Kylie Kelce speaks positively about her post-pregnancy body in front of her children – even if she has conflicting feelings on the inside.

The 34-year-old media personality thinks it is important to promote body positivity in front of her and her 38-year-old husband, ex-Philadelphia Eagles centre Jason Kelce’s daughters, Wyatt, six, Elliotte, five, Bennett, three, and 15-month-old Finn.
On the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie admitted to guest Olympic rugby sevens player Ilona Maher: “Sometimes it is a conscious effort to talk about my body in a positive way in front of my kids.
“I will say things in front of my daughters where I am actively speaking the opposite of what my brain is telling me.”
Recently, Kylie was told by one of her daughters that she looked pregnant in a skirt, and Kylie gently corrected the youngster’s misunderstanding with a thoughtful response.
Kylie recalled: “She goes, ‘It looks like you have a baby in your belly!’ I do not – just to be clear – and I was like, got it, maybe this isn’t the skirt to wear.
“I’m like, ‘Oh no, that’s where my organs are,’ and, ‘Mom carried all four of you in this belly, how special is that?’
“And so those are the moments where I’m like, you know what? I do look pregnant in this skirt, and I don’t want to look pregnant if I’m not pregnant. I would love to have a flat situation going on, but then I have to say out loud to my kids, ‘That’s where your organs are. And that’s where I made you.'”
Ilona, 29, quipped: “So you threw that skirt out though?”
Kylie – who calls her positive talk “manifesting” – responded: “She will not see the light of day for quite some time.”
Elliotte recently described her mom’s stomach as “so squishy”, and it reminded the podcaster that her body is not going to be how it was before having children.
Kylie said: “That’s where I have to have the active thought of, ‘Obviously your stomach doesn’t look the same, Kylie! You carried four human beings. Your stomach was big enough to fit 8.5 lb. babies four times. That’s crazy!'”
Elsewhere, Kylie’s soon-to-be sister-in-law, pop megastar Taylor Swift, wants to have children with her fiance, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, both 36.
In the track, Wi$h Li$t, Taylor looks to the future and sees her life as a wife and mother.
She sings: “I just want you / Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin’ like you / We tell the world to leave us the f*** alone … and they do / Wow /
“Got me dreamin’ ’bout a driveway with a basketball hoop / Boss up, settle down, got a wishlist / I just want you /
“I made wishes on all of the stars / Please, God, bring me a best friend / Who I think is hot / I thought I had it right once, twice, but I did not /
“You caught me off my guard / I hope I get what I want / ‘Cause I know what I want.”
Taylor and Travis are reportedly getting married at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the Fourth of July weekend.
