Jason Kelce is officially entering his Monday Night Football era!
On Tuesday, May 14, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, celebrated his official welcome by embracing and lifting Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson into the air as she introduced him at the Disney upfront — an event where the network announces new programming lineups.
Following his NFL retirement on March 4, Kelce will be ESPN’s new Monday Night Countdown commentator.
“I feel incredible,” he said onstage at the event. “I know what it takes to be great — it takes a great team. I am more than psyched to participate in all the shenanigans that’ll take place this season.”
Kelce continued, “I have three wonderful daughters, and my wife K and I, we’ll be taking full advantage.”

The former pro athlete and his wife Kylie Kelce have been married since 2018, and have three children together: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1.
While onstage, Jason also joked with Brunson, 34, about whether or not he would be wearing a shirt for his new gig.
“Will you wear a suit? Or go topless?” the actress asked. “Gametime decision.”
Her joke referenced Jason’s January antics after watching his younger brother Travis Kelce score two touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs during their divisional round win against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
At the time, his spouse also went viral for “looking absolutely unfazed in the back,” a testament to just how much she’s used to his playful persona.

Last month, reports surfaced that Jason would be joining ESPN as a commentator after an article was published by The Athletic. However, the move was not officially announced until Tuesday.
“It’s upfront season in New York and it gives me great pleasure to say to you all, ‘We got him!’” ESPN SportsCenter host Scott Van Pelt said during a brief on-stage interview with their new hire, per Deadline.
“It all hits you at once,” Jason said of the transition from being on the field to becoming a broadcaster. “You almost remember the adversity more than you do success. A lot of emotions get baked into it. But I look forward to starting the next chapter of my career.”

In a world captivated by the glitz and glamour of the British royal family, one couple's fairy tale romance has taken a tumultuous turn. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, once hailed as the epitome of modern love, sought refuge in the US three years ago, hoping to escape relentless media scrutiny and forge their own path.
However, recent rumors have cast a shadow over their idyllic existence, suggesting that their dream life may be crumbling beneath the surface.
Whispers of marital discord and potential separation circulate as the world eagerly awaits the truth behind Meghan and Harry's alleged struggles.
Speculation began when the couple failed to commemorate their wedding anniversary with the customary social media post, raising eyebrows and fueling speculation about the state of their relationship. Reports emerged suggesting that Prince Harry had been contemplating alternative living arrangements if a separation were to occur.
Noted biographer Tom Bower claimed that the cracks in the couple's relationship had deepened due to Prince Harry's realization of Meghan's true nature. Bower's allegations sparked controversy and prompted discussions about the couple's motivations and the authenticity of their public personas.
Rumors swirled about the involvement of a mysterious figure known as the "Big Man Behind Meghan and Harry," with speculation pointing to Ty Warner, who allegedly harbored a crush on Meghan and provided them with support during their time of need.

Reports surfaced suggesting that Meghan made an unexplained visit to the San Cedro Ranch, a location where Prince Harry was not scheduled to be present, fueling speculation about possible infidelity or marital strain.These allegations, coupled with rumors of extensive counseling and an imminent divorce, further captivated readers, leaving them eager to uncover the truth behind the couple's troubled relationship.
The unique circumstances surrounding Meghan and Harry's transatlantic move drew attention to the legal ramifications of a potential separation.
California law stipulates that Meghan could secure primary custody of their children, granting Prince Harry visitation rights contingent on his willingness to attend therapy.
This legal nuance added complexity to the alleged marital issues as readers grappled with the potential implications for the couple's future.
As the world eagerly anticipated King Charles's coronation, Meghan Markle's conspicuous absence fueled further speculation about the state of her marriage.
Lady Colin Campbell claimed to have heard that Prince Harry had reached out to five divorce lawyers, suggesting the couple's relationship was teetering on the brink of collapse. These shocking revelations only intensified readers' curiosity, prompting them to delve deeper into the unfolding drama.
Amidst the plethora of rumors and allegations, some commentators theorized that Harry and Meghan themselves may have orchestrated calculated leaks to maintain their relevance in the public eye.
The suggestion that the couple was deliberately fueling speculation added a layer of complexity to the narrative, leaving readers grappling with the possibility that the entire saga might be a carefully constructed performance.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's journey from fairy tale romance to rumored marital turmoil has captured the world's attention. As whispers of separation and discontent continue to reverberate, readers are left yearning for answers.
Only time will tell whether these allegations hold any truth or whether the couple's love story will endure.
In a world where perception often obscures reality, the ultimate unraveling of Meghan and Harry's relationship promises to be an enthralling saga that captivates audiences around the globe.
The Palace has be warned that a potential move could spark backlash from the public if it’s given the go ahead.
A royal expert has claimed that it’s unlikely that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be stripped of their titles.
Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Royal Beat that it’s unlikely Meghan, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, will be stripped of their royal titles by King Charles III, even though they quit their royal duties in 2020.

“I don’t think anything will happen to the titles because, if they lose their titles, Harry is still a prince of the blood and Meghan, instead of being the Duchess of Sussex, [would] be Princess Henry,” Seward said, according to The Mirror.
She went on to suggest that were the Palace to strip the pair of the titles it could be seen as “unkind” move by the public.
“That really would [confuse the Americans],” she added. “I think [it’s] probably best just to leave it because it looks unkind, it looks unnecessary.”
Prince Harry was born Prince Henry Charles Albert David, but goes by Harry. If Meghan lost her title as Duchess of Sussex, she would technically be called Princess Henry, since it’s royal tradition that a princess takes an official title with her husband’s name.
The same rule applies for Kate Middleton, who is technically Princess William — but is referred to as the Princess of Wales.

Seward said Harry and Meghan will likely be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex forever.
“The Queen gave them the titles, let them keep them – they’re going to be ‘H and M’ anyway,” she said.
“I think the best thing is to leave them, ignore them, and let them get on with it – which is really what the Palace and the Royal Family are doing.”
Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior working members of the Royal Family in 2020, and they now live in California with their two children Archie, four, and Lilibet two.
Royal author Tom Quinn recently claimed that Charles, 75, and William, 41, “have had lengthy discussions about stripping” the couple of their royal titles.
However, he doesn’t believe the king and his heir will make the move.
“They are terrified this would backfire and make the situation worse,” Quinn told The Mirror last month. “The last thing they want is to give the renegade royals something else to complain about.”
