The Classic Author You *Need* to Read Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Sometimes, the sheer number of titles we have on our TBR list can overwhelm us to the point of indecision. While we have learned how to read more, the summer reading lists, must-read new adult books and body positive YA book lists make us feel like we can’t possibly pick our next summer read. The #fomo is real, y’all. That’s why we’ve now decided to put our fiction fate in the hands of the zodiac and choose our next author based on our best horoscope match. Read on for the classic author you should read ASAP — the stars wouldn’t steer you wrong!

1. Harper Lee: From standing up to childhood friend Truman Capote’s schoolyard bullies to abandoning a law degree to pursue her passion for writing, Lee has always followed her independent streak — much like you, Aries. So whether you’re re-reading your well-worn paperback or delving in for the first time, Lee’s striking and original debut novel To Kill a Mockingbird should definitely be your next read.

Taurus

2. Ernest Hemingway: There’s no one more grounded, earthy and pleasure-seeking than you, Taurus. Except Ernest Hemingway, of course. Your practical streak will appreciate Hemingway’s sparse writing style and your stubborn horns are a perfect parallel to Hemingway’s devotion to a heady bullfight (literal and metaphorical!). Take on The Sun Also Rises or his novella The Old Man and the Seanext time you’re looking for a beach read.

Gemini

3. Mark Twain: You’re curious, quick-witted and changeable, Gemini, so we’re sure that Twain’s trademark cheeky humor will totally tickle you. His inherent sense of adventure in Huckleberry Finn is something you can also relate to, though you’re just as happy to get down with a more serious tome like The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson. No matter how you’re feeling (and we know that can change by the minute, Gem), Twain is sure to entertain you.

Cancer

4. Jane Austen: Dear sweet, sensitive Cancer, is there anyone more adept at filling that huge heart of yours than Jane Austen? We think not. Austen’s mashups of hopeless romanticism and cynical wit are lovely complements to your emotional, imaginative side. Plus, you’re one of the most persuasive people we know, Cancer, and well, Austen has a whole book written on the subject. If you’ve already read Persuasion, go for one of her five other major novels.

Leo

5. JD Salinger: You’re popular, trendy and dramatic, Leo, with just a touch of self-centeredness (we mean that in a loving way, promise!), so it should come as no surprise that JD Salinger is your classic author comrade. The author of the beloved The Catcher and the Rye created one of the most memorable characters of all time in Holden Caulfield, at once vulnerable, uncompromising, likable and confident. It’s an unusual mix, but one you can totally relate to.

Virgo

6. John Steinbeck: Steinbeck is one of the great classic American authors who really captured the pioneering, hard-working spirit of the early generations in the US. Sound like someone else you know, enterprising Virgo? You’re a perfectionist in the best way, industrious and enthusiastic in every project you tackle, so Steinbeck’s sprawling, dynamic novels like East of Edenwill completely captivate you.

Libra

7. George Orwell: The scales of justice inform every decision you make, diplomatic Libra, so we know you’ll respond immediately to George Orwell’s classic novels outlining the perils and prejudices of modern society. Animal Farm and 1984 tackle themes of oppression and discrimination, both of which are sure to inspire your passion for social justice. Orwell delivers these heavy topics with a healthy dose of humor and wit, making them extra palatable to your gentle nature.

Scorpio

8. Mary Shelley: Shelley’s entire life was laced with passion and drama, starting with when she ran away with her older, married lover when she was just a teenager — and we know how much you like passion and drama, Scorpio. Your brave, resourceful side will appreciate that Shelley dared to write the dark tale of Frankenstein as (gasp!) a woman, though not without concealing her identity at first to ensure she was taken seriously.

Sagittarius

9. Kurt Vonnegut: Has anyone ever told you how funny you are, Sag? We’re betting yes. That’s why we’re so amped to connect you with Vonnegut. The ’70s satirist had his own particular brand of humor that we know you’d especially appreciate. And while he may come across a bit caustic in his writing, Vonnegut was actually a serious humanist at heart, which speaks to your enthusiastic, optimistic side in spades. If you’ve already read Slaughterhouse-Five, try his later novel Breakfast of Champions.

