Kylie Kelce doesn’t do sex reveals — not that there’s a need to anymore.
Kylie and her husband, Jason Kelce, have three daughters, and with a fourth on the way she now knows “that it’s a girl every time.”
That wasn’t always the case. During her premiere episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, which premiered on Thursday, December 5, Kylie admitted to crying “for a solid 30 minutes” when she learned her second child would also be a girl after initially assuming she was having a boy.
“I’m not big on gender reveals because, I believe, there’s always some level of bias, whether you realize it or not,” she confessed. “When we found out we were having Ellie and Ellie was a girl, I cried for a solid 30 minutes.”
Kylie and Jason share Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 21 months. She announced she was pregnant again in November.
“I’m not talking about that I was sad,” she said of learning she was wrong about the sex of baby No. 2. “I’m talking about a full heaving cry for 30 minutes because I felt different in the beginning of that pregnancy and I had somehow convinced myself in my subconscious not even knowingly that it was a boy. So when I heard that it was a girl, I completely lost it.”
But, like most moms, Kylie’s disappointment evaporated when she met her daughter.
“To be clear, I hold only the slightest bit of guilt about that because then we met Ellie, she was the sweetest, most lovely little girl, and she still is,” Kylie said. “I always tell people we want healthy babies. Everyone thinks we went for a fourth to try for a boy. I knew we were going to get a girl.”
Kylie expanded on her gratitude for having a healthy family, adding that in adulthood she has learned that getting pregnant is not as easy as she was led to believe. Seeing others struggle changed her perspective.
“I’ve said on my TikTok that I had a loss before Wyatt and so it made pregnancy a different experience for me,” she said.
The rest of the family, meanwhile, is still adjusting to the news that another Kelce is about to join the family. When Kylie announced her pregnancy via Instagram on November 22, she posted a photo of Wyatt, Ellie and Bennett all having starkly different reactions to the news. While Ellie was all smiles, Wyatt wore a dramatic, worried expression and Bennett appeared to be in the middle of a crying fit.
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie wrote in the caption. “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!”
