Jason Kelce says he’ll ‘definitely’ get a vasectomy at some point

Kylie and Jason’ Kelce’s youngest daughter, Finnley, just turned five months. When Kylie was pregnant, she lamented about how people kept asking if she and Jason would end up trying again for a boy, warning that the next person who asked her that question would get “dropkicked.” A month or so later, Jason was asked that very question during a guest appearance on The Steam Room podcast. He handled it beautifully, saying that the decision to have more children in general was ultimately up to Kylie. He also revealed that they had talked about him getting a vasectomy.

On Tuesday, Jason showed up on another sports podcast, Bussin’ with the Boys, which is cohosted by NFL stars Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. Towards the end of the interview, Compton praised Kylie’s podcast while Lewan brought up their four daughters and asked if they kept going after their second daughter was born because they were trying for a boy. Jason denied that this was the case and once again shared that he and Kylie have decided that whenever they are done having children, he is “definitely” getting a vasectomy.

While discussing having a household full of girls and whether he wanted a boy, Jason said, “If a boy happened, that would be fun. But I think at the end of the day, I say what my dad always said. I just want… we’re very blessed to have four healthy, like smart, charismatic, amazing children … I would not trade any of that for a second.”

The former Philadelphia Eagles center said that “early on” he and Kylie spoke about the fact that he “wanted three kids.”

“I always felt like Travis [Kelce] and I always wanted like one more sibling. It felt like [that] would’ve been ideal,” he told the hosts.

“Kylie said she wanted five. So we’re at four now, and I think we’ll see. That might be it,” he continued.

Discussing a potential vasectomy, Jason admitted, “We’ve been bringing up the v-word more than ever. So we’ll see if it happens.”

“Once we’re done [having kids] for sure,” he said of undergoing the permanent male sterilization procedure in the future. “I’m definitely getting it done. I think we’re still kind of in that like, are we done or are we just figuring it out?”

[From People]

First of all, I’m glad that Jason is willing to do his part in his and Kylie’s family planning by agreeing to get snipped. We always hear stories about men who think a vasectomy is going to affect their manhood or whatever stupid sh-t the manosphere spreads. Jason seamlessly enters some of these worlds and spits truths like, “My wife is my equal” and ”Having all daughters is great and there is nothing wrong with getting a vasectomy.” I’m always impressed at how open he is about their long-term birth control planning. Let’s normalize men having these conversations.

My big takeaway from Jason’s interview is that he and Kylie aren’t officially done having children yet! They obviously can afford to have more kids, but they have both been very honest about how difficult Kylie’s last pregnancy was. I bet that’s the hold-up. I also swear that Kylie has said in the past that she always wanted four kids. Is Jason bringing up that she “wanted five” new information that I somehow missed? Oh, my crystal ball says that they are totally going to have a fifth daughter and Jason will get that Big V while she is pregnant.

Here’s the section where Jason talks about getting the vasectomy. Just in case it doesn’t cue up, it starts at 3:15:45.

Brad Pitt Jason Kelce Travis Kelce

Brad Pitt: When I came up in the ’90s, the whole goal was ‘you didn’t sell out’

Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast has become more high-profile in the past two years, with a $100 million multi-year Amazon deal and massive corporate sponsorship. Someone else with massive corporate sponsorship? Brad Pitt, who is currently promoting Apple’s F1. Apple has spent a fortune promoting this movie and whitewashing their violent and abusive lead actor. I have no idea if money exchanged hands to get Pitt on New Heights, but Pitt absolutely agreed to the interview knowing that he would get a lot of softballs. The fact that the Kelce bros welcomed Brad on New Heights… well, I lost some respect for them. But I lost respect for a lot of people who went to see F1 anyway.

Brad Pitt has words of wisdom for the next generation of actors. On Wednesday, July 2, the 61-year-old F1 movie star appeared as a guest on the New Heights podcast, joining Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce while on a promo run for his new sports movie.

“Whoa! Brothers Kelce!” Pitt said as he joined the show remotely. “Sorry, I was late. I couldn’t get my s— together this morning,” he quipped after joking about not being able to reach 200 mph while driving on set. Jason, 37, later refers to Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, as “an old, grizzled veteran,” which leads the trio to discuss age.

