Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s wife announced Friday that she’s pregnant with the couple’s fourth child.
Kylie Kelce posted a photo on Instagram of the couple’s three young daughters reacting to the news. The oldest daughter, Wyatt, appears to be cupping her head in shock. The middle daughter, Elliotte, is smiling. The youngest, Bennett, is in tears. All three girls are wearing pink sweaters embroidered with “Big Sister.”
A caption attached to the photo reads: “I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!”
The couple’s agent, Emily Ries, confirmed the pregnancy on Saturday.
Jason Kelce played 13 years with the Eagles before retiring this past March. He was named to the Pro Bowl seven times during his career. He appeared with the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs and his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Eagles 38-35.
Travis Kelce is dating pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Jason Kelce and Wife Kylie Announce Baby No. 4 with Hilarious Reveal

The reveal comes months after Kylie spoke out about false pregnancy reports.
“I have had a number of articles written about me since the middle of last football season stating that I am pregnant,” Jason Kelce’s wife explained. “I’m not.”
Kylie then declared that she hasn’t been pregnant since the birth of her and Jason Kelce’s third baby, Bennett, in Feb. 2023. “I cannot stand people writing such insensitive articles about such a sensitive topic,” she continued. “[It] really lights my fire.”
Kylie further shared that she had a miscarriage before the birth of her and Jason’s eldest daughter Wyatt. She noted it’s one of many reasons why she considers pregnancy questions to be troubling and inconsiderate.
“I went into my 13-week ultrasound and there was no heartbeat,” she recalled. “And I had to have a DNE a few days later.”
She then added that she does not take getting pregnant or trying to get pregnant lightly. “I think we just need to be in agreement that this is not a topic that anyone needs to be first on reporting.”
Jason Kelce Previously Spoke Out About Being a ‘Girl’ Dad, Noting He and Kylie ‘Lucked Out’ With Third Baby Bennett
A few months after welcoming Bennett, Jason Kelce gushed about being a “girl” dad. More importantly, he believed that he and Kylie “lucked out” with their third baby girl, Bennett.
“I need to knock on wood, but we really lucked out,” Jason told PEOPLE at the time. “It’s really easy, to be honest with you, so we’re still waiting for that shoe to drop.”
Jason then shared how he was keeping his eldest Wyatt and middle daughter Ellie busy as Kylie tended to then-newborn Bennett.
“Right now Kylie is attached to Bennett for pretty much the whole day,” he said. “So my job is the other two running around — and that’s the easy part. I’m having fun with them, throwing them on the sofa. We just got a playground put in out back. So it’s starting to get a lot of fun with the older two, especially.”
