Kylie Kelce is familiar with the fading enthusiasm that comes with announcing four pregnancies.

“As we have announced our consecutive pregnancies, I think people are less [excited] like, they're like, ‘Oh, congratulations,' ” Kylie said. “By the fourth one, people are like, ‘Congrats. You know, you guys don't have to touch each other?' ”
Kylie, who has been married to the retired NFL star since 2018, added that some of her loved ones have said, “Guys, could you just not? You guys could, you guys could not. You know? Every so often when you say you have four kids, people look at you like, ‘Do you guys know about contraceptives?' ”

Kylie and Jason are parents to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 13 months, and have spoken candidly about wanting a big family and even being open to expanding their family in the past.

"I'm biased again," she admitted, explaining that each of her daughters are no more than two years apart. "It's great. I love it."
However, there are some downsides to having kids close in age, which Kylie opened up about during the latest podcast episode on Thursday.
“We're gearing up for our first — NO! — we're gearing up for our first kindergarten graduation,” Kylie said, audibly choked up. “I'm not feeling great about it. I'm feeling pretty sad. Super casual.”
