Kylie Kelce, host of the chart-topping Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce podcast, is back with another candid episode that dives into her parenting experiences. After her debut episode outshined even Joe Rogan’s popular podcast, Kelce’s second installment, released on December 12, 2024, promises to continue the momentum.
In this episode, Kelce, a mother of three young daughters and expecting a fourth, is joined by social media star Allison Kucharczyk (known as Allison Kuch) to discuss everything from toy gift guidelines to baby naming choices. Here’s a look at what they covered.
Kylie Kelce’s List of Toy No-No’s for Her Kids
As the wife of retired NFL star Jason Kelce and sister-in-law to Travis Kelce, Kylie Kelce isn’t shy about sharing her parenting preferences, particularly when it comes to toys for her children. She kicked off the episode by listing the types of presents she’s kindly asking family and friends not to buy for her kids.
1. No Toys that Need Assembly: Kelce explained that toys requiring complicated setup are off-limits. She shared that when a child sees a toy in its box, they’re eager to play immediately, and the constant “Are you done yet?” from impatient kids is something she’d rather avoid.
2. No Glitter: While glitter might seem fun, Kelce says it’s more trouble than it’s worth. “It makes their hearts so happy,” she admits, but the mess it leaves behind is a major downside.
3. Toys Without Volume Control: A particularly memorable story involves a loud electric drum set given to her daughter, Wyatt, by a close family member. With only an “on/off” switch and no volume control, it was retired quickly. Kelce jokingly admitted to feeling guilty for hiding the gift from Wyatt, but requested that gifts with no volume control be avoided in the future.
4. No Living Creatures: Kelce has a firm “no” on pets as gifts. She joked, “I’m already proud of myself when I can keep three children alive each day,” explaining that she’s not ready to add the responsibility of caring for a pet.
5. No Toys with Too Many Pieces: Lost pieces are a common problem in Kelce’s house, and she warned that any toy with too many small parts is likely to be discarded.
6. No Toy Weapons: Kelce made it clear that she doesn’t want her kids playing with toy weapons, which she thought was a given.
The Baby Name Kylie Kelce Almost Chose
Kelce and Kuch also discussed their shared love of gender-neutral names. Kelce revealed that she almost named her second daughter Scottie—the same name as Kuch’s daughter—had she given birth while her husband was playing in Scottsdale during the Super Bowl. While the name is now off the table for Kelce, she admits it almost made the final cut.
Kuch shared that naming her daughter Scottie was a bit controversial with older generations, who often asked if the name was short for something or part of the family tradition. Despite the questions, Kuch is proud of her choice, as it fits her daughter perfectly.
Why Parents Take Little Kids to Disney
The conversation turned to family trips to Disney, with Kuch sharing her experience taking her daughter for her first birthday. Kelce agreed that while young children may not fully grasp the magic of Disney, it’s really for the parents. She pointed out that the joy and awe on a child’s face are special moments for the adults to enjoy. Kuch humorously mentioned how she took some rides without her daughter, a decision Kelce supported, joking that it was a well-deserved break for any mother.
Moms Reclaiming Their Identity
The two moms also discussed the importance of reclaiming personal identities after becoming parents. Kuch, inspired by her husband, has been focusing on training for a marathon to regain a sense of self outside of motherhood. She noted that it’s essential for parents to nurture their own interests and well-being, something that can benefit the whole family.
The Decision to Keep Kids Off Social Media
With both moms being public figures, they also shared their reasons for keeping their children’s lives private on social media. Kuch and her husband have chosen not to post photos of their daughter, feeling that many aspects of their life are already public, and they want to keep certain moments for themselves. Kelce echoed this sentiment, explaining that they’ve also scaled back on sharing their kids’ moments online. With their children becoming more aware of public interactions, Kelce said she can’t guarantee that all public moments are suitable for young kids.
Conclusion
Kylie Kelce’s podcast continues to offer listeners a glimpse into the life of a busy mom and NFL wife. With her refreshing honesty and humor, Kelce and her guest, Allison Kuch, shared everything from toy preferences to parenting philosophies. Fans are eager to hear more as Kelce gears up for future episodes of her chart-topping podcast.
