Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce are now coaches to four little ones. The former Philadelphia Eagles football player and Not Gonna Lie podcast host—who share daughters Wyatt , 5, Elliotte , 4, and Bennett , 2— announced the birth of their fourth child, a baby girl named Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce . Though the couple didn’t reveal what inspired Finn’s name, Kylie has given insight on how she chooses her daughters’ names—and nicknames.
“When you suggest a baby name, think of the nicknames that would then go along with that name,” she told listeners on the Jan. 23 episode of Not Gonna Lie . “I know a lot of great Garys but I cannot name my daughter Garrett knowing that her nickname would be Gary.
” But although Kylie adores a lot of names with double Ts—Merritt was another one she considered—she admitted that would be one way that her fourth daughter would break from tradition of her elder three. “There’s a good chance that this child doesn’t even get two Ts,” Kylie said. “People are very invested in this but I just feel like a curveball might be fun.
” “Also, we’ve run out, I think,” Kylie confessed. “Just prepare yourselves. If we don’t have two Ts, it’s OK and she’s still one of us.
” In addition to the importance of nicknames, the NFL family was adamant about maintaining their streak of gender-neutral names, despite the fact they had “already used them all up.” "I feel like we have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names for our fourth because we have Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett," Kylie said on the Jan. 9 episode of her podcast.
"So if we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they'll be like, ‘Why did they get a cute girly name?’” In her journey to land on the name Finnley, the 33-year-old looked for inspiration everywhere, including the “badass” name of one of Kate Hudson ’s past characters. " How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my favorite movies of all time, but absolutely my favorite rom-com," Kylie said on the March 6 episode of her show.
"We've even considered Andie as a name for our fourth girl. We were like, 'Andie would fit in there and it would be so cool.'" Now that Kylie and Jason are parents to four, read on to look back at the journey that brought them here.
2014 Jason Kelce doesn't want you to know he met his wife Kylie Kelce on a dating app. Too bad she wasn't afraid to reveal how their relationship began in the 2023 Prime Video Kelce documentary. "Jason won't let me lie about this," Kylie shared.
"We met on Tinder." When Kylie first encountered Jason's profile, she didn't recognize the Philadelphia Eagles center, explaining, "None of his pictures showed Eagles football." However, after she and her friends thought he looked "kind of familiar," they did what millennial women do best: A Google image search.
And when Kylie put a name to the face, she was confident she was being played. "It can't be him," she remembered thinking, "it's a catfish." Still, she took a chance.
And in 2015, she shared the first photo of the couple on Instagram, writing, "Thank goodness you swiped right too." December 2014 While Jason and Kylie ultimately hit it off, their first date didn't go according to the game plan. "You fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there on the bar table because he was too drunk," Kylie revealed on Jason's New Heights podcast , which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce .
Though he was admittedly "inebriated," Jason said, "I was sober enough to know it was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. It was love at first sight." Still, Kylie admitted it took her awhile to fully commit to the idea of being in a relationship with a professional athlete.
"I didn’t tell anyone who I was dating," she explained. "The last thing I wanted was to be like, 'I think I’m falling for this guy and then have him be like, 'Oh, I have six other girls waiting,’ which is the stereotype of a football player." However, in hindsight, Kylie admitted.
"It's entertaining that there was any hesitation at all." "Our dynamic made it so not that I was in a relationship with a professional athlete," she continued, "it was very much that I was in a relationship wth Jason whose profession was football." August 2017 She said yes! But only after putting up with some of Jason's B.
S. During a September 2023 episode of the New Height s podcast, the couple shared their engagement story, which Jason prefaced by admitting he is not a "romantic" person. The NFL star proposed to Kylie in his car while they were leaving her parents' house.
"I couldn’t figure out how to inconspicuously go back into the house," he explained, "because if I was like, 'Hey I gotta go talk to you dad for a second,’ it would have been very odd of me to say that." Instead, Jason went with, um, option No. 2: "When we got in the car, I said, 'Ky, I’m sorry but I gotta take a s--t.
