Kylie Kelce Reveals the One Thing That Makes Someone the Perfect Houseguest

by Kelsi Karruli

Kylie Kelce has revealed what a visitor needs to do to be the perfect guest in their home—and it has to do with impressing her and her NFL-star husband Jason Kelce's daughters.

On a recent episode of her podcast, "Not Gonna Lie," the mom of four revealed that their daughters— Finnley, 18 months, Bennett, 3, Elliotte, 5, and Wyatt, 7—love having guests read to them.

“I know one way to my girls’ hearts, and really kids, I always tell people you don’t need to bring gifts when you come to our house. If you come in, you sit down, you offer to read our girls a book, they will be like forever," she revealed.

Kelce added, “Like genuinely, we have obviously family [that] will come and they’ll bring this and they’ll bring that, but if when you come and you sit down, you read a book, I think it’s one of the best ways to connect with kids.”

The glimpse of her houseguest request came just days after she defended her and her spouse's decision to snap up multiple Philadelphia properties right next to each other.

In an episode of her podcast, which featured guest Nikki Glaser, Kelce, 34, and the comedian chatted about hate comments.

"Do you ever get in the comments? Do you ever get feisty?” Glaser asked.

In her reply, Kelce detailed an Instagram account that frequently posts information about their real estate.

“One of the ones that I did it—which was not to a person so it doesn’t really feel as aggressive—was like ‘Celeb Homes.’ They put a bird’s-eye view of where we live with our children, and they were trying to give details of our property," she said.

The account then revealed that the Kelce family had also purchased the home "next door."

“[They were like], ‘Why would you need this many houses?’ And I’m like, ‘for f---ing security and privacy, you pieces of s--t.' They left the post up, so it’s still there. You can still find it," Kelce explained.

“‘Why would anyone need three neighboring properties?’ For safety, privacy, and security. Get the f outta here," reads the comment Kelce left.

She then told the comedian, "I think I typed ‘get f---ed.’ And then when I tried to post it, it wouldn’t let me. Why? I want to tell people to get f---ed."

Her admission came after she offered a glimpse of the family's childcare arrangements during an appearance on an episode of "IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson." She explained that she and the former Philadelphia Eagles star prefer to keep their relatives closely involved in raising their children.

The couple have built a support system that allows them to balance their professional commitments with family life.

A major part of that arrangement involves Kelce's parents, Lisa and Ed McDevitt, who live just 15 minutes from the family's Philadelphia-area home.

Kelce explained that her parents regularly help care for the girls, making it possible for her and Jason to navigate their busy schedules without relying on round-the-clock childcare.

Although the couple do employ a nanny, Kelce revealed that the arrangement is limited to traditional working hours rather than having someone live in their home.

“My husband and I have very busy schedules. We don’t necessarily want a live-in nanny or someone who’s going to be raising our kids void of us. That feels weird. So we do a lot with my parents every chance we get. We do things with Jason’s parents. We find that those are the values that we were raised with that we want our kids to have, not just because we tell them that, but because we live it," she explained.

The decision, she explained, reflects their desire to remain actively involved in their daughters' everyday lives.

Rather than bringing in someone to provide full-time care, the Kelces turn to their extended family for additional support.

Kelce said maintaining those close family relationships is particularly important because she wants her daughters to grow up with the same values that shaped her and Jason's childhoods.

She also emphasized how grateful she is for the nanny who helps the family during the workday, acknowledging that the additional support is essential to managing their responsibilities.

However, the couple's approach to childcare goes beyond convenience.

For Kelce, living close to her parents has been a priority, and she admitted that the thought of settling somewhere far from her family has never appealed to her.

“We couldn’t do it without my parents. My parents live 15 minutes from us, and they have helped us in every way imaginable," she said.

The Pennsylvania native explained that remaining in the area where she grew up has allowed her to preserve those relationships while raising her own family.

That connection to her hometown has also influenced the kind of upbringing she hopes to provide her daughters.

Kelce wants the girls to become familiar with the places that shaped her childhood, from local businesses to the community organizations that continue to play a role in her life.

She believes that growing up with those personal connections can help children develop a stronger sense of responsibility toward the communities around them.

Her own involvement with the Eagles Autism Foundation is one example of how she has maintained those local ties.

For Kelce, the opportunity to contribute to the community where she was raised is another benefit of remaining close to home.

However, she did shout out their nanny.

“Now, granted, we do have a nanny. I always give a shoutout because we couldn’t do it without her, but we have her during regular work hours and really nothing outside of that," she added.
