As Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce are preparing to welcome their fourth 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl, the retired NFL star gave an exclusive sneak peek to E! News on how they’re feeling and getting ready.
Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce’s home team is expanding.
The retired NFL player and his wife are expecting their fourth 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, another 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl. But when you’ve already welcomed three girls—Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 20 months—adding another is far less daunting.
“I got it pretty easy,” I’m not gonna lie,” Jason exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker Nov. 24 at Marriott’s Sunday Fun-Day Pool Party, where he hung out with NFL super fans. “There’s another girl, so the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought. The crib is already situated. So we’re pretty set. Kylie’s definitely preparing more than I am, because she’s actually growing the human being.”
But for the girl-dad, having another daughter is nothing short of a touchdown.
“I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters,” he added.” I was telling somebody out there because they’re expecting their first—and they look at you. They smile at you. There’s just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can.”
He continued, “And it’s been such a blessing to have three healthy, smart, wonderful 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. And hopefully we’ll welcome a fourth into this world, and we’ll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff.”
And while he admitted he’s not sure what the most challenging part of being a girl dad versus a boy dad, because he’s only ever had girls, he thinks the hardest parts of parenting are universal.
“I think the most challenging thing as a parent is patience, by far,” he reflected. “The most rewarding thing is just smiles. To me, seeing them smile or seeing them laugh—like nothing in this world makes you feel better.”
Jason also shared how his family—including brother Travis Kelce and parents Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce—are feeling about welcoming another 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 to the family.
“Everybody’s excited, anytime you find out,” he said. “And you know, mom and dad, they got the best stage in being grandparents. They get to go and spoil them, really have fun with them, and then hand them back, so we’re the ones that got to be the bad cops. So they’re excited, for sure.”
The 37-year-old—who recently added the title of Fanbassador for Marriott to his resume after he hosted the hotel’s Sunday Fun-Day Pool Party—also shared insight into traveling as a family of five, and soon to be six.

On his go-to requirements, he added, “You have to have the places to eat. I’m a big time like, I want to check out the best food scenes that I can all within those places. The most important thing is a good hotel, I would say good people. Whether I’m meeting people there or going with friends or my wife or my family, generally, I feel like the places I go, generally, like the people I interact with, end up making the trip almost just as much as the place.”
And he knows his family is always in good hands with Marriott Bonvoy. “You can’t be staying at a place that isn’t clean or has questionable things,” he added. “And that’s one of the beautiful things of Marriott—no matter where you’re at, you know you’re going to be taken care of.”
