Kylie Kelce shares dos and don'ts for conversations with postpartum women

Kylie Kelce, wife of retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, discussed advice for speaking to postpartum mothers on a recent episode of her podcast "Not Gonna Lie."[1] The comments came nearly a year after she gave birth to the couple's fourth daughter.

The Kelces are parents to four daughters born between October 2019 and early 2025: Wyatt Elizabeth, born October 23, 2019; Elliotte Ray, born March 21, 2021; Bennett Llewellyn, born February 22, 2023; and their youngest, born in March 2025.[2][3] Kylie Kelce has previously shared that she experienced a miscarriage.[4]

On the podcast, Kelce listed questions to avoid, starting with inquiries about weight. "Don't ask her if she's back to her pre-baby weight yet. Better yet, don't ask her about her weight at all," she said.[1] She added, "Pre-baby weight Kylie? Pre-baby Kylie? ... My body built a whole a-- human being, OK?"

Kelce also advised against asking about future pregnancies, such as "when the next baby is going to be on the way" or whether families would "try for a boy." She noted, "You are looking at a woman who has had four children in what was it, six years?"[1]

Another taboo topic, per Kelce, is concern over a child not reaching milestones by their first birthday. "If your kids are having delays and/or are not meeting the thresholds, that's OK, too," she said, recounting differences among her children, including one early talker and another who spoke around 18 months.[1]

Jason Kelce retired from the NFL on March 5, 2024, after 13 seasons with the Eagles, where he earned six Pro Bowl selections and won Super Bowl LII.[5]
