On her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie Kelce has been open and honest about the realities of motherhood, and she’s continuing that trend even when she’s not chatting on her own show! While on Allison Kuch’s Sunday Sports Club podcast, Kylie shared why she thinks having these kinds of conversations is so important for all moms.
“I think that if we had these conversations more often, we would all, as moms and women, not feel this immense sense of guilt that we’ve all put on ourselves and that society has put on us,” she said.

Having a nanny also helps Kylie keep her mom guilt at bay.
Kylie, who is currently pregnant with her fourth daughter, told Allison that it’s “so important” for moms to have some alone time. In her case, hiring a nanny has helped her “step away” at times, she said via People.
“The girls don’t cry when I leave. They’re excited that she’s there,” Kylie said, praising her family’s nanny. “I know that we’ve had enough discussion that she is holding them to the same standards that I hold them to.”
Kylie and Allison also opened up about postpartum depression and ‘baby blues.’
Both Kylie and Allison agreed that having “transparent” conversations about motherhood can help other moms realize they’re not alone in what they’re dealing with. Kylie pointed out how some moms try to look like “aesthetic moms” on social media, which might make it seem like everything is perfect after bringing a child into the world. For Kylie, this wasn’t exactly the case when she welcomed her first daughter, Wyatt, now 5.
She described having “severe baby blues” after Wyatt was born. “We left the hospital and I was like, ‘So you’re telling me that this is mine?'” Kylie admitted.

Allison said that welcoming her daughter, Scottie, and seeing her for the first time was a “beautiful” experience. At the same time, however, it was also “terrifying” – which is something some moms might not feel comfortable admitting because of the guilt and shame they experience. “The first few weeks, I feel like I blacked out,” Allison admitted.
The questions people feel comfortable asking pregnant women are shocking to Kylie.
On the same podcast episode, Kylie revealed that when she was expecting Wyatt, some football fans seemed overly concerned that Kylie’s husband, former National Football league player Jason Kelce, would have to miss a game if Kylie went into labor on game day. “It fascinated me that these people were so invested in the fact that I might steal the Philadelphia Eagles center to watch his first child come into the world,” she said.
On her own podcast, Kylie has spoken up about another frustrating question people have asked her: Are you going to keep trying for a boy? Kylie and Jason are already parents to three daughters, with another one on the way. They don’t have a problem with that, but other people seem to.
When speaking to Allison, Kylie spoke more about people’s “strange” perception that her husband needs to have a son. “People put this strange pressure on the idea that my husband is supposed to have a boy because he’s going to follow in his footsteps and he’s going to be a football player and he needs to play catch in the yard,” Kylie said. “I hate to break it to you, but our kids play catch with him in the house all the time. He’s fine.”
Kylie added that “it is crazy that people feel so inclined, even now, pregnant with a child, they will say to me, ‘Would you still try for a boy?’ No. No, I wouldn’t, actually. Thank you so much for asking.”
