Kylie Kelce admits her husband Jason Kelce is not watching the kids while she is busy — and fans are not okay about it.
The 32-year-old pregnant mom-of-three made that much clear when she answered fan questions for her new podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce. She shared a clip to X (formerly Twitter) on December 5, and it has since gone viral with over 1 million views.
"Jason won't be watching the girls while @kyliekelce is recording, but there's a good reason for that," read the caption for the video in which Kylie admitted she hires childcare for their little girls even when the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 37, is at home.

In the clip, Kylie looked skeptical as she read a question asking if Jason was watching their daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1 — while she podcasts. She laughed as she bluntly began, "How do I say this nicely?"
"No," she answered, with a look on her face that suggested the response should have been implied. "When I have to do something — coaching, something for Eagles Autism Foundation, a doctor's appointment, even — I will schedule childcare." She noted that Jason could tell her "72 times" that he will be at home when she is busy, but she "will still schedule childcare."
Kylie, who has been married to Jason since 2018, explained, "It is not a knock on my husband," but rather he is too busy to watch the kids. "My husband is busier than he has ever been. He is working so hard and really grinding right now, and so I just make sure that I'm covered."
Jason may have retired from the Eagles, but he has become a commentator on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown, is co-host of a podcast worth over $100 million, and just recently announced his new late night talk show on ESPN.
Fans seemed to particularly call out one section of the video, in which Kylie admits, "And if that means that he's [Jason's] at the house, and someone else is there, then that's what we have going on. He will not be watching the kids. He's not watching them right now."
"It sounds like kylie also has a 37 year old son at home," one person posted on X.
Another wondered, "You dont.. trust your husband around your girls? Exactly why are you married again?"
A third response, which boasts over 400K views, read, "straight women are not okay. i can't imagine being married to someone i don't trust with my kids. Insane."
Many posts suggested Kylie "get a divorce," while another response read, "the fact that he still gets praised as a great dad despite this not being the first time she says she doesn't trust jason with their kids is crazy."
The comments were not only negative, however, with some fans jumping to Kylie's defense.
"I beg y'all to listen and think critically. She never implied that he can't or won't patent [sic] his children. She's taking care of her own sanity and personal responsibilities because his schedule is not necessarily his own," one X user posted.
Another fan commented, "This is what people with money do they get childcare, this is not a huge deal in the big scheme of things."
"The way people took this and just created a whole a** narrative of abuse and mistrust is INSANE!" another fan posted.
The viral video comes after Jason became a meme for blaming his wardrobe for the Kelce documentary premiere on his wife, who his brother Travis Kelce pointed out, was also responsible for getting the children ready.
"Why didn't Jason bring jeans for Jason?" has become a joke with fans of the brothers' New Heights podcast after the Monday Night Countdown star tried to blame Kylie for not bringing his jeans, when he could have packed them himself.
After Travis pushed back a bit, Jason finally admitted, "Alright, I'm realizing now I probably can't blame Kylie for this."
The couple, who initially met on Tinder in 2015, announced in November that they were expecting their fourth daughter together.
