Kylie Kelce Praises Husband Jason for His Patience with Their 4 Daughters

Kylie Kelce is celebrating her husband Jason Kelce’s parenting skills.

On Wednesday, Dec. 3, the podcaster, 33, introduced her husband at the March of Dimes 43rd Annual Sports Luncheon, held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, as he accepted the March of Dimes Sports Achievement Award.

As she spoke about the former NFL player, 38, Kylie praised Jason for demonstrating his patience with their four daughters — Finnley “Finn,” 8 months, Bennett, 2, Elliotte, 4, and Wyatt, 6.

“And after hearing more about the mission of the March of Dimes, I realized just how aligned he is with this work. The idea that every family deserves support, that every baby deserves a strong start, and that no parents should ever have to face fear or uncertainty alone,” Kylie said.

“Jason carries [that] not just publicly but personally every day with our girls and within our community,” she continued. “What most people never see are the private moments, the time he gives, the conversations he has, because there’s a lot of why in our house right now and he has the patience to answer ‘why, why, why.'”

“He doesn’t do it because anyone’s watching. He does it because it’s who he is at his core. It doesn’t just make him a great athlete, but a great man.”

During the Thursday, Dec. 4 episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, the mom of four revealed what her three older daughters are asking for for Christmas.

“The girls are asking for some new dolls, always,” she shared of her daughters. “Then Benny wants lipstick, and Ellie will probably take any stuffy under the sun.”

Kylie said she’s not an early wrapper, noting, “I’m gonna order the gifts now, and then they’re gonna sit in the closet until I speed wrap them on Christmas Eve.”

She said she isn’t a fan of opening presents in front of others either, saying, “I don’t wanna disappoint people with my reaction. I just don’t want you to look at me for a reaction, and for my reaction to be underwhelming. The thought of that makes me wanna cry.”

However, her favorite part of the holiday season is seeing her own kids’ reactions when they open their presents.

“I do love watching people, specifically my tiny humans, open them during the holidays because their little faces on Christmas morning. Are you kidding me?” she said.
