealing the brothers’ first conversation about the chance to join ESPN.

‘When I called you and we started talking about the different opportunities, I mentioned ESPN in particular, your exact words I think were: “You’re going to be Monday Night Football?”‘ the elder Kelce said.

‘It’s crazy, especially when we were growing up, this was the night that everyone thought of with football. Monday Night Football and now I’m going to be on there with some incredibly talented people – Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark.

‘All these guys offer – not just great expertise but wonderful personalities and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun man. It’s going to be a good time, we’re going to be at the games, travelling around, I still don’t know what I’m wearing so I guess we’ll find out.’
