Kylie Kelce has shared that she finds it important to have some quiet time alone every day as being a parent can be challenging. The mother of three mentioned that she makes it a point to carve out time for herself before beginning her day as it positively impacts her overall well-being. She revealed that she sometimes asks their babysitter, Lauren, to come a little earlier so she can enjoy a peaceful moment having coffee on her own.

"I prefer getting my coffee to go and sitting in my car in peace rather than going into the coffee shop to sit," she mentioned. She added that being alone with her thoughts is something that she finds enjoyable.

"Sometimes I make the whole trip to the coffee shop and back without even turning on the radio. I don't even realize it because I just love sitting in silence with my thoughts and enjoying a good cup of coffee," she elaborated.

Her husband, Jason Kelce, 36, recently retired from the NFL after playing 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. This means he is now at home more, helping raise their daughters Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 13 months.

Even with Jason around more to pitch in with the kids, she still relies on her friends and family for moral support during overwhelming times.

"Sometimes you just have to talk about the tough stuff," she shared. "Parenting isn't always easy. It's a wonderful experience, but it comes with its challenges." Kylie recommended parents to "acknowledge the difficulties and struggles, because it helps in appreciating the good moments even more."

During an appearance on Today, she playfully mentioned that it's about time for her husband to return to work.

"He needs a break," she mentioned. "It's not just about me wanting him out of the house, it's more like he could really use some time away. With three little ones to take care of, I don't think playing golf is going to be enough."

In his retirement speech in March, Jason got emotional as he reminisced about the night he first met Kylie. He tearfully described her as beautiful, intelligent, serious yet fun-loving. He knew she was the one from the very start.

Kylie said she is “so glad” the early days of their relationship were not highly publicized, unlike Jason’s brother Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

Kylie Kelce didn't directly talk about the relationship between Travis and Swift. However, she mentioned to Today that their family is pleased as long as Travis, who is 34 years old, is happy. Travis and Swift, who are both 34 years old, started dating shortly after Travis attended a concert of the Eras Tour in Kansas City, Missouri in July 2023.

Kylie shared that they are always cheering on Uncle Trav, both on and off the field, which has been a great experience.

Since stepping down from the team, many fans have been excited about the possibility of Jason returning to football as a sports broadcaster. Kylie mentioned on Monday that she believes he is talented in everything he tries and that he is full of ideas, so anything is possible.

Kylie and Jason both dedicate their time to support important causes. Kylie recently appeared on Today to support the Eagles Autism Foundation, which raises money for autism awareness and research, and hosts events for children with autism. Jason, on the other hand, works with the (Be)Philly Foundation to support the academic journeys of Philadelphia youth.
