Kylie Kelce has always kept it real, and her latest revelation about becoming a mom of four is no different. The wife of NFL star Jason Kelce and mother to Wyatt (5), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and Finnley (8 weeks), Kylie recently opened up on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast after returning from maternity leave. In her usual candid style, she shared the honest and sometimes chaotic reality of going from three kids to four.
Going From Three to Four: A Big Change, But Not Terrible
When asked to sum up the shift from three kids to four in just two words, Kylie’s first reaction was: “‘Holy s—,’” she laughed. But realizing she might need something a bit more PG, she quickly followed up with: “‘Not terrible.’” Yet, being the honest mom she is, Kylie didn’t hold back, admitting, “If you ask me on a day when she does a two-hour stretch night, I could do it in one word, and that word would be ‘f—’.”
Kylie’s admission reflects the daily rollercoaster of parenthood, and she’s not afraid to acknowledge the tough moments. Despite the exhaustion and chaos, Kylie also knows that her new routine will evolve, just like it did with her first three children.
Parenting Realities: Maternity Leave Isn’t a Vacation
Kylie also shed light on the reality of maternity leave, which for her, isn’t about relaxing or taking it easy. “Maternity leave for me is figuring out how to do things one-handed again,” she said. From babywearing to juggling the needs of her older daughters, Kylie is fully immersed in the whirlwind of newborn life.
She also revealed that her youngest, Finnley, prefers contact naps, and Kylie has been spending three to five hours a day wearing her baby, keeping her close and cherishing those fleeting moments. For a mom with three other kids, it’s a full-time job, and Kylie isn’t sugarcoating it—maternity leave is a far cry from a break.
Big Sisters Stepping Up: Wyatt and Elliotte Are ‘Super Helpful’
Despite the challenges, Kylie is clearly embracing the role of mom of four with grace and humor. She shared sweet moments where her older daughters, Wyatt and Elliotte, have stepped up as “super helpful” big sisters. They’ve been assisting with everyday tasks, like fetching diapers and comforting Finnley when she gets upset. It’s clear the older girls are eager to be part of the caregiving process, and Kylie has even noticed them mirroring her in how they interact with Finnley, making baby sounds and mimicking her conversations with the newborn.
Though Bennett (2), the former baby of the family, is still adjusting to her new role, Kylie says she’s taking it in stride, even if that means playing a game of pretend where Bennett “pretends like Finnley’s not there.” It’s a little playful drama, but Kylie also shares that Bennett is quick to run to her mom if Finnley is ever put down, a sign of how much she still craves the attention of the baby of the family.
Soaking in Baby Moments Amid the Chaos
Having already experienced the early stages of motherhood with her first three children, Kylie is doing her best to embrace these newborn weeks, even though they come with their fair share of chaos. She acknowledges that this is her fourth child, and she’s learning to cherish the moments of babyhood despite the inevitable exhaustion.
“It’s easy to get caught up in the craziness, but since it’s my fourth child, I am really doing my best to soak in all of the baby,” she said. It’s a reminder that even in the most hectic times, Kylie is focused on embracing the fleeting moments of motherhood and cherishing her growing family.
