Kylie Kelce’s due date has to be coming up soon. I don’t think there’s been any official confirmation other than “early spring,” but that has to be sometime in April, right? Since announcing her pregnancy in November, Kylie has been very open about it. She’s answered questions and addressed speculation on her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, and to other podcasts and news outlets. People keep asking if she and Jason Kelce are going to keep trying until they have a boy. Kylie tried to shut that sh-t down on an episode of Not Gonna Lie, warning that she would “dropkick” the next person who asked her that.
Well, someone at The Steam Room podcast didn’t get the memo. During a guest spot on last Friday’s episode, Jason was asked about their future family planning plans. Jason responded by letting them know that it’s up to Kylie whether or not she wants to have any more children. Basically, she wanted four kids and Jason’s always been along for the ride. He acknowledged that he just gets to do the “easy” part in baby-making while Kylie has the hard part by having to do the actual baby-growing. He also said that while they hadn’t come to any decision yet, a vasectomy was still on the table.
Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have discussed whether their fourth baby will be their last.
“That’s not my decision. I got the easy part and I’ll keep doing my part,” Jason, 37, quipped during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “I think Kylie’s about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things out. I think this pregnancy has been a long [one] for her. This is our fourth girl [and] this one might be it. We’ll see.”
Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and are parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. They announced in November 2024 that they are expecting again.
According to the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, there “hasn’t been any firm decisions” made on whether their fourth baby will forever be the youngest Kelce child.
We’ve talked about the V-word,” Jason teased on Friday, referring to a vasectomy procedure. “We’ve brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.”
Jason had been specifically asked whether he and Kylie were eager to keep trying until they had a son.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” Jason joked. “We got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do you want to have another child?’ Then, we’ll do that. But, I think as of right now, that’s not definitely happening.”
You know what? Good for Jason for being so open about what pregnancy is really like for women. The more men who hear it and understand that women are not just happy baby-making machines who can get up and cook breakfast the morning after childbirth, the better. Also, kudos for normalizing that a vasectomy is a perfectly valid option because birth control does not have to primarily fall on the woman. I can only imagine the propaganda that men hear on those MRA douche bro pods and websites. Remember Jessie James Decker’s husband, who refused to get a vasectomy because it took his manhood away from him and was then shocked when she got pregnant with an oopsie baby? Yeeeaaah, lol. We need more men with platforms like Jason, who are allies that speak bro-talk and can also get better messaging out there.
It’s gross how many folks assume they are trying for a boy. Kylie said, “We don’t have that recipe,” and it took me out 😂. A military humor guy I follow on insta has four girls, and he’s made several announcements of, my girls understand you when you come up to us and talk about how I must want a boy. Is not just old folks who do it either.
I’m glad Jason is out there talking about vasectomy as an option and talking about deferring to his wife on major life decisions. He’s always clearly proud of her and it’s sweet to see.
I love that these two are out there speaking .. I know they have beaucoup bucks but.. they seem like real folk and I like that about them ~ especially now !
Yeah I regularly forget that they are rolling in it.
This gender thing is so dumb…I know enough kids who realized their gender was not the same as their birth one (and then affirmed those choices as adults) to take birth gender as no more than a temporary (and not so important) placeholder
I hate hate assumptions around gender and what the parents are hoping for. A child is coming into the word and someone tries to make it a disappointment? I have two girls, my SIL has three boys… no, none of us ever thought one of our kids „should” be someone different and yet people like to comment: oh, I guess you’ll never play with cars now… (to my husband), very disappointed sigh when my SIL revealed the third baby is again a boy… like – who asked you???
Two things:
1). Love the vasectomy talk. Check out Gabrielle Blair’s book Ejaculate Responsibly. It’s much more effective for men to take an active role in birth control, women don’t impregnate themselves.
2). The “try for a boy!” dialogue, as a woman with two sisters, has always rubbed me the wrong way. My dad NEVER made us feel like we were in any way less than because none of us were boys, but it’s always strangers saying they feel “bad for him.” As someone up above said- the daughters hear this stuff too, and it sucks.
I just want to say that women don’t *grow* babies, not like people *grow* plants. Women *make* babies, with their bodies. I think our language should reflect that fact.
