Kylie Kelce Describes What It’s Like to Go From 3 Kids to 4 in Just 2 Words

Becoming a family of six has certainly been a wild ride for Kylie and Jason Kelce.

The mom of four young girls — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2 and Finnley, 8 weeks — took the whole family for a spin on two occasions so far: Mother’s Day brunch and an Eagles Autism Foundation event.

“If I had to describe the change going from three kids to four kids in two words or less … ‘holy s—’?” Kelce said when she restarted her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast after almost two months of maternity leave.

Then she changed her words: “Let’s go with ‘not terrible.’ That sounds better.”

Then the mom got really, really honest and said, “If you ask me on a day when she does a two-hour stretch night, I could do it in one word, and that word would be ‘f—.’” Kelce really drew out that last word.

Even after having four kids, Kelce said, “I still have no idea what I’m doing.”

But she doesn’t give herself enough credit.

Kelce learned that sitting with baby Finn on the floor is the best way for her older daughters to get some mommy time while also feeling like they’re participating in raising Finn. Wyatt and Ellie have been “super helpful” with their baby sister, she said, fetching diapers and distracting her when she’s upset.

“It’s very sweet to see them mirror what you do with the baby,” Kelce said. “So they will come over and mirror how I talk to her, they ask her questions, they make the ooos and the ahhs so that she can sort of mimic the mouth movements … or at least we pretend she does.”

Bennie, who wasn’t so thrilled to find out she was losing her position as the baby of the family, “likes to pretend like (Finn’s) not there. It’s a fun little game we’re playing.”

Bennie will run at her mother at full speed if she puts the baby down even for a minute, which is why Kelce tries to keep Finn “out of reach” of Bennett at all times.

“Maternity leave for me is figuring out how to do things one-handed again,” Kelce said, practically daring anyone to call maternity leave a “break” or a “vacation.”

“I birthed a child who prefers contact naps,” Kelce said, mentioning that she had been babywearing anywhere between three and five hours a day. “I have been attached to the tiny human for the last 8 weeks.”

Perhaps because her first three kids have taught Kelce that each phase comes to an end, she’s attempting to embrace the newborn weeks, even amid the chaos.

“Since it is my fourth child, I am really doing my best to soak in all of the baby,” she said.
