Pregnancy brings with it a host of well-meaning but often intrusive comments from people around you. As soon as your pregnancy is visible, it’s almost as if an open invitation is given for everyone to share their opinions, no matter how unwelcome. Kylie Kelce, expecting her fourth child, has had enough of these unsolicited remarks. During the January 9, 2025 episode of her popular podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, she discussed the frustrating and often puzzling questions that come with pregnancy.
Kylie Kelce Calls Out the Unwanted Pregnancy Comments
Kylie, who is married to retired NFL star Jason Kelce, is known for her unapologetic, no-nonsense approach to life. Her latest podcast episode offers a candid take on some of the most annoying pregnancy questions and comments she’s encountered. One that stands out is the incessant query about whether she and Jason plan to “try for a boy.” Kylie’s response to this? A fierce and unfiltered warning: “If another person asks me that, I’m warning you right now, you might get drop kicked.”
Kylie wasn’t just expressing frustration; she was making a powerful statement about the pride she takes in being a mother to three daughters. “I don’t need to have a baby boy. For some reason, I think you want me to have one more than I do,” she added, reflecting on the intrusive nature of such questions. The Kelces are already a family of five, with a fourth child on the way, and Kylie made it clear that their joy does not depend on the gender of their children. “We were meant to have all girls,” she emphasized, reinforcing the deep bond and happiness her daughters bring to their lives.
In addition to confronting gender-specific questions, Kylie offered a practical guide on what not to say to a pregnant person. She expressed her annoyance at comments about her size, particularly ones like “You’re huge,” or “Are you sure it’s not twins?” “Who wants to be told that they look like they’re having more than one baby when they’re not?” she said, recalling a painful experience of being asked the twin question by a close family member. She also shared how hurtful it can be when people comment on how “ready” she looks. “I’m nine months pregnant, so… how would you like me to look?” she quipped.
When it comes to baby names, Kylie advises people to keep their opinions to themselves. “If she chooses to share it with you, feel privileged enough that you get to know that information,” she said. Unfortunately, some people don’t seem to understand this, and Kylie shared a story about revealing a baby name to family members, only to be met with a blank stare and an awkward “Huh?”
Another pet peeve for Kylie is the judgment around parenting choices, especially breastfeeding. “The whole breast is best nonsense—the only reason you’re saying that is to take other women down,” she commented. She went on to say that decisions like breastfeeding are deeply personal and shouldn’t be criticized. Kylie also spoke about how hurtful it can be when people share traumatic birth experiences, especially when you’re in a delicate state of pregnancy. “The timing was just hard on my end,” she admitted, agreeing with the importance of being mindful of others’ emotional states during such a vulnerable time.
Kylie’s approach to pregnancy is refreshingly honest and empowering. She encourages others to ask how pregnant women are feeling, but with an understanding that the response might not always be sugarcoated. She also advocates for personal boundaries, such as not touching someone’s belly without permission, which she stressed is a simple yet important gesture of respect.
