Jason Kelce reveals why his kids think he is a ‘bad dad’ as wife Kylie prepares for their fourth child

JASON Kelce’s parenting approach isn’t as appreciated in the eyes of his wife Kylie and their three kids as he thinks.

Philadelphia Eagles icon Kelce, who retired from NFL duties last season, has opened up about life with his three daughters on ‘New Heights’, the podcast he presents with brother Travis.

Kelce’s daughters, Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, haven’t been the biggest fans of their fathers’ easy-going tendencies, including wanting them to try things and face fears.

“I keep trying to get my kids to … go and do stuff, because I feel like that’s how I overcame [fears], you just go and do it and you’re like, ‘Oh, that isn’t that bad,’ “ Jason, 37, said. “My kids won’t do it.”

Jason alongside Travis recalled that their dad, Ed, made them bat away their pessimism by trying different activities they were afraid of such as playing hockey.

“It doesn’t work for my kids, though, they act like I’m being a bad dad by forcing them to do stuff they don’t want to do,” Jason insisted. “That’s part of being a dad,” he added.

“I respect it,” Travis, Super Bowl finalist, told his older brother.

“Kylie doesn’t,” Jason said of his wife. “She’s like, ‘I have to deal with it.’ I’m like, ‘They’ll be fine. Trust me. Ed Kelce did this to me. It’ll be good. I’m just gonna spin this little teapot around.’”

Travis, 35, is preparing for his third straight Super Bowl appearance with the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans this weekend.

The Big Game reignites the 2023 matchup against Jason’s cherished ex-team the Eagles.

Jason, who had a 12 year association with the franchise was part of the last team to win a Super Bowl in 2018.

In stern loyalism, Jason and spouse Kylie confirmed they will be cheering against Travis on the day at Caesars Superdome.

Nonetheless, Sunday’s showpiece aside, the Chiefs superstar tight end raved about his relationship with his three nieces on the episode.

“Those girls warm my heart,” Travis said about Jason’s daughters. “They’re the absolute best.

“Kylie and Jason are the just unbelievable parents. It’s fun that they have another one coming. But that place is going to be chaos.”

For Travis, the Super Bowl represents history and despite his public affection for the Eagles, the boyfriend of Taylor Swift will want to be part of the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

“I feel like Lane Johnson is one of my brothers. Jordan Mailata is one of my brothers… over the course of (Jason’s) entire career, I’ve got to know just about every Eagle there has been,” he said.


“It’s definitely a family affair, I still feel very close to a lot of the people in that building, and I know my brother does too.”

As for how retried life his treating Jason, he and his family recently had a trip at Disney World after Jason’s appearance at the Pro Bowl weekend.

“I went to Disney the following day with the fam. And Dan gave me the shout-out. Said, ‘Hey. Go to the Dawa Bar, Animal Kingdom, two Jungle Juices,” Jason said. “It was perfect. It tasted great. Perfect level for walking around with a bunch of kids. It’s ideal. It really made the safari 10 times better.”

The former Eagles linchpin added, “The Rhinos are moving, I don’t give a f—, this is great.”
