NEED TO KNOW
- Kylie Kelce opened up about being bullied in high school for her height on her podcast Not Gonna Lie
- She reflected on how her height made childbirth easier, saying the bullying was worth it in hindsight
- Kylie and her husband Jason Kelce share four daughters together
Kylie Kelce took the time to call out an unnamed high school bully on the Thursday, Sept. 17, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast.
The 34-year-old wife of Jason Kelce and mom of four opened up about how her height has helped her when it came time to carry her children and give birth.
“The first time I walked in my OB office when I was pregnant the first time around, one of the doctors walked past me,” she recalled. “He was an older gentleman who, you know, had just seen everything under the sun. And he was like, ‘You’ll be fine.’ And I was like, ‘Is he talking to me?’ ”
Kylie explained that the man was referring to her 5 feet 11 inches height, which she noted, “I was four times.”

The podcaster’s guest Allison Kuch then quipped, “Honestly, like the bullying in middle school was worth it if birth is that easy for me.”
The Philadelphia native agreed, noting she speaks from experience.
“There’s one individual — I refuse to say his name on this podcast — he called me a man almost every day of junior year,” Kylie said. “And I don’t know if it’s just that he was shorter than me or what. It was clearly based on his own insecurities, but I will tell you what. I’ll take getting called a man every day of junior year just to have those children just walk clean out of my vagina.”
Kylie and Jason are parents to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 1. And while Kylie has had healthy pregnancies and deliveries, she’s been candid in the past about not enjoying pregnancy.
“I’m a mean pregnant lady,” Kylie shared on a previous podcast in December 2025. “I’m so mean. I’m mean just like for sport. It’s, honestly, looking back, horrible.”
And while most of the time, Kylie said the meanness is involuntary, she recalled having several moments of realization while pregnant.
“Occasionally, I have a lucid moment while I’m pregnant where I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re mean,’ And then guess what? I go right back to being mean,” Kylie admitted. “It’s a miracle my husband’s put up with it this many times.”
Upon reflection, Kylie said, “I’m horrified by my behavior.”

Once their girls arrived, Kylie was smitten, recently sharing the reason she and Jason had four kids.
“Why do they want to leave? Why do they always wanna leave you?” she jokingly questioned. “To be fair, my second is the one who told me she would never leave me. Ellie has told me that she’s going to live with us forever. Jason doesn’t necessarily agree with this, but I think that we had four kids to better our odds of at least one never leaving us.”