Capricorn

10. F Scott Fitzgerald: There’s no more fulfilling feeling to you, ambitious Cap, than finding success through self-made means, whether that’s working hard to get a promotion, starting your own business or raising a family. The American Dream means everything to you — as it does for F Scott Fitzgerald. You’re sure to revel in his gilded, romantic fantasies of what it means to “have it all” (and often the eventual downfall) for his success-driven, stubborn characters. If you’ve already read The Great Gatsby, try The Beautiful and the Damned on for size (it was Serena van der Woodsen’s favorite book, after all!).

Aquarius

11. Virginia Woolf: As a quintessential air sign, Aquarius, you know a little something about “having your head in the clouds.” You’re thoughtful, expressive and a true original, which is why we think the inventive Virginia Woolf is a perfect literary match for you. Her non-linear, casual writing style meshes with your own freewheeling way of speaking and thinking, so go ahead and dive into Mrs. Dalloway!

Pisces

12. William Faulkner: It’s safe to say you’re the most artistic sign of the zodiac, Pisces, and have a specific understanding of what it means to be creative. William Faulkner’s peculiar, one-of-a-kind way of writing certainly speaks to an elevated way of self-expression. Faulkner definitely isn’t for everyone, but he’s definitely for you. As I Lay Dying is one of the most easily digestible if you’d like an introduction (plus, as a water sign, the “My mother is a fish” motif from the book will surely resonate).

The Sun is in the jovial sign of Sagittarius. We might all feel more social, hopefully a little more lighthearted, and more willing to engage in communal philosophical conversations. We may take a broader perspective and will be eager to learn something new. Focus on expanding your consciousness. Take advantage of this heightened energy to work toward completing any ongoing projects. Whatever you do, lean into this expansive energy — now this the time for it!

What's happening astrologically during the week of November 24 to December 1, 2024?

Sivan Weitz

Mercury goes retrograde on November 25. Do not to fear or dread these periods when Mercury is retrograde; instead, view them as a perfect opportunity to review and reevaluate your actions. Slow down, get organized, and double-check any documents before sending them out. Don’t leave things to the last minute. Pack early, and make sure you leave plenty of time if you're traveling over the holiday weekend. Flexibility and a sense of humor are essential.

On November 27, the Sun makes a beneficial trine to Mars, the planet of action. We will feel this energy all week. It should be a wonderfully optimistic time when self-confidence is high. We can be courageous and enthusiastic, so if you need to approach your superiors with a request for a raise or more responsibility, this week supports those brave actions. Be sure to exercise and move your body; dancing and playing can be especially joyful and fun. This energy is also quite attractive, so if you need extra motivation to ask someone out, you might find the courage this week to act on a crush.

Cayla Evans

Also, on November 27, Venus, the planet of love, harmony, and values, squares Chiron, the wounded healer and Shaman of the Zodiac. This challenging aspect might bring up wounds around self-worth or self-esteem. Past traumatic experiences involving relationships or finances might resurface. Balancing the Sun - Mars harmony with this challenging Venus - Chiron aspect is key. We all have the potential to heal and overcome a lack of confidence or insecurities about self-worth. We also have the opportunity to help others overcome self-consciousness or anxiety. Use the enthusiasm and optimism of Sagittarius to help one another.

There is a New Moon in Sagittarius on November 30, opposite Jupiter in Gemini. This is a perfect time to kick off the holidays, as we will find ourselves optimistic, generous, and cheerful. Be aware that Jupiter can amplify responses, leading to overindulgence, overpromising, or being overly optimistic. This is usually not a problem because everyone is feeling happy, but if you need to monitor your consumption or expenditures, pause before acting. Use Mercury retrograde as a reminder to take a breath and reevaluate any big purchases or acts of generosity. Take time to be still and plan what you’d like to accomplish this month. There is abundant energy for success if we focus and are clear about our ambitions.