'" However, Kylie immediately knew Jason was up to something when he returned minutes later. "He came back out and I said, 'Jason, I know you didn’t just go in there and take a s--t, it usually takes you 20 minutes.'" Jason then cut the bulls--t and got down to business.
"He said, 'This isn’t the most romantic way to do this,'" Kylie recalled, "and I immediately started crying because I knew what was happening only because he referenced being romantic." April 2018 Two months after winning his first Super Bowl in 2018, Jason added an even more special ring to his collection when he and Kylie tied the knot in Philadelphia. To celebrate their first anniversary, Kylie shared some throwback pictures from their wedding day.
"One year ago today we stood in front of our closest friends and family and vowed our love and commitment to each other," she wrote. "I am so beyond grateful that I get to share my life with this man." October 2019 The couple welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce , on Oct.
2, 2019. And to celebrate Wyatt's first birthday, Kylie shared several photos from the delivery room on Instagram. "One year ago this little bug was snuggled up on my chest for her first night out in the world.
I will never get tired of your cuddles, Wy," she wrote. "Also, swipe to see what is truly one of my favorite photos in my phone. Mid-push, veins popping out of my head, and the biggest cheesin grin on Jason’s face.
Minutes later, we were parents." March 2021 The Kelces welcomed their second child, daughter Elliotte Rya Kelce , into the world on March 4. Kylie shared a sweet video of Elliotte to celebrate her six-month birthday, writing, "Full of smiles, laughs, and sweetness.
" And, for her first post of 2022, Kylie captioned a photo of Elliotte, "Best thing to come out of 2021." February 2023 When Jason and Travis faced off against one another at the 2023 Super Bowl, Kylie had a very special guest attending the game with her. "Kylie's bringing her OB because she's going to be 38 weeks pregnant at the game," Jason said on the podcast.
"That could be a super Kelce Bowl. If she has a baby in the stadium, it's officially scripted!" Travis joked, "We're in The Matrix , there's no f--king way." February 2023 While Uncle Trav may have won the Kelce Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles, Jason received an even sweeter prize two weeks later when he and Kylie welcomed their third daughter.
"Yesterday little lady #3 joined us," the couple shared on Instagram. " Bennett Llewellyn Kelce 8lbs. 5oz.
and 21inches long." Their daughter was named in honor of Jason's grandmother through Bennett's middle name, Llewellyn. "It's Grandma Mary's maiden name," Jason shared on New Heights .
"I wanted to honor Grandma Mary, who is now resting in peace. She had a good run." August 2023 Kylie and all three daughters visited Jason at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp, with the couple sharing pics in a joint Instagram post.
"Here for the Rita's and obstacle courses with dad after practice," the caption read. Jason's dad skills were on full display in the Kelce documentary on Prime Video, in which Kylie shared her honest thoughts on Jason's retirement. "I always tell people that no matter what happens with football, how it ends," she said, "I would like him to retire when he's still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably.
" September 2024 There's no doubt Jason has been getting down since officially announcing his retirement in March 2024, enjoying trips to the 2024 Paris Olympics , the Cannes Lions festival and several stops of Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour , including one in London where they met Prince William , along with his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte . And it's clear he's having a royally good time in his new gig as an ESPN commentator . "Training camp looked a little different this year," Kylie shared in a Sept.
14, 2024 Instagram . "Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!" However, she added, "Maybe try not to say t-ts this week?" And Jason was ready to have another tiny cheerleader .
"We’re rotating through clothes we bought for our first daughter now to our youngest, so we have gone through a lot of hand-me-downs," Kylie told New York Magazine 's The Strategist in June 2024. "The Hanna Anderson PJs last forever. We still have some packed up, just in case there ends up being a fourth.
" November 2024 Months later, the duo revealed they were signing another daughter to their roster. "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister," Kylie wrote on Instagram. "At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!" As for expanding their squad in the future , "I think it might get shut down after this one," she said on the Dec.
19 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast. "We're gonna have this next kid and I'm gonna be like, 'Don't even look at me. Just eyes at the floor.
Don't look at me.'" March 2025 Kylie gave birth to her and Jason's fourth baby girl, Finnley "Finn" Anne Kelce , on March 30, 2025..
