NEED TO KNOW
Kylie Kelce is opening up about how she navigates the holidays with little ones.
The podcaster and mom of four, 33, revealed during a special solo Thanksgiving episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast that she will always allow one controversial item at the kids’ table during the holidays. Kylie, who shares her four daughters with husband Jason Kelce, noted that she’ll probably “get a little judgment” for her decision, but she’s okay with it.
“When we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, I will probably put the kids’ table in the living room where we can see it from the dining room table, and I will put on the TV,” she shared.
Kylie went on to say that there will be a time when her four daughters — Finnley, 7 months, Bennett, 2, Elliotte, 4, and Wyatt, 6 — will sit at the grown-ups table, but it’s okay that it’s “not right now.” She also revealed the one thing that she wants to be able to do without tending to her kids on the holiday, making the TV the perfect distraction.
“There will come a time where my kids will sit at the table and indulge in the holiday meal in full. They’ll sit at the table. They’ll be engaged in conversation. They will actually eat the things presented to them. It’s okay that it’s not right now,” she shared. “And also selfishly, I wanna eat my food. So, how about that?”
During her podcast episodes, the doting mom never misses a moment to talk about her family and navigating life with four little ones. During the “Ask Me Some Things” segment on the Thursday, Oct. 23 episode of the podcast, Kylie revealed the one item she has to hide from her kids.
While she doesn’t have to hide scissors, she said that she has to keep “any type of writing or drawing utensil” away from her four daughters. Kylie went on to explain that her kids will get markings everywhere around the house if they get their hands on it.
“So easy. Things that have to be hidden from my children. Surprisingly enough, not scissors. What I do have to be careful of is any type of writing or drawing utensil. It’s everywhere,” she shared. “It’s on the couch. It’s on the wall. It’s on the floor. It’s on the table.”

Kylie then directly addressed people who she felt would have something to say about her having to hide writing utensils.
“I’ve tried everything. We’ve sat in time-out. We have had to scrub it up ourselves,” Kylie said. “Now, they go on lockdown. That’s our that’s our compromise.”
“To be fair, they are newly 6, 4, and 2,” she added. “Their reasoning and decision making, not the best. But for some reason, anything that is smooth to go on your human body, head to f—— toe. It is absurd. It’s insane.”

“The minute they get a silky crayon, watercolor paint, any paintbrush with even a hint of color left in it. Full face paint. A full face of paint. It’s bananas,” she added. “I’ve had enough.”
The mom of four went on to share which kid she thinks she’ll eventually need to hide scissors from.
“You know who will be my child that cuts hair? And I know it without a doubt, and I feel like I could millennial pause this, and everyone can say it together,” she said, pausing before continuing, “Bennett Llewellyn Kelce. She is my most mischievous child. Jason and I are in for it.”
