Kylie Kelce is finding her own podcast identity with her show “Not Gonna Lie,” but she’s thrown in a few shout-outs here and there at her husband, Jason Kelce.
News broke in November 2024 that Kylie was joining Jason and his brother, Travis Kelcein the world of podcasts. “Not Gonna Lie” debuted the following month, allowing Kylie to reintroduce herself. “I have a husband who you might know, he kind of got me into this mess,” she joked during her first episode. “I swiped right and now here we are.”
While sitting with her wide range of guests – from the Olympian Alex Morgan to influence Allison Kuch — Kylie has made frequent references to Jason and “the other podcast” (aka “New Heights”). She even told listeners what made her show different from that of her husband and brother-in-law, often pointing out that “Not Gonna Lie” is about “women supporting women.”
In her initial announcement, Kylie admitted she was “just as shocked” as everyone else that she found herself behind the mic. “But if everyone wants to talk about me and my family, they might as well hear it from my mouth,” she added.
Scroll down to see how Kylie subtly referred to Jason on her podcast – and how she blatantly called him out:
Friendly competition
“If you look at another podcast that I know the hosts of, they have also gotten better over time. So I would really appreciate some patience, please,” Kylie teased during her first episode.
Kylie then joked about a particular element of “New Heights” lore. “My producer, we’re going to call her Queen Emma,” she said. “That’s because on the other podcast they reduced the executive producer to an intern. That’s right, you heard me. Intern Brandon is actually executive producer. But you know what we do here? We lift people up.
Children who look alike
“We are so lucky that my husband makes beautiful daughters,” Kylie said in December 2024, a month after revealing that she and Jason had a fourth daughter on the way. “When you look at Wyatt’s baby photos and Jason’s baby photos side by side, it looks like we cloned him. …Believe me, I’m trying desperately to have a child who looks like me.
Watch the girls
While answering questions from fans, Kylie revealed if Jason would take care of their daughters during his recording sessions. “How can I say this nicely?” No,” she admitted, specifying that her position “is not an attack on her husband” as a parent. “He’s busier than he’s ever been. He works very hard and is really working at the moment.
Kylie explained that she prefers to “plan childcare” when she’s booked. “I just make sure I’m covered, and if that means he’s home and someone else is there, then that’s what happens,” she said.
The gang launches into podcasting
Kylie’s first guest was It’s always sunny in Philadelphia star Kaitlin Olsonwho was surprised to learn that Kylie – originally from Philadelphia – had “never seen a full episode” of the show. “(It’s) like when people come up to Jason and they have this truth serum effect that tells them, ‘I’m not a football fan,'” she joked.
When asking Olson for episode recommendations, Kylie specifically replied “the one where my husband (and his friend) Beau (Allen had) a cameo doesn’t count.”
The episode in question, “The Gang Wins the Big Game,” aired in 2018. Olson had nothing but good things to say about Jason from his brief time on set, to which Kylie teased in response: “Try to live with him.”
Jason Kelce swiped right and found love with Kylie Kelce — even though their first date got off to a rocky start. “(I) definitely fell asleep,” the former Philadelphia Eagles athlete recalled on his “New Heights” podcast in September 2023. “I got a little too drunk, but I was sober enough to know that it was the (…)
Social media roasts
When a fan said in December 2024 that Kylie was the funniest member of the Kelce family, Jason shared his thoughts via X, writing, “Funniest look.” Of course, Kylie took to her podcast platform to respond.
“I tell him regularly that he’s not funny,” she said. “I have to do this because there are so many people laughing at his jokes and telling him he’s hilarious. I’ll take it, I can be the funniest. I mean, the Kelce genes are strong. I’m a glaring exception…so I can accept that.
She added: “I think sometimes he forgets that I can actually see his tweets. »
Kitten-Gate
Longtime fans of “New Heights” are familiar with the story of Kylie’s quest for a pet — and they know that Jason has no interest in bringing home a cat. “Believe it or not, I love and respect my husband,” Kylie teased on her podcast, sharing an update on the hilarious feud. “And if he doesn’t want a cat right now, I don’t necessarily want to do it against his wishes. I think there will come a time when we break him down and he says not only is it okay, but he’s okay with the decision. And in a loving marriage, I like to respect his feelings.
Who orders?
“I have to discipline my children and my husband. Who are we kidding? Kylie joked during a December 2024 episode with a sports broadcaster Charissa Thompson. “It’s bedtime and he throws the kids on the beds. I’m like, “Hello, we’re finishing up. » Can we be adults for two minutes?
The late night show
After the premiere of Jason’s ESPN show, They call him late at nightIn January 2025, Kylie explained how she ended up being chosen to be its presenter. “Getting into this business is the perfect way to describe how I found myself as an advertiser,” she explained. “My husband asked me to participate, and being the supportive wife that I am, I said yes. Hesitantly.”
When asked if she was nervous about going on TV, Kylie compared the experience to her wedding day. “I was nervous about walking down the aisle because everyone was going to look at me,” she said. “And then as soon as I got to see Jason, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m good. I can go down the aisle. I’m just going to focus on him.
She added: “Likewise…I got to watch Jason do his thing (on ESPN) and he’s the center of attention and all that, and he crushes it.” I didn’t need to be nervous.
Dating horror stories
“The online dating landscape from the time I met Jason 10 years ago to what it is today – or what I understand through other people’s explanations – I’m so happy to understood it from the beginning,” Kylie said in response to a listener. question in January 2025. “First of all, I didn’t have any horror stories before meeting Jason because I had never met anyone in person from Tinder before Jason. I didn’t stay there very long. …I think I won Tinder.
