People have lots of love for the Kelce brothers, but that same love extends to their significant others, too. There’s Taylor Swift, of course, but there’s also the fantastic Kylie Kelce. In addition to her own involvement in sports (she’s a field hockey coach), she’s also heavily involved in philanthropic work. This includes her role as Event Consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles’ Autism Foundation.

This is likely why she attended the Eagles’ opening practice last Thursday, giving her the chance to interact with fans. But there was one young fan in particular who couldn’t contain his excitement over meeting the Kylie Kelce — a 4-year-old boy who is autistic. His name is Billy, and he absolutely adores all things related to the Philadelphia Eagles. You can imagine, then, how thrilled he was when Kelce interacted with him so lovingly. See for yourself in the video below!

Billy was brought to the event by his mom, Britt Bernard, and his grandpa, Kevin Bernard. They were already having a great time before meeting Kelce, despite the uncomfortable level of noise. For Billy, and many other autistic people, sensory issues can be highly difficult to manage. That’s why the 4-year-old will often wear headphones to dampen sounds. But Kelce, of course, understands this perfectly, making sure to take an interest in Billy’s adorable headphones.
Kylie Kelce Makes Young Fan’s Day With the Sweetest Interaction
“(Billy) ran up, arms wide open and yelled ‘Kylie!'” Britt recalls. “Kylie immediately gets on my son’s level which is important for any kid, especially a kid with autism.”
Billy truly is the definition of an Eagles fan. After all, not many of us can say that our very first sentence was, “Go Birds!” That’s why it’s safe to say that this interaction will mean the world to Billy and his family for a long, long time.
“It was just 100% genuine care for my grandson,” Kevin adds, “which really melted my heart.”
