Philadelphia:
Kylie Kelce, the 33-year-old wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, has candidly opened up about the lasting pain of suffering a miscarriage seven years ago, stating that “it still hurts.” Kylie, who now has four daughters—Wyatt (six), Elliotte (four), Bennett (two), and Finn (six months)—conceived in August 2018 but tragically lost the baby at 12 weeks.
Speaking on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast to mark Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month in October, Kylie emphasized the enduring nature of her grief. “I emphasize the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it’s okay,” she shared emotionally.
Kylie recalled how she and Jason had traveled to London for a Philadelphia Eagles game just before their 12-week appointment. They had planned a heartfelt surprise for Jason’s family. “We made it a point to surprise Jason’s mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting,” she said, recalling recording the interactions with his parents, Aunt Judy, and Grandma Mary.
The podcaster described how everything “went into slow motion” when the doctor could not find the baby on the doppler during her appointment. “I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one because there isn’t one,’” she recounted.
Kylie admitted that the loss “messed with [her] brain” and dramatically altered how she approached subsequent pregnancies. “For Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks,” she detailed. “For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks.”
She concluded by revealing the extent of her anxiety: “I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.”
