Kylie Kelce is once again facing a kindergarten milestone. And she’s not shy about sharing how much it’s messing with her emotions. In a new episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, the mom of four opened up about watching her second daughter, Elliotte, start kindergarten. This comes just months after her oldest, Wyatt, made the same jump.
Kylie Kelce wants daughters to come home as often as possible when they grow up and leave
Kylie Kelce gets real about her daughter starting kindergarten and her fear of kids growing up. Kylie joked that part of the reason she and husband Jason Kelce had four kids was to improve the odds. At least one of them, she hopes, will never actually leave home.
She admitted she’s only about 75% joking, quickly clarifying that she genuinely wants her daughters to grow up ambitious and independent. Still, she said she also wants them to visit often and stay involved in her life. Kylie expressed that she wants them to keep coming home as much as possible.
The podcaster explained that her real issue isn’t with kindergarten itself, but with what it represents. Once kids start full days of school, five days a week, it can feel different. She said it’s like the beginning of them slowly leaving for good. True to her laid-back “Type C mom” style, she’s trying to focus on how excited Elliotte is about starting, rather than letting her own feelings take over the moment.
Kylie also shared a sweet story about Elliotte’s personality, recalling that she smiled on purpose at just five weeks old, far earlier than most babies typically do. Kelce called her one of the sweetest, happiest kids in the family. She hopes that innocence sticks around a little longer
One recent moment stuck with her in particular. The night before filming, Elliotte reportedly walked past her younger sibling Finn’s door after bedtime, whispered goodnight, and kissed the door before heading to her own room.
Kylie shared that Elliotte has told her more than once that she’s going to live with us forever, a promise Kylie is clearly hoping sticks. Her older daughter Wyatt didn’t look back on her own first day at school, though. She walked straight in like she had somewhere important to be, according to Kylie.
With her youngest daughter, Finn, still years away from her own kindergarten start, Kelce admitted she already knows that day will hit just as hard, if not harder, when it eventually comes.
