NEED TO KNOW
- Kylie Kelce shut down commentary about women “bouncing back” after giving birth on her Not Gonna Lie podcast Thursday, July 17
- “Every single person I’ve seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time,” said the mother of four
- Kylie and husband Jason Kelce welcomed their fourth child, daughter Finnley, on March 30
Kylie Kelce is not here for comments on her post-baby body.
The 33-year-old mother of four welcomed her youngest child, Finnley “Finn” Anne, on March 30. And on the Thursday, July 17, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, she called discussion surrounding her bouncing back after giving birth “f—– up.”
“You know what’s f—– up? The phrase ‘bounce back’ after pregnancy,” said Kylie, who shares four daughters with husband Jason Kelce: Finn plus big sisters Wyatt Elizabeth, 5½, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Bennett Llewellyn, 2.
“Here’s the problem: Every single person I’ve seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time,” she added.

Kylie isn’t interested in people making those comments about her, well-intentioned or not.
“For all the people who are in the comments saying things like, ‘You look fantastic after having Finn,’ or, ‘You look amazing after having your fourth,’ first of all, I know that you mean that nicely, but at the end of the day, if I looked like this and I hadn’t just had my fourth child, would you say I look tired? Because, yes, I’m very tired,” Kylie explained.
She continued, “My point is that we don’t need to comment on the fact that a woman is postpartum and how she is doing with her postpartum journey physically.”
Kylie went on to say that she’d prefer if people were “more concerned about the overall well-being of women postpartum” rather than their physical appearance.
“I don’t think that we need to bounce back,” she explained. “And also, there are some things that we as women who have just grown humans cannot bounce back. I can’t bounce back my stretch marks. They’re with me forever.”

True to form, Kylie kept it real when it came to her stretch marks, admitting, “Do I like them? Let’s be honest: no. I liked when my tummy didn’t have a bunch of little ridges in it. But guess what? It does. Do I still look damn good? Yes.”
The candid mom said that the “worst” part her postpartum mindset is “comparison to either your body before you had kids or people around you.”

She urged others to “cut it out,” adding, “We do not need to compare ourselves, ladies. You don’t need to compare yourselves to the person you were before you had kids because, news flash, she didn’t f—ing have kids. Okay?”
“And you don’t have to compare yourself to those around you, because there is beauty in the fact that we are unique from each other,” Kylie said.
