Kylie Kelce is no stranger to parenting, but she’s still constantly humbled by her kids. Recently, Kylie opened up about something her 5-year-old daughter Wyatt said to her about her appearance.
On the July 17, 2025, episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce, Kylie told guest Mandy Moore that Wyatt made a comment about her stomach. “I also like to share some of the more honest or humbling things my girls have said to me,” she said. “I’ve been told that I have a big butt. My oldest called me evil a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, specifically, she pressed on my stomach and said, ‘it looks like you still have a baby in there.'”
Kylie welcomed her youngest daughter just three months ago, on March 30, so she’s still freshly postpartum. She and husband Jason Kelce are parents to four girls: Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months.
While some moms would feel self-conscious about still “looking pregnant,” Kylie knows it’s unreasonable to expect your body to “bounce back” after pregnancy and childbirth. “You know what’s f—ed up?” Kylie said on the podcast. “The phrase ‘bounce back’ after pregnancy. Here’s the problem: Every single person I’ve seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time.”
She continued, “For all the people who are in the comments saying things like, ‘You look fantastic after having Finn,’ or, ‘You look amazing after having your fourth,’ first of all, I know that you mean that nicely, but at the end of the day, if I looked like this and I hadn’t just had my fourth child, would you say I look tired? Because, yes, I’m very tired.”
We need to focus less on women’s physical appearance after birth, and more on their physical and mental well-being. Kylie explained: “My point is that we don’t need to comment on the fact that a woman is postpartum and how she is doing with her postpartum journey physically.”
Kylie takes issue with the whole idea of “bouncing back,” especially because everyone’s journey after pregnancy is different. She said, “I don’t think that we need to bounce back. And also, there are some things that we as women who have just grown humans cannot bounce back. I can’t bounce back my stretch marks. They’re with me forever.”
It’s natural for us to compare ourselves to one another, especially in the social media era, but it isn’t healthy. Kylie explained, “We do not need to compare ourselves, ladies. You don’t need to compare yourselves to the person you were before you had kids because, news flash, she didn’t f—ing have kids. OK? And you don’t have to compare yourself to those around you, because there is beauty in the fact that we are unique from each other.”