I look to the sky and the planets to help navigate the world around us. If you’d like to know more about how these and other transits affect your life, please contact me for a personalized reading! SevenSistersAstrology.com

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

You should feel extra energized this week. You'll have the vitality and inspiration to work on creative projects. You might be tempted to work alone in the name of expediency. However, collaborating with others will require patience, which will benefit you during Mercury retrograde. Also, don’t forget that your leadership skills are best utilized when inspiring and empowering others. Include others, even if it initially feels frustrating. Try the mantra: The more, the merrier!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Home and family are on the front burner this week. You might feel nostalgic for your childhood. It’s a good time to act on any projects around the home. Actively addressing maintenance issues or remodeling projects will make you feel more secure. Take a trip to the thrift store to add color or brighten your home. Take care of yourself in the process and refrain from overextending your resources. Nurture your loved ones, but don’t forget to nurture yourself too.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Do you have a writing or video project that would benefit from focused effort? This week offers you the energy and inspiration to complete a communication effort. The key and the challenge will be to quiet your mind so you can focus. Find a quiet corner in a library or retreat to your office, and set up a schedule to discipline yourself. Practice meditation techniques and stick to a physical exercise routine to stay centered and make the most of this increased energy. Take care not to argue with others; instead, direct your energy toward accomplishing your goals.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

This week might find you dreaming of an entrepreneurial project to make more money. Or you might be ready to invest in yourself to advance your earning capabilities.

Refrain from impulse buying and watch your credit card expenditures. Your resources are a key focus this week; prioritize wise expenditures and money-making opportunities. Another way to use your money wisely is to focus on health — start the holiday season determined to stay healthy. Consider purchasing a punch card at a nearby yoga or Pilates studio.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Take charge of your life, but be careful not to overpower those around you as you pursue your dreams. You can assert yourself effectively — assertiveness is not aggression. Put action plans in place to advance your goals. You'll be more charismatic and attractive the more confidence you display.

There is intrinsic value in what you contribute to your community. Are you motivated by personal aspirations, or are you pursuing something purely for external validation?

What is truly matters is feeling pride and self-satisfaction in your work. It's a great time to refine your professional aspirations. Your substantial natural charisma can be leveraged to expand your business or professional presence through self-promotion.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

You might feel restless and eager for an adventure, and travel could provide a great opportunity to explore and learn about the world around you.

You loved our fall trends for women over 50 story so much we just couldn't wait to share winter ideas with you! Though there's not a huge difference between what's popular during both seasons, there are small ways you can transition your wardrobe. From tailored denim to scarf coats (our favorite), here are five winter trends women over 50 can seamlessly wear!

Explore the top 5 winter trends women over 50 can easily style

  1. Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt
  2. Mango Suede Leather Loafers
  3. Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag
  4. Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater
  5. Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

1. Tailored Denim

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor The Denim Trouser

Denim is a timeless classic that's been around for as long as any of us can remember. It also comes in a variety of styles, making it easy to style no matter your age. What makes tailored denim so special — like this pair of Ann Taylor trousers — is it's ability to be appropriate for business casual work settings. The classic rinse wash is more ideal for cooler winter days while the flared hemlines give ankle books a nice peek-a-boo feature.

GAP

GAP Classic Button-Down Jean Shirt

A classic button-down shirt with non-stretch denim is another easy style to wear because it can go with almost anything you own. Bootcut jeans? Yep! A suede midi skirt? We love a western moment! However, the most important thing we appreciate about this shirt is that it's made of 95% cotton.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Pia Denim Midi Skirt

Denim skirtshave been been on the style scene for a while and we're sure they're here to stay. To avoid baring too much skin during winter, opt for a midi option like this piece from Banana Republic. It has a similar flared hemline like the Ann Taylor Denim Trousers, making it appropriate for 9 to 5 days, brunch with friends on Saturday, or church on Sundays!

2. Playful Textures

Mango

Mango Suede Leather Loafers

Loafers are an absolute staple during fall and winter, hence why we keep talking about them so much! They're a chic way to elevate even the most basic t-shirt and jeans outfit combinations, plus they work for everyone. Get a suede pair to add subtle texture to your outfit for a fun chic moment.

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants

Corduroy pants are another winter staple that continue to be recycled throughout the years. No matter how hard we try, we keep coming back to them which is why we think they're a great style option for women over 50. Because of their texture, these pants can also add subtle texture to your overall look without creating a huge statement.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Joe's Jeans by Dani Michelle Mia Crop Leather Pants

If you want to wear something a little bolder, you can't go wrong with black leather pants. They're a must-have during colder months, especially if they're lined!

