The growing legend of Kylie Kelce captivated much of the internet Tuesday after the mother of three — who is married to retired Eagles center Jason Kelce — shut down an unruly fan’s request for a photo in a now-viral video that captured the heated confrontation in South Jersey.
The clip, which features Kylie putting the aggressive photo seeker in her place, drew wide praise for Kylie online, including from Kelce’s former Eagles teammate Chris Long.
“Barking up the wrong tree lady lol,” Long, a former defensive end and the son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long, wrote Tuesday on X.

Long, who also played for the then-St. Louis Rams and Patriots, announced his retirement in 2019, while Kelce called it a career in March after 13 seasons.
Though Kelce has been enjoying his time away from the field with family and his beloved 92 percenters, the fanbase of the “New Heights” podcast he co-hosts with brother Travis, things took a wild turn over the holiday weekend.

When dining out at Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City, N.J., Kelce was approached to take a photo but declined, according to Philly Chit Chat, with the outlet reporting that’s when the fan got upset and the scene intensified.
Kylie stood up to the individual who allegedly said, “You’ll never be allowed in this town again,” to which she appeared to reply, “I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself.”
The Philadelphia-based “Word to the Wise” podcast reported Tuesday that “multiple witnesses have messaged us and said the Kelce’s did nothing wrong and were so polite.”Margate City Mayor Michael Collins apologized to the Kelces on Wednesday.
“As a father with young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and would like to offer a redo date night with dinner on me,” Collins said in a statement.

The Kelces have not yet addressed the incident as of Wednesday.
A fan favorite, Kylie has long championed causes close to her heart, the Eagles Autism Challenge, in particular.
As her profile has continued to rise, Kylie— who wed Kelce in 2018 — has spoken openly about the glare of the spotlight.
“I almost feel a little guilty that people are so interested and invested in what I’m doing,” she told “Good Morning America” in January. “I’m like, ‘I am trying to scrape applesauce off the couch.’
“This is not that fascinating. So, it’s funny to me. I deeply appreciate the support.”
