Kylie Kelce Shares How She Learned Travis Kelce Was Dating Taylor Swift

Kylie Kelce is more than just Jason Kelce's wife.

The Not Gonna Lie podcast host shared her honest thoughts on being labeled a "WAG"—which stands for "wives and girlfriends" and is often used as a catch-all term to describe the partners of professional male athletes—and it's safe to say it’s not a phrase she would use to describe herself.

"I don't like it, because I think it has a serious negative connotation attached," Kylie told Alex Cooper on the Feb. 12 episode of Call Her Daddy. "I think it's this suggestion that your spouse's profession swallows you up, as well."

The mom to Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 20 months—who is also pregnant with her and Jason’s fourth baby girl—went on to outline some of the boundaries that she and the former Philadelphia Eagles player have set up to avoid having his career in the NFL define their whole family.

Kylie explained, "I have made a serious effort to make sure that—both Jason and I have made a serious effort—that while he was playing that it was clear that that was his job."

"In the same way that someone would go to work and come home and not necessarily talk about their entire day," she continued. "You're filing taxes, you're doing spreadsheets...you're not coming home and telling your spouse about the spreadsheet you worked out."

In addition to not letting her husband's profession overtake their home life, the former collegiate field hockey player also wanted to dispel the connotations that come with the WAG term.

"It's so funny to me, because it is that stigma," she said. "You're with them because they make a lot of money or you want designer bags or you live in a mansion.

"It's like, no..." Kylie went on. "There have been a number of people who have come to our house and it's like, 'Oh...' Again, not easily offended, I'm like, 'Yep, that's what you get!'"

And that isn't the only predilection that the 32-year-old is pushing back against, either. Kylie recently spoke out how she's using her own past body image issues to empower her daughters.

"In the generation that I grew up in, it was a lot of discussing bodies instead of how much they could do,” she said on TODAY earlier this month. "I’m so glad that the narrative is shifting."

Kylie continued by sharing how she builds her oldest daughter Wyatt up as she goes through a growth spurt.

“I’ll say, ‘How cool is that? You are so tall you can wash your hands without a stool.’ And she’ll sort of light up," she shared. "It really is taking those little teeny, tiny moments and making sure that there’s a positive spin on something that is clearly starting to come to their attention."
