Jason Kelce thinks his wife, Kylie Kelce, is still learning to accept fame, despite her recent podcast success.
Jason, 37, said on the Thursday, Aug. 7, episode of the “Exciting Mics” podcast that Kylie’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast is “better” than her and brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. (Kylie, 33, started her podcast in 2024.)
“She’s killing it, she’s doing great,” Jason gushed about Kylie entering the podcast arena before explaining his decision to get into the industry. “Our family has a lot written about it. … Listen, there are people out there who will say things about you and write articles and things like that. A lot of things these days, we live in this Clickbait world, and people will write headlines just to get people to click on articles.”
He continued, “I think Kylie was seeing that more and more, and she was like, ‘I’m tired of everyone else saying things about my family, and I want to be able to express the things that are going on and what I want to say about our family.’ So that was a big reason for that.”
Jason noted that Kylie, whom he married in 2018, “doesn’t like the spotlight.” (Jason and Kylie are parents to daughters Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett, and Finn, whom they welcomed in 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025, respectively.)
“I know it’s hard to believe. She has her own broadcast. She had a lot to do, like, to be comfortable doing it, and I don’t know that she’s still completely comfortable being as well-known as she is now. But she’s killed it. She’s an authentic, genuine person.”
Jason noted that Kylie has an “audience” of women who “want to hear her perspective” and listen to her talk to other mothers or women in sports. “That’s really going well,” he said of the Kylie Podcast.
“I think for a long time, NFL players’ partners were a little bit bastardized by these WAGs and the stories,” he explained. “It became like a show. I think it’s not real for most NFL women. It’s definitely real and true.”
He continued, “But I think that’s one thing she definitely likes to do, is try to just have more of a community that’s grounded in reality, rather than the kind that had been there before.”