This pair gives you the option to wear them with calf or knee-high boots so that they elongate your frame. Ankle boots are always cute, but they'd slightly throw off the dimensions of these pants! Once you have your chosen footwear, add a cute cardigan or sweater to it for a cozy look that'll receive compliments!

3. Animal Print

Tecovas

Tecovas Sierra Tote Bag

Leopard print is always trending, but that doesn't mean that's the only animal pattern you have to wear. Cow print is another fun way to add a pop of texture to your outfit if you're wearing something monochromatic. Or, you can easily copy the outfit above and look equally as stylish.

P.S. Don't be surprised if you see someone from B+C's editorial team wearing this look!

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Oversized Snake Print Midi Dress

It's okay if wearing cow print feels weird to you because that's not your only option! Snake print is another pattern you can wear, especially if it looks like this Banana Republic midi dress. Instead of the typical depiction of snakes, this dress looks like someone zoomed in on scales and created something that feels more refined.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Add a touch of zebra print to your winter outfit with these calf hair mules by Sam Edelman. They still have a bold factor like the Tecovas tote bag or the Banana Republic snake print dress, but they're not as in-your-face.

4. Shades Of Green

J.Crew

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat

Everyone needs a nice topcoat in their life, preferably in the shade green! We're 100% biased about that because green brings out a person's inner glow and helps ground them based on color psychology. Also, the fact you could wear a sweatsuit with this coat and still look put together makes us excited to share it with you.

Target

Target Bucket Crossbody Bag

Add a pop of color to your outfit with this cute crossbody bag found at Target, everyone's favorite place to shop. The minimal gold hardware gives it such a sleek appearance that we're personally fighting the urge to buy it in black too!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

You can always rely on a sweater to be easy to style! Abercrombie & Fitch's funnel neck version is amazing for anyone who wants to wear a turtleneck without feeling like they're struggling to breathe. We understand they're not always comfortable, but you won't get that with this cute style!

5. Cardigan & Coats

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Brushed Cardigan Sweater Coat

Are you ready to give up cardigans? We figured you'd say no so we're giving the best of both worlds — a cardigan coat. Anthropologie always has the cutest winter styles so this brushed texture was too cozy-looking to ignore. You know what's even more exciting about it? Anthropologie is literally giving you an OOTD idea you can easily recreate at home!

NA-KD

NA-KD Wool Scarf Detail Coat

Protect your neck from the brutal winter winds with NA-KD's scarf coat that'll keep you warm and chic. It's slightly oversized so you're able to wrap yourself up and not have to worry about looking like you didn't put any effort into your look.

Quince

Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Scarf Coat

Go for a shorter option for the days where it's not as cold. You'll still get the same effect from a longer scarf coat without feeling like you'll trip over the hemline. Since Quince's design is wool, you'll still be nice and toasty! Just add a pair of gloves so that your hands don't freeze!

Mercury retrograde has arrived, and we’re in for a smidge of cosmic hiccups this holiday season! Known as the agent of chaos, this retrograde often stirs up misunderstandings and miscommunication. You might experience everything from strange vibes to falling out with friends over trivial conflicts, or even a computer crash that rivals the drama of The Family Stone, where family flaws and secrets come to light. But don’t panic — this is also a time for romantic epiphanies, much like in The Holiday, where unexpected connections bloom. I’ve got you covered with tips to navigate the last Mercury retrograde of 2024 — and for how to keep your holidays merry despite the mayhem.

Read on to understand the ins-and-outs of Mercury Retrograde — plus what it means for your horoscope right now!

​What is Mercury Retrograde?

Cora Pursley

To grasp the significance of Mercury in retrograde, it’s essential to first understand what retrogrades are. As planets orbit the Sun, they follow specific paths, with some moving faster than others. Generally, the closer a planet is to the Sun, the quicker it travels. Occasionally, these planets appear to veer off their usual course; during this time, the Sun's gravitational pull brings them back into alignment, marking the onset of a retrograde period. While this phenomenon is astronomical, it resonates on a collective level, prompting reflection and introspection here on Earth.

