Kylie Kelce Said She Wouldn’t Have Told Jason Kelce If She Went Into Labor On A Game Day When Pregnant With Their First Child Because She Would Never “Steal” Him From The Eagles

Kylie Kelce has opened up about navigating being due to give birth to her and Jason Kelce’s first child, Wyatt, in the middle of football season — admitting she wouldn’t have told Jason if she went into labor on a game day.

“I was supposed to give birth in May, and then Wyatt was born in October, so that was a fun surprise,” she explained on the Sunday Sports Club podcast. “It was the heart of football season.”

Kylie then said that the “most frequent question” she was asked during this time was: “What happens if you go into labor on game day?” — and she insisted that Jason missing a game to be at the birth of their first child was never even an option.

And Kylie went on to say that she was shocked that so many people thought she would “steal” Jason away from the game.

“My dad had to come to the hospital to pick me and my new baby up,” Kylie added, going on to joke: “Just Ubering home, hitchhiking home from the hospital with our new baby!”

Needless to say, Kylie’s comments have divided people, with a clip from the interview causing a stir on TikTok.

“Omg I was expecting her to say then he’s not playing how is that a question? Like he doesn’t want to be there??? I am shocked,” one person commented.

“It’s one game and the birth of your actual child? How is this even a question???” another asked. “He should want to be there for his wife and baby!!”

“This is actually so sad.. nothing more important then family,” somebody else wrote, while one more comment echoed: “this is so toxic. football should never be more important than family.”

But others defended Kylie and Jason’s decision, with one person insisting: “She has her babies delivered at the hospital. It’s not like she’s at home giving birth. She’s just going in to have her baby delivered for her. Husband doesn’t need to be there.”

While another asked: “I mean lets be honest, what would he need to be there for?”

This isn’t the first time that the Kelces’ approach to parenting has got people talking, with Kylie’s revelation that Jason — who retired from the NFL last year — never watches their kids going viral in December.

“My husband could tell me 72 times that he is going to be in the house during the times when I have to leave it,” Kylie went on to explain. “I will still schedule childcare.”

She then confirmed that this sometimes means Jason will be at home and available while somebody else is watching their kids, saying: “If that means that he’s at the house and someone else is there and that’s what we have going on, he will not be watching the kids.”

“He’s not watching the kids right now,” Kylie said, hastening to add: “I think he’s in meetings.”

And while everybody understood Jason not watching the kids if he is working, many were left stunned to learn that he doesn’t appear to share any of the burden of childcare with his wife.

One comment posted at the time read: “i would be genuinely embarrassed to admit this.”

Another popular response added: “it sounds like kylie also has a 37 year old son at home.”