The former Philadelphia Eagles center confesses that he and his 35-year-old brother were used to seeing “these young guys come in” the NFL and how things have changed in the 13 years that they played professionally. “It was just very relatable for us watching that as a veteran football player,” Jason told Pitt of F1.

The Fight Club star joked that he prepared for the role by stocking up on “a lot of old man jokes.”

Switching gears, Pitt said, “I like watching what the new generations are coming in with. To see what they’re up against and also the way they negotiate their way through it. I feel like they enjoy it more. We were a little more uptight and had to be about acting. You didn’t sell out, you didn’t sell out, you didn’t sell out. And now it’s this thing of, ‘Hey man, we can be artists in many different arenas. And so let’s do it and let’s enjoy it,’ ” he continued. However, he did share one critique.

“They also get caught up in like, have to have a franchise or have to have a superhero or something like that, which I keep going, ‘Don’t. Don’t. They will die,’ ” the Academy Award winner said.

[From People]

The “don’t sell out” thing is very ‘90s. Being a “sellout” was the worst insult ever back then. No one had corporate sponsorship, no one wanted to work for the studios, no one wanted to work for “the man,” and you looked down on celebrities if they had a Lancome contract or a side-hustle. Now look at Brad and the games he plays. Anyway, I can’t work up any energy about this – Brad sucks and it’s a terrible look for the Kelces.

Babies Births Jason Kelce Kylie Kelce

Jason & Kylie Kelce welcomed their fourth daughter, she’s already on their podcasts




Congratulations to Kylie and Jason Kelce! After what probably felt like a lifetime for Kylie, baby girl #4 finally arrived on Sunday, March 30. Finnley Anne Kelce joins big sisters Wyatt, five, Elliotte, three, and Bennett, two. Her nickname will be Finn. Kylie and Jason announced the news in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, a two-day-old Finn made her podcast debut on her daddy and her Uncle Travis’s podcast, New Heights. Today (Thursday), Kylie, showing us once again that she is a badass, got back on the mic to announce that she’d booked a hot newcomer as this week’s guest: Finn! That’s right, Kylie had a kid on Sunday and was back to work to record on Tuesday. Just like New Heights, this week’s Not Gonna Lie pod also introduces us to Finn and shares Kylie’s birth and postpartum story.

Jason Kelce’s emotions are soaring to new heights after welcoming his fourth baby with wife Kylie Kelce. In fact, the Philadelphia Eagles alum couldn’t help but to marvel at his newborn daughter Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce’s adorable appearance, writing in the comments section of her birth announcement on Instagram April 1, “Does that first photo have a filter on it?”

In the picture, little Finn stared sweetly at the camera while wearing a pink and blue knitted hat, which perfectly matched swaddling blanket that she was wrapped in at the hospital.

Other snapshots posted include one of Finn in a floral onesie, as well as portraits of Kylie and Jason craddling their new baby girl.

“Whoop, there she is!” the couple—who also share daughters Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce, 5, Elliotte Ray Kelce, 3, and Bennett Llewellyn Kelce, 2—wrote in the caption along with her birth date. “3/30/25.”

[From E! Online]

It is crazy that Kylie did a podcast two days after giving birth. Girl, take some time to sleep and heal! On some level, it also doesn’t surprise me, though. Plus, she doesn’t have to leave her house, so I bet that helps too, lol. While I appreciate that she’s sharing her story with women in real time, I hope that Kylie takes a few weeks off for maternity leave. I also understand if she uses the podcast as her excuse to put on make-up, a nice shirt, and talk to grown-ups once a week. Even though she doesn’t need the money, if she’s doing this for mental health, then it’s important.

Anyway, let’s talk about Finn! She is adorable. IMO, she looks like Jason, but a baby’s look changes so much as they grow that she could be Kylie’s spitting image six months from now. I also think Finn is such a cute name! Kylie explains that 24-hours after she was born, they still hadn’t decided on a name. Finn’s name was a contender for Elliotte’s name, which I can relate to. Mr. Rosie and I each made lists of name choices for our younger son, but in the end, the only one we could agree on was the one that was #2 on our list for our older son’s name. Finn may not have gotten the double T treatment like her older sisters did, but it is spelled with two Ns. Given the story behind the name, I wonder if they were originally going to spell it with one N and only added the second one to keep with the theme. Welcome to the world, Finn!