Mercury, often referred to as the planet of communication, plays a crucial role in our thought processes, decision-making, and interactions. During its retrograde phase, which occurs multiple times each year, it's important to navigate this period with care. Here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind:

Do’s:

  • Reflect on past decisions and learn from previous experiences.
  • Revisit unfinished projects or ideas that require reassessment.
  • Take time for introspection and self-examination.

Don’ts:

  • Avoid making significant decisions, such as buying a home or starting major renovations. These choices may face unexpected delays and complications.
  • Steer clear of launching new projects, as they may not proceed as planned.

By being mindful during Mercury in retrograde, you can work its energy for thoughtful reflection rather than potential miscommunication and disruption. Remember, as above, so below.

​What is happening during this Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius in 2024?

Sierra White

This Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius begins on November 25 and wraps up on December 15, 2024 — just in time for the holidays! During this quirky period, you might find communication and travel resembling a game of charades — confusing and full of surprises! Sagittarius, with its adventurous spirit and knack for big ideas, nudges you to reflect on your beliefs and long-term goals while dodging any miscommunication like a pro at a holiday buffet. Stay open-minded about new concepts, and by reflecting on past experiences, you can turn any holiday hiccups into cherished memories, making your connections with loved ones more meaningful — just double-check your travel plans.

Here are some common themes to expect during this period:

  1. Miscommunication in Beliefs: Discussions around ethics and worldviews may lead to misunderstandings, so clarifying intentions is crucial.
  2. Revisiting Travel Plans: If you have holiday trips or adventures in mind, be prepared for potential delays or changes. This is a good time to reassess your travel goals or revisit cherished destinations.
  3. Reflecting on Learning: You might feel drawn to revisit past studies or explore new philosophies, making this a valuable time for self-reflection.
  4. Adventurous Spirit: This retrograde may ignite a desire to break free from routine. However, be cautious about making impulsive decisions during the holiday rush.
  5. Open to New Perspectives: While confusion may arise, this is also an opportunity to reevaluate your beliefs and explore fresh ideas with an open mind.

Overall, this period encourages you to slow down, reflect, and be mindful of how you communicate and receive information, enhancing your holiday experiences.

Brit + Co

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Prepare for some soul-searching between sips of eggnog and lively family chatter this holiday season. You might start to wonder if that “special holiday sweater” is really as special as you thought. Conversations could get a bit awkward, so take a deep breath and remember: that patience is key—especially when stories start to loop. Welcome any travel mishaps as unexpected adventures; they’ll turn into hilarious tales to share later!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

This season, it’s all about sharing—whether it’s your holiday spirit or your budget! You may need to tiptoe around sensitive topics, like who gets the last piece of the pie, so choose your words wisely. If plans get delayed, think of it as a chance to cozy up with loved ones instead of stressing out. Reflect on what matters, and don’t be afraid to indulge a little—after all, holiday treats are basically a form of self-care.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Your relationships might resemble a game of charades, with everyone trying to decipher what everyone else really wants. Whether you’re flying solo or in a couple, keep an eye on those festive planning talks—they could definitely use some clarity. Use this time for personal growth, turning any communication slip-ups into lessons that brighten your celebrations and keep the fun rolling. Just remember: clarity is key, so make sure everyone’s on the same page.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Prioritize your well-being and avoid the pressure of overworking yourself amidst the holiday hustle. As you juggle party prep, try not to get swept away in the festive chaos. Communication might feel like decoding a toddler’s drawing, so be clear with family and friends about what you need. Focus on self-care and balance, and you’ll navigate the whirlwind like a pro—maybe with a cozy blanket and a good movie on standby.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Get ready for a holiday season where your creative flair might take a few unexpected turns, like a well-rehearsed dance that suddenly goes off-script. As plans shift, practice your patience and remember what truly sparks joy for you. Reflect on those passions that make you shine, and don’t shy away from the mistakes--they often lead to the best holiday tales. Plus, a little extra glitter never hurt anyone—just try not to get it everywhere!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Prepare for some family dynamics that might feel like a reality show reunion! Miscommunication could lead to some comedic misunderstandings about plans or traditions, so keep your cool. Take this time to reflect on your emotional needs and find a little order in the chaos. Strengthen those family bonds, because nothing says “holiday spirit” quite like sharing a laugh over that one family photo everyone wants to forget!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Expect your conversations to get a little tangled, like last year’s string lights. Short trips or outings could pop up, so embrace the unexpected adventures! Before sharing your brilliant ideas, take a moment to clarify your thoughts; nobody wants to accidentally volunteer to host the next family gathering (unless you really want to). Use these moments to deepen connections, and remember: the best holiday memories are often born from a bit of chaos.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

