NFL fans are praying for and sympathizing with former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie following a heartbreaking family loss.
The Kelce’s dog, Winn, has sadly passed away.
Kylie announced as much via Instagram late Thursday night.
“I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace,” she wrote. “I love you, Winn. You will always be my firstborn child.”
While losing a dog isn’t nearly as bad as losing a loved one, a dog’s death is no small matter, which is why social media showed the former Eagles star and his wife support following the announcement.
“I’m so deeply deeply sorry for your loss,” an IG user wrote in response. “They truly are all love.”
“Winnie girl. What a sweet life she lived,” Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole said.
The Chiefs tight end wrote: “You gave Winn an amazing life Ky!!” along with a pair of sad emojis.

Many of us have gone through this, and no words can ever truly describe the emotions and pain of losing any loved one. Doggos are so very loyal and affectionate that they capture our full hearts.
Prayers for the Kelce family.— Stephen Herrod (@dasramas) March 15, 2024

With Jason now retired, he was probably looking forward to spending some more time with his dog. The passing couldn’t have come at a worse time.
R.I.P, Winn.
