Kylie Kelce has clapped back at online critics who claimed her daughters have “boy names,” dismissing the backlash as “pure rage bait.”
Kelce, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, made the comments on a recent episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast.
And she’s not gonna lie – she doesn’t give a rip that a fan is upset about their daughter’s “boy names” because she and her husband are fans of giving their kids “gender-neutral names.”
“I’ll tell you what’s with the boys’ names,” she said. “We, my husband and I, liked gender-neutral names for our daughters.”
Kylie and Jason Kelce have four girls: Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and they recently welcomed Finn into the fold seven months ago.
Kylie Kelce doesn’t care what you think
Something clearly set Mrs. Kelce off here. To make an example out of one question submitted by a football fan and absolutely lose your mind over it. Kylie says she doesn’t care what people think, but she clearly cares what people think.
“The part that I take issue with on people having issue with our names is that I actually didn’t ask. I didn’t ask what you thought about my kids’ names,” she said, still answering the critics.
“My husband and I agreed on the names. We like them. You, honestly, you should try naming a human being. It’s not easy. And so, yeah, I’m good.”
It’s not that hard. Sometimes it takes a little longer to settle on a name, but it’s not that hard.

Why the gender-neutral names?
Kylie Kelce eventually explained the couple’s fascination with gender-neutral names. She doesn’t have to, of course. But you’d think a little background would be in order since you’re going to take that “rage bait” and go off on a tangent in the first place.
Wyatt, she said, was named before they knew the child’s sex and felt it was a nice name regardless of whether the baby turned out to be a boy or a girl.
“Elliotte’s nickname is Ellie, so you can f— off,” she added.
Ellie can also be short for Elizabeth, making it unnecessary to name her after the little boy in E.T. So there’s that. Kylie, though, has a suggestion for someone like me with the little jokes about her and Jason Kelce giving their girls boy names.
“You know what the theme of this episode, besides giving thanks, might be? Getting f—– because they can get f—–,” she said. “How ‘bout that?”
Point taken.
Jason Kelce spent the entirety of his 13-year NFL career with the Eagles, earning seven Pro Bowl nods and leading the team to a Super Bowl LII victory.
