Kylie Kelce, wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, recently discussed how she navigates awkward but inevitable conversations with her four daughters – Wyatt (6), Elliotte (4), Bennett (2), and Finnley (9 months). The topic? Direct questions about how babies are made, including their apparent fascination with the word “penis.”
Keeping Explanations Simple
On her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, Kelce revealed her go-to response: “When two people love each other enough, their love gets them a baby.” She prefers this approach because it avoids overly complicated explanations, and accommodates diverse family structures. This method allows for adaptability as the children grow.
“It’s just people love each other and people want babies and then they get babies…because of love. Done.”
Correct Terminology, Age-Appropriate Boundaries
Kelce also emphasizes using accurate anatomical terms when referring to body parts. While she avoids graphic diagrams, she wants her daughters to be prepared for more in-depth discussions later. The family’s current focus is simply acknowledging the fascination with the word “penis,” which Kelce humorously attributes to a household full of “ginas.”
Relatability and Real Talk
Kelce’s open discussion resonates with many parents who struggle with similar questions. She jokes about the chaos of motherhood, admitting things are “not great” but manageable with Jason’s support. Her candid approach offers a relatable take on raising children in a world where blunt questions are unavoidable.
The takeaway? Honest, simple explanations combined with accurate terminology can make tough conversations easier. It’s a practical reminder that parenting is messy, and sometimes, the best approach is just keeping it real.