Jason Kelce Kylie Kelce Pregnancy

Kylie Kelce says her husband always has a snack right before she gives birth

Embed from Getty Images


Last week’s episode of Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast was another fun one. She starts it off by confessing that she’s going to sound very out of breath when she’s talking because her baby is currently pushed up against her lungs and she “can’t inflate them fully.” She also jokes that because she’s almost nine months pregnant, her TikTok algorithm is showing her lots of “pick your hospital bag” videos. After sharing what’s going to be in her own hospital bag, Kylie turns her attention over to all of her listeners who are dads or about-to-be dads and tells them what’s in Jason’s hospital bag. All of his previous bags were fairly reasonable, but this year, he may show up with his own air mattress, which…fair, lol. Kylie then goes one step further and shares Jason’s biggest tip for dads in the delivery room. That tip? To eat a snack right before that final action starts to happen.

“Just for good measure, I will share Jason’s biggest tip to soon to be fathers,” the 32-year-old said. “He is convinced that men pass out because when pushing starts to happen and birth amps up and the baby is on its way out, that you stand up and you get this rush of adrenaline.”

“And a lot of times, you’ve gone from sitting all day waiting to then jumping up and being in an excited situation,” the host, who is expecting her fourth baby girl with Jason, 37, continued. The couple are already parents to daughters Wyatt Elizabeth, 5, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Bennett Llewellyn, 2.

The expectant mom explained that Jason thinks fathers should “eat a snack right before mom starts pushing because he’s convinced that it’s an issue with your blood sugar.”

“I giggle a little only because it sounds ridiculous, but when you are in it, having gone through it three times, it seems legit,” Kylie said. “I don’t remember which birth it was, but I do remember looking over as I got the shakes, and I’m like, ‘We’re going.’ And he’s, like, mid bite getting ready to hold me for a crunch.”

The former collegiate field hockey player continued, “But he hasn’t passed out. So take it, take the advice. Just have a little sneaky snack before the slip and slide happens.”

[From People]

I can vividly picture that scene she describes of looking over and seeing Jason mid-chew as she’s pushing. It feels like a scene straight out of a sitcom. Having never been a new dad in the delivery room myself, I don’t know for sure if there’s a blood sugar issue to be wary about, but I can see how that makes sense for some people, especially when you consider the waiting all day and suddenly springing into action aspect. Generally, you have a little bit of warning about how far a new mom is progressing, so I’d advise Jason to move his snickety-snack timeline up a bit so he’s fully available when it’s go-time. I was scared when it was time to start pushing with my first son. I would have been so mad if Mr. Rosie had taken a snack break at that moment lol. Eating before you get to the hospital is solid advice for both parents, though. I was too nervous to eat with my first and ended up pushing for 90 minutes because my energy was so depleted. I ate on the way to the hospital with my second and it was only four minutes of pushing. Food is good and those ice chips are teases!

Jason Kelce thinks Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty was modeled after him

Embed from Getty Images


I follow a lot of political news throughout the day, and Jason and Kylie Kelce are a nice palate cleanser. When I see a Kelce-centric headline, I know I’m usually going to either cheer them on or laugh at something they’ve said. So, what darndest thing has Jason said this time? He has his own personal conspiracy theory that one of the best, most famous sports mascots, the Philadelphia Flyers’ Gritty, was modeled after him. And yes, he is willing to die on that hill.

Jason Kelce wants credit where credit is due. The retired Philadelphia Eagles center is sharing his theory that the famed Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty was actually based on his likeness.

“I will take this to my grave. Gritty was started the year after the [2018 Super Bowl] parade,” Jason, 37, told his younger brother Travis Kelce on the Wednesday, Feb. 26 episode of their New Heights podcast. “That thing looks f—— just like me.”

After Travis tried to change the subject, Jason doubled down, declaring, “Tell me that thing is not my likeness!”

