Kylie Kelce is giving insight into how she navigates the digital age with her children.
On the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the soon-to-be mom of four, 32, shared the screen time rules that she and her husband, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, 37, have implemented for their three daughters, Bennett, 2, Elliotte “Ellie,” 3, and Wyatt, 5.
While speaking with I’ll Have What She’s Having author Chelsea Handler, 50, Kylie said that she and Jason aren’t “opposed to screen time,” but they do their “best to limit it.”
“We are not opposed to screen time in our house,” she began. “I really do my best to limit it, but not in a strict way. I will pretend that I set a timer, and I will tell them one more. And then if my task that I was trying to complete is not finished, I will say, you guys were so well behaved. I’ll let you watch one more.”
“Our girls have tablets, but they only get them on planes and very rarely in the house,” she continued. “And they are not allowed to touch phones. That has been a rule from the very beginning. Occasionally, they will borrow someone’s phone and take pictures. Wyatt is really into taking selfies right now. Dad’s thrilled about that one.”

On last week’s episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie talked about all of her thoughts on kids’ birthday parties. Kylie shared the one parenting trend that she feels is “very participation trophy-esque” and “not happening” in her family.
“I am vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child’s birthday,” she said. “Our family knows, no one else is receiving a birthday present for Bennett’s birthday. Everyone gets a special day.”
“When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday. It’s not their birthday. It’s your birthday,” she continued. “I think it teaches them to a degree that just because someone’s getting presents doesn’t mean you get presents. It feels very participation trophy-esque and not happening.”
Kylie is never afraid of being candid about the realities of motherhood on her podcast. On the Thursday, Jan. 23 episode, she described raising children as the “most selfless” and “all-encompassing” thing someone will do in their life.
“At any point in the day, you do have to always be concerned about the tiny humans you’re responsible for, but I think there is a misconception that it wipes out the rest of you and makes you solely mom,” the podcast host shared.
“Whereas what we need to do is tack it on to the end of the resume and keep the rest of the s— that also defines us as who we are as people because we’re still us,” she added. “Just because we made a human being or we are a mother to a tiny human doesn’t mean that we are only mom.”
