Jason Kelce’s kids are his biggest fans!
In the latest episode of Kylie Kelce’s new podcast Not Gonna Lie, the wife of the retired Philadelphia Eagles player spoke about navigating motherhood in the spotlight and revealed the exact moment their eldest child of three realized her dad was famous.
The couple shares three children together — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1 — and have a fourth daughter on the way. In the podcast episode, Kylie was joined by fellow football mom and content creator Allison Kuch, who related to many of the same topics of raising a family in the public eye.
At one point during their conversation, they shared stories about getting recognized in public and discussed their respective experiences. But there was one recent “moment,” in particular, that came to mind for Kylie and her daughter Wyatt.

“Just the other day, she was like, ‘I’m such a big fan. Can I take a picture’?” recalls a shocked and near-speechless Kylie of what her eldest child said to her. “I was like, ‘Excuse me? Where did you hear that’?”
“And she was like, ‘That’s what they say to dad.’ And I was like, ‘Okay!’ ” Kylie says with a laugh, shrugging it off. Kutch added, “Kids, they keep you humble!”
Kylie, though, was sure to point out that exposing her kids in very public places isn’t necessarily the norm for her and Jason. “We don’t take them that often just because I can’t always assume that everyone is going to be respectful in a way that I want to display in our life for our kids,” she said.
The expecting mom shared another scenario involving Wyatt learning of Jason’s notoriety that made her laugh. “A couple of years ago, she was like three, and we were out at the beach,” she started.

“We came back to the house and it was probably two or three hours later, so you could tell she was stewing on it. She looked at my husband and goes, ‘Um, are you Jason Kelce?’ He was like, ‘Yes. Is this a pop quiz? What’s going on’?” recalled Kylie with a laugh.
“And [Wyatt] was like, ‘That’s what they asked you at the beach. ‘Are you Jason Kelce?’ ” she recalled, jokingly comparing the child to a “parrot,” saying, “you don’t realize how much they’re soaking in every second.”
For that reason, Kylie said she and Jason are “very tactful about not only posting them” online but also “how much external interaction they’re getting” in the real world. She described her kids’ lives as “padded,” which she doesn’t particularly enjoy.
“It’s a very insulated experience, which is a shame because that’s not how my husband and I grew up. We’re really trying to navigate it — but it is a strange line to toe,” she said.

This isn’t the first time Kylie has opened up about raising kids in the public eye. During an interview with Business Insider in June, she discussed the challenges that she’s learning to navigate with having a famous family.
“I never imagined that Jason and I would be household names in Philadelphia or that strangers would know our kids’ names,” she said, adding, “It has forced some conversations that I didn’t think we would need to have.”
“Honestly, it’s a very fine line and a blurred line when people approach Jason and me and address the girls by name,” she told the outlet. “And it’s no fault of anyone because all of the interactions are based completely on kindness,” she explained.
“Still, it is something that I make a point to address with our girls. We talk about ‘stranger danger’ because being approached by a stranger who knows your name is something I don’t think anyone can prepare you for.”