“Shut the f— up,” Travis told his brother, laughing it off.

“Dude, they stole it. Look at those eyebrows,” Jason joked.

But Travis insisted that Gritty “looks nothing like” his big brother.

“You mean to tell me after the parade, the Flyers just so happen to come out with a mascot that looks like that?” Jason questioned.

Travis wasn’t convinced, quipping, “Your eyebrows are aggressive, but they’re not that.”

Jason was firm in his stance, claiming, “They’ll never admit it. This thing, they f—— modeled this thing after me.”

A longtime Flyers fan, Jason has regularly repped the hockey team’s orange jersey and attended games. He also played hockey in his youth ahead of his football career.

Gritty was first introduced as the team’s mascot in 2018, quickly going viral for its wild antics and look. The mascot was introduced after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl.

Christine Mina, the senior manager of digital media for the Flyers, shared that after the Eagles’ 2018 win and subsequent parade, they realized they were the only Philadelphia team without a mascot.

“We were noticeably absent,” Mina told The Bleacher Report in 2021. “And I think that was sort of the last little push we needed to to get serious about it. So, summer of 2018 was when we really got to work on the concept.”

[From AOL]

LMAO at Jason’s proof being in the eyebrows. Personally, I think it’s more of the beard than the eyebrows, haha. I honestly had not seen the facial similarities before he pointed them out, but now I can’t unsee it. It’s a compelling case, that’s all I’m saying. He could have a decent chance in a Gritty look alike contest. Jason should be thanking the Flyers marketing department because he has a built-in, go-to Halloween costume.

Also, I had no idea that Gritty has only been around since 2018. He’s so popular that I just assumed he’s been around for decades. Regardless of whether or not Jason inspired any part of Gritty’s appearance, they really need to give whoever comes up with Gritty’s whole schtick a raise because it is usually really funny (the lemonade stand one absolutely slayed me) or meets the moment. I mean, Gritty is no Dragon McFartFartButtButt, but, really, who is?

Jason and Kylie Kelce have ‘talked a lot’ about him getting a vasectomy

Embed from Getty Images


Kylie Kelce’s due date has to be coming up soon. I don’t think there’s been any official confirmation other than “early spring,” but that has to be sometime in April, right? Since announcing her pregnancy in November, Kylie has been very open about it. She’s answered questions and addressed speculation on her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, and to other podcasts and news outlets. People keep asking if she and Jason Kelce are going to keep trying until they have a boy. Kylie tried to shut that sh-t down on an episode of Not Gonna Lie, warning that she would “dropkick” the next person who asked her that.

Well, someone at The Steam Room podcast didn’t get the memo. During a guest spot on last Friday’s episode, Jason was asked about their future family planning plans. Jason responded by letting them know that it’s up to Kylie whether or not she wants to have any more children. Basically, she wanted four kids and Jason’s always been along for the ride. He acknowledged that he just gets to do the “easy” part in baby-making while Kylie has the hard part by having to do the actual baby-growing. He also said that while they hadn’t come to any decision yet, a vasectomy was still on the table.

Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have discussed whether their fourth baby will be their last.

“That’s not my decision. I got the easy part and I’ll keep doing my part,” Jason, 37, quipped during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “I think Kylie’s about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things out. I think this pregnancy has been a long [one] for her. This is our fourth girl [and] this one might be it. We’ll see.”

Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and are parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. They announced in November 2024 that they are expecting again.

According to the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, there “hasn’t been any firm decisions” made on whether their fourth baby will forever be the youngest Kelce child.

We’ve talked about the V-word,” Jason teased on Friday, referring to a vasectomy procedure. “We’ve brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.”

Jason had been specifically asked whether he and Kylie were eager to keep trying until they had a son.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” Jason joked. “We got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do you want to have another child?’ Then, we’ll do that. But, I think as of right now, that’s not definitely happening.”

