Kelly Monaco is having some memorable experiences off-screen. The General Hospital favorite gave a rare glimpse into her personal life in a new update. She recently took a trip with her family to a place very near and dear to her heart.
“A day that could only happen in Philly,” Monaco’s Instagram post began. The actress traveled to Philadelphia to spend the day at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp. She got to meet Jalen Hurts, Cooper DeJean, Cameron Latu, Landon Dickerson, and also actor Scot Teller from I Play Rocky. She then wrapped up the day “cheering on the @phillies.”
She added, “The best part? Sharing it all with @kellysmom1, my nephew @_kalebb, and one of my closest friends @daveophilly. 20+ years of friendship, two Philly kids, and somehow Dave always finds a way to make every visit home unforgettable. Go Birds. Go Phils. Philly, you never disappoint. #FlyEaglesFly #RingTheBell #PhillyPride.”
Monaco is a Philadelphia native, so she was thrilled to get the opportunity to hang with the Eagles alongside her family. The 50-year-old and her mom proudly posed with Eagles players on the field. She was also able to snap a photo of the Eagles quarterback. Monaco shared videos from the Philadelphia Phillies game and showed off her hand as she tried on one of the team’s World Series rings. Kristen Alderson, her former GH costar, commented, “My fellow Eagles sis lookin [fire emoji].”
Back in May, Monaco returned to Instagram after a one-year hiatus. “Today I turned 50!” Monaco wrote on Instagram. “There’s no place like home… coach @__monaco getting me back in shape.”
The soap star has kept a low profile ever since leaving General Hospital in 2024, after 20 years playing Sam McCall. Her beloved character was killed off the ABC soap in 2024. “Still doesn’t make any sense to me,” she captioned a photo from set. Prior to her Instagram return, she made a rare public appearance on Dancing with the Stars in November 2025.
