Jason Kelce, the beloved former Philadelphia Eagles star, is back in his hometown, and he’s making the most of it by connecting with fans at some of South Philly’s favorite spots.
Fresh off a trip to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, Kelce was seen enjoying the local food scene and posing for photos with enthusiastic admirers.
On Friday, August 9, the 36-year-old football alum was spotted at Stargazy, a London-style eatery in South Philly. Kelce, who was all smiles, posed outside the restaurant holding a tote bag emblazoned with its logo. The visit was made even more special with the appearance of musician Sam Gellerstein, who joined Kelce and chef Sam Jacobson for a memorable photo. “Got to hang with two of the greatest this morning!” the restaurant’s Instagram post read, tagging both Gellerstein and Kelce with the hashtag #gobirds, along with a trio of eagle emojis.
Kelce’s South Philly tour didn’t stop there. He was also seen at Juana Tamale, a popular spot known for its tacos and burritos. In a lighthearted Instagram post, a fan who posed with Kelce in front of his Cybertruck shared their excitement: “I SAID ‘GO BIRDS’ AND A WHOLE A** EAGLE landed!!!! He said buy all the tacos & tamales from us, so we can keep feeding Champs!!!”
Before his South Philly outing, Kelce had been in Paris with his wife, Kylie Kelce, to attend the 2024 Olympic Games. The couple was spotted cheering on Team USA in events like field hockey and rugby. True to his playful nature, Jason was seen sporting a beret during their time in Paris, embracing the local culture with style.
The trip to Paris was particularly nostalgic for the Kelces, as it was their first visit to the city since their honeymoon. In a recent appearance on Green Light with Chris Long, Jason shared that Kylie, 32, impressed the locals with her impeccable French. “Every time she speaks, the Parisians are complimenting her on her accent or they think we’re Canadian,” Jason joked, adding that her language skills helped them blend in more easily.
Now back in Philadelphia, Jason Kelce is clearly enjoying reconnecting with the city’s vibrant community, proving once again why he’s a fan favorite both on and off the field.