[From Us Weekly]

You know what? Good for Jason for being so open about what pregnancy is really like for women. The more men who hear it and understand that women are not just happy baby-making machines who can get up and cook breakfast the morning after childbirth, the better. Also, kudos for normalizing that a vasectomy is a perfectly valid option because birth control does not have to primarily fall on the woman. I can only imagine the propaganda that men hear on those MRA douche bro pods and websites. Remember Jessie James Decker’s husband, who refused to get a vasectomy because it took his manhood away from him and was then shocked when she got pregnant with an oopsie baby? Yeeeaaah, lol. We need more men with platforms like Jason, who are allies that speak bro-talk and can also get better messaging out there.

Jason Kelce Super Bowl Travis Kelce

Jason Kelce calls the Super Bowl ‘tough to process’ & ‘odd for me to watch’

Embed from Getty Images


Now that the dust is starting to settle from this year’s Super Bowl, let’s check in with Jason Kelce. Prior to the big game, Jason jokingly refused to pick sides between his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and his brother’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Instead, he said that he was rooting for Cher, although his wife, Kylie Kelce, was openly rooting for the Eagles. On last week’s episode of their New Heights podcast, he said that he was rooting for both his brother and the Eagles, and that he’d have “mixed emotions” about the outcome of the game.

We all know that the Eagles ended up winning and that Travis and his team got their a-sses handed to them. Jason, for his part, released a really nice statement, congratulating his former team and praising his brother’s talent. Calling back to his mixed emotions, he said that the game was “odd” for him watch and the outcome was “tough to process.”

In a lengthy X post on Monday, Feb. 10, Jason, 37, congratulated his former Philadelphia Eagles teammates on becoming Super Bowl LIX champions, even though their victory meant his brother Travis’ team, the Kansas City Chiefs, lost out.

“That game was odd for me to watch if I’m being completely honest. I knew it was going to be mixed emotions before, during, and after, and I now know what my parents had to deal with two years ago,” Jason wrote, referencing he and Travis’ parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, having to watch their sons’ teams compete against one another in the 2023 Super Bowl.

The siblings made history at the time when they became the first brothers to ever play each other in the sporting event.

Jason — who spent his entire 13-year NFL career playing as a center for the Eagles, before announcing his retirement in March 2024 — continued in Monday’s post, “On one hand, I wanted what is best for my brother, and to see his success. And on the other hand, there are so many people, teammates, and coaches, in the Philadelphia Eagles organization that I care deeply about, many of whom I owe my own success to throughout my career.”

The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Moving on to discuss his brother Travis, Jason said, “There isn’t a person I love or care about more. It has been tough to process these feelings, of course I feel for him and am always rooting for him, but I know he does not need, nor want my pity.”

“He has amassed greatness few on this planet could ever dream of, as has his team, and they should feel pride in their accomplishments this season and in the past,” the ESPN broadcaster said.

“I know right now they are still thinking of last night and the shortcomings in the last game, but in time that will fade, and the greatness they have exhibited as a group will remain as one of the most dominant eras of football ever,” Jason shared, insisting he loves the sport, as well as “the people that play it, and the fans that enjoy it. Nothing else like it.” He also said he’s looking forward to the victory parade on Friday, Feb. 14.

Following Sunday’s game, Travis told reporters that the Chiefs had dropped pauses and didn’t execute like they have throughout the season.

“We haven’t played that bad all year,” he said. “You don’t lose like that without everything going bad.”

[From People]

Jason’s full statement is really classy and very sweet. I love that he acknowledges how much the Eagles mean to him and then, isn’t afraid to be like, “Yeah, I love my brother.” I also like how he compared his feelings to how his parents felt two years ago, when the two brothers faced off against each other in the Super Bowl. That bit about how the Chiefs players’ feeling of defeat will “fade” over time were wise words, too. He knows what it’s like to win and to lose the Super Bowl. I know Jason has that frat boy energy, but I definitely think he plays it up a lot for his public persona. Anyway, I’m sure Jason and Travis will have a lot to talk about regarding the Super Bowl on this week’s ep of New Heights.

Here’s something to give you a little laugh. I’m sharing it because I think Jason would crack up after seeing it too. The picture is from when Jason did the pre-game show:

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, my former teammates, and friends on being SB LIX Champions!! There were a lot of emotions last night, and now that I’ve collected my thoughts, I’ll attempt to share them in the longest tweet ever.

That game was odd for me to watch if…
