Kylie Kelce married into NFL royalty when she tied the knot with Jason Kelce. The 33-year-old mother of four built her own platform separate from her husband’s football fame.

She just dropped a take on her podcast that has the internet completely split down the middle.
Kylie Kelce Goes Off on Men Who Say “We’re Pregnant” During Her Latest Podcast Episode
Kelce hosts the podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce where she tackles real-life topics without filter. The October 16 episode focused on a viral Reddit post that struck a nerve.
A pregnant woman vented frustration about her husband constantly saying “we’re pregnant” throughout her pregnancy.
Kylie didn’t hold back her thoughts on the phrase. “Who the f**k is we?” shefired off immediately. Her point landed clearly and directly. Only one person actually carries the baby for nine months.
The former field hockey player admitted she’s guilty of similar language in the past. “We got a positive pregnancy test,” came out of her mouth during earlier pregnancies. Looking back now, she realizes how little sense that makes.
Reddit commenters suggested “we’re expecting” as a better alternative. Kylie jumped on that solution immediately.
Both parents expect a baby but only the mom deals with the physical reality of pregnancy. The distinction matters more than most people think.
She rattled off the experiences only pregnant women endure. Exhaustion that hits different than regular tiredness.
Food cravings that make zero logical sense. Physical changes that happen whether you want them or not. Treating pregnancy like a shared physical experience dismisses all of that.
Jason Kelce apparently learned this lesson early. The former Eagles center never once said “we’re pregnant” during any of their four pregnancies. They share daughters Wyatt (6), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and son Finn (6 months).
Kylie joked that Jason might be a “fast learner” after witnessing her pregnancy moods. She painted a picture of potentially snapping at him years ago. “We’re pregnant. No, we’re not. I’m pregnant,” she imagined herself saying. Jason clearly took notes.
The podcast host got honest about how pregnancy affects her temperament. She acknowledged becoming more irritable when carrying a baby. Postpartum moods hit unexpectedly too according to her experience across four kids.
Her message focused on the importance of using the right words when discussing pregnancy.
Both parents may feel excited about a baby coming, but that excitement does not mean they experience pregnancy similarly. Acknowledging that difference shows respect and understanding for each person’s experience.
Parents Across Social Media Agree on Kylie Kelce’s Pregnancy Language Take
The podcast clip spread across social media platforms within hours. Parents flooded comment sections with wildly different reactions to Kylie’s stance.
One fan wrote, “I agree!! It’s okay to say ‘WE are having a baby’ but only momma is pregnant. Love it.” The distinction between having a baby and being pregnant resonated with many listeners.
A second added, “OMG finally someone agrees with me, it is so frickin cringy when people say this.” Years of hearing “we’re pregnant” clearly built up frustration for certain people.
Not everyone bought Kylie’s argument though. A third pointed out, “What’s next, ‘we’re on our period’?” The sarcastic comparison questioned where the line gets drawn on shared language. Some viewed the whole debate as unnecessary semantics.
Others defended men using inclusive pregnancy language. A fourth noted, “Nothing wrong with that. Without the man, there is no pregnancy.” The comment highlighted fathers wanting to feel involved in the pregnancy journey beyond just showing up at the hospital.
The debate touches something deeper than just word choice. Kylie’s take reflects broader conversations about recognizing what mothers endure during pregnancy.
Her platform as an NFL wife with four kids gives her perspective weight with certain audiences. Whether “we’re pregnant” disappears from common vocabulary remains doubtful, but she got people thinking about it.
