Kylie Kelce sparks controversy with a strong stance on her fourth child with Jason Kelce

Kylie Kelce is never afraid to say what's on her mind. That quality has endeared her to NFL fans who first got to know her as the wife of Jason Kelce, the former star offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles. With Jason now retired from pro football, audiences are getting more Kelce content -- which includes Kylie's podcast, "Not Gonna Lie", which became a massive overnight hit last year.

In November 2024, Kylie confirmed that she was pregnant for the fourth time after giving birth to three girls with Jason. Though her due date is not until the summer of 2025, the Kelces are hard at work thinking up a name for their fourth child -- and they are taking those discussions onto Kylie's podcast.

Jason and Kylie eyeing a "gender-neutral" name for baby #4

On Thursday's episode of "Not Gonna Lie", Kylie revealed that her fourth child -- whether it is a boy or a girl at birth -- might have a "gender-neutral" first name, a bold and progressive stance in an era where a person's gender identity has become increasingly politicized and polarizing in public discourse.

"If we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think," Kylie said. "Eventually, they'll be like, 'Why did they get a cute girly name?'"

Jason and Kylie have been down this road before with five-year-old Wyatt, three-year-old Elliotte, and one-year-old Bennett ("Bennie" for short) -- all girls without stereotypically "girly" first names. Kylie even admitted on her show that Wyatt was nearly named "Charlie".

"Within, I think, six months, we had three different friends who named their kid Charlie," Kylie said, explaining why "Wyatt" was the name that stuck.

The "crossover" name debate is the latest fascinating topic that has been discussed on "Not Gonna Lie", which welcomed former United States women's national team star Alex Morgan onto Thursday's podcast. Morgan and Kelce discussed the USWNT's long fight to achieve equal pay and the repercussions for her generation of players.
