They say adding a new player to the roster changes team chemistry. Well, someone better check the Kelce family depth chart because baby Finn just entered the game, and let’s just say, it has not left everyone in the house thrilled. For those of you saying, Kylie Kelce and Jason couldn’t come up with a better name than a Finn, well, that’s the least of their concerns. Because they have got to micromanage their toddlers’ feelings over what should be a celebration.
While 5-year-old Wyatt and 4-year-old Elliotte have gone full fan-girl over her, 2-year-old Bennett has… well, not. “‘Put baby down. Why baby came?’” Kylie revealed Benny’s reaction on the Not Gonna Lie podcast. “Benny is still ticked. She is annoyed.” Uh-Oh! It feels like she wasn’t part of the pre-pregnancy planning. However, Kylie’s just too experienced in these tantrums and knows it’s a phase.
Meanwhile, Wyatt’s walking around like she just spotted Taylor Swift backstage at an Eras Tour pit stop. “She keeps walking by and going, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s just so cute’,” Kylie shared. Elliotte, on the other hand, is obsessed with Finn’s feet—no really, it’s a full-blown piggy patrol situation. “She keeps coming by and saying, ‘Can I touch her piggies’?” Kylie laughed. “We’ve had a few waking moments just because we needed to touch piggies.”

But despite the imbalance, the Kelces are getting on well. “We’ve deployed the village,” she said, giving a shoutout to her mom, their nanny, nieces, and, of course, Jason Kelce. The ex-Eagle turned full-time girl dad apparently played MVP during the birth too—holding Kylie up, helping with the leg lifts, and snipping the cord like it was his fourth Super Bowl ring. “Snip, snip, done. It was impressive,” Kylie said.
And while Uncle Travis only got to greet Finn virtually—cue “Hey little muffin” via New Heights—he and Taylor Swift made sure to send love from afar. Yes, that Instagram like from Taylor counts. Swifties, stay calm.
So yeah, the Kelce house is now officially a girl-powered dynasty with one very vocal middle child keeping everyone humble. But for Kelce, this postpartum period is crucial because she has set her clear boundaries, one that she wants all the partners to follow.

Kylie Kelce’s ‘Dos and Donts’
Let’s skip to the Kylie Kelce talk. Yes, we have read, heard, and seen Finn-the 4th girl. But Kylie wants the fellow mommas to focus. She didn’t waste time getting to the real talk: the chaotic, beautiful, and wildly misunderstood reality of postpartum life. And if you’re still out here telling new moms to ‘sleep when the baby sleeps’—brace yourself.
“Don’t, and I cannot stress this enough, do not tell her to sleep while the baby’s sleeping,” Kylie said. She’s not wrong. That advice? Straight off the worst playbook in the league. Like asking a quarterback to nap mid-snap. How exactly is she supposed to eat, shower, or have a full sentence with another adult if she’s supposed to pass out every time the baby does? Kylie’s calling it out for what it is: “one of the most asinine pieces of advice that people give to new moms.”
And speaking of bad calls—let’s talk about the body commentary. Just don’t. “Please don’t say anything about her weight or her looks in general,” Kylie added. “Her body just built another human.” Preach. This isn’t a postgame press conference where we’re breaking down body stats. This is a woman who just did something physically extraordinary. Toss those hot takes where they belong—out of bounds.

Now, if you’re wondering what is acceptable, Kylie spells it out. Ask how you can help. Bring food. Run the dishwasher. Tidy up. Babysit the older kids. But don’t bring over cupcakes unless you’re ready to watch sugar-fueled chaos erupt mid-nap. “Let’s work smarter, not harder here,” she says. Oh, and this one’s a biggie: “Don’t kiss that baby.” Not on the head, not on the cheeks, not even on those tiny irresistible hands. Germs are real, and that’s a hard boundary. Also, any unsolicited takes on breastfeeding? Kindly zip it. “Fed is best, motherf—er,” she said, chest out, no hesitation. That’s the energy.
Kylie’s not ranting—she’s rallying. She’s been through the trenches, and now, with Jason Kelce retired and full-time dad mode activated, their chemistry of handling the kids (and now, another newborn) has grown together. But her message? Crystal clear. Support new moms. Don’t be weird. And for the love of god—wash your hands.