This season, keep an eye on your spending—it’s easy to get swept up in the holiday cheer! As you tackle gift lists, take a moment to reflect on what truly matters—like the joy of giving without the post-holiday financial headache. Budgeting conversations may get tricky, so approach them with care. Mindful spending will help you enjoy a holiday filled with laughter and love, not a mountain of bills come January!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Expect a bit of soul-searching this holiday, as you clarify your goals amidst the festive bustle. Conversations may go sideways, so take a moment to sort out your intentions before diving in. Cherish this chance for introspection and focus on what truly matters. Meaningful connections will blossom even in the chaos, turning challenges into opportunities for growth—and maybe a few good laughs along the way!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

This holiday season, get ready for some introspection that might feel like unearthing old holiday memories. Past issues could bubble up, so keep your communication open to avoid any misunderstandings. Use this time to recharge and reflect on your needs. By seeing challenges as opportunities for growth, you can craft a more peaceful holiday experience—one that sets a cheerful tone for the New Year!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Friendships may take center stage, with old connections popping back up like holiday cheer. Just be ready for some communication blunders that might leave you scratching your head! Reflect on your social circles and decide who truly aligns with your vibe. Navigating these dynamics thoughtfully can lead to more meaningful connections and memorable festivities—after all, nothing beats laughter with friends over a cup of hot cocoa.

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

This season, your career and public image might demand a bit of attention—like that one holiday decoration that always needs fixing. Communication with colleagues may hit a few snags, so be prepared for some delays. Reflect on your goals and ensure they match your true self. Staying clear and confident during festive gatherings will help you set the right tone for the year ahead—preferably one filled with good vibes and fewer awkward silences!

As much as we love talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce...Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce deserve their time in the spotlight too! They have a loving and hilarious dynamic that's somehow made room for not one, but three kids. And guess what? They recently announced that baby number 4 is coming soon! From their very funny announcement to everything they've said since, there's a lot of fun to unpack here.

Here's everything to know about Jason Kelce & Kylie Kelce's exciting pregnancy!

When did Jason and Kylie announce she's pregnant?

Amazon Prime

Kylie Kelce shared the huge news on Instagram November 22nd! Of course grandma Donna Kelce was the first to leave a comment. She wrote, "🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Love it!!!" Brittany Mahomes also commented by writing, "Ahhhhhh Congrats you guys!!!🥹🤍."

How did Jason and Kylie's other daughters react?

Amazon Prime

In Kylie's same Instagram post, her and Jason's daughters can be seen expressing a range of emotions. There's an 'Eek' expression from their oldest daughter Wyatt, a happy look from their middle daughter Elliott, and pure tears from baby girl Bennett. Kylie wrote, "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! 🤷♀️"

When is Jason and Kylie's fourth baby due?

Amazon Prime

That's TBD! Since the couple just announced their fourth pregnancy, only time will tell when baby girl will arrive. Knowing Jason and Kylie's willingness to be open about their lives, we wouldn't be surprised if they decide to share a due date.

Jason Kelce is taking the news of being an official girl dad like a champ. He told E! Newshe's "got it pretty easy" because "the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought." Not only that, but they've already secured a baby crib! However, Jason was quick to add Kylie's also getting ready for their daughter's arrival. "Kylie's definitely preparing more than I am, because she's actually growing the human being."

“I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters,” he added. "I was telling somebody out there because they're expecting their first — and they look at you. They smile at you. There's just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can.”

He's also excited to watch his daughters grow up with a new sibling. "And hopefully we'll welcome a fourth into this world, and we'll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff."

Though he admits finding "patience" throughout parenthood is difficult, he feels "the most rewarding thing is just smiles."
