Jason Kelce may not play for the Philadelphia Eagles anymore, but even after retiring from the team last year, he and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have definitely remained in the spotlight. While their very successful podcasts (Not Gonna Lieand New Heights) continue to grow by the day, so does their adorable family!
Kylie and Jason first met on Tinder in 2014, and they later tied the knot in 2018. Since then, they've welcomed three kids — all girls — into the world together. The fan-favorite couple is expecting their fourth child, and people are so excited for them! However, Jason and Kylie have faced backlash for one parenting decision: how they've decided to name each of their kids. Here's the deal!
Scroll to find out the controversial baby names Jason & Kylie Kelce keep picking out!
With each of their daughters, Jason and Kylie Kelce have picked pretty gender-neutral names: Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. For their fourth, Kylie detailed how she and Jason want to keep the gender-neutral trend going – not just to ensure the name fits their latest addition but also out of fairness to their other kids.
"We're doing a little crossover action. I feel like we have to lean a bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names for our fourth because we have Wyatt, Elliotte, [and] Bennett," she explained on Not Gonna Lie.
"So if we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they'll be like, 'Why did they get a cute girly name?'"
Yet, given how Not Gonna Lie started in December 2024, and Jason has been hosting New Heights with his brother, Travis Kelce, since 2022, plenty of eyes have been watching the couple's every move. And according to Kylie, certain fans haven't hesitated to criticize their baby name selections.
She recently appeared on Call Her Daddy, hosted by Alex Cooper, this February and opened up about some reasons why the public tends to hate on her. Kylie revealed how she and Jason received a ton of backlash following the announcement of all three of their children's names.
"We had that situation with Wyatt; our eldest is Wyatt. People are disturbed by the fact that we've named her Wyatt," Kylie detailed.
Even so, she believes her daughter is "very much a Wyatt," and anyone who meets her daughter always agrees.
Additionally, Kylie shared how, when she was pregnant with Wyatt, people told her not to share her chosen baby name or else she'd "get reactions." But she didn't let that phase her.
"I'm like, 'I don't think you understand. I really don't care at that point.' If I've chosen, we're going with it," she recalled.
In true Kylie fashion, she even quipped about how perhaps her daughters will have an easier time as professionals in the future. After all, with gender-neutral names, Kylie joked that their "emails are going to be answered so fast."
It remains to be seen what baby name Kylie and Jason will pick for their fourth. Fans may just have to wait until her due date in the summer.
