Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce shares four daughters with wife Kylie. The Super Bowl champion has been candid about his and Kylie’s experiences parenting girls.
But their willingness to bring some aspects of their personal lives to the public has, at times, given online critics the opportunity to share their opinions — even in cases when they were not asked for.
During a recent edition of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Kylie addressed the topic of her children’s names.

Kylie took issue with the line of questioning that asserted her daughters were given “boy names.” She described the question as “rage bait.”

“This next question appears to be pure rage bait. ‘What’s with the boy names?’ I’ll tell you what’s with the boys’ names,” Kelce said. “We, my husband and I, liked gender-neutral names for our daughters.”

Jason’s and Kylie’s daughters are named Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 4; Bennett, 2; and Finn, 7 months. Kylie added that the name Wyatt was selected before she or Jason learned the gender.
Kylie made it clear that she was not seeking out unsolicited opinions about the names she and Jason settled on for their children.
“The part that I take issue with on people having issue with our names is that I actually didn’t ask. I didn’t ask what you thought about my kids’ names. My husband and I agreed on the names. We like them. You, honestly, you should try naming a human being. It’s not easy. And so, yeah, I’m good.”

During a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which Jason co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, the 38-year-old former NFL star revealed he is often in sync with his wife when it comes to disciplining their children.
“We’re on the same page almost all the time,” Jason said. “We’re both pretty disciplinarian when it comes to the girls.”

He also recalled the feelings he experienced when he first became a father.
“When I first found out I was having Wyatt, I was like, ‘Okay. I’m not gonna raise her any different than how I would raise a boy. Like, I’m gonna make her tough and disciplined, and I’m not gonna be like this, like, daddy’s daughter who’s getting everything she wants,’” he said.
“Then the moment she came out, it was very hard to not be that dad… it is very difficult when they look at me a certain way to not cave, like, instantaneously.”

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has identified a host of athletic competitions it classifies as “major sporting events” — aside from soccer’s 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games — that athletes and coaches will be allowed to travel to the U.S. to take part in despite a broad visa ban on nearly 40 countries.
In a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates Wednesday, the State Department said athletes, coaches and support staff for the World Cup, the Olympics and events endorsed or run by a long list of collegiate and professional sporting leagues and associations would not be subject to the full and partial travel bans that apply to citizens of 39 countries and the Palestinian Authority.
However, the cable made clear that foreign spectators, media and corporate sponsors planning to attend the same events would still be banned unless they qualify for another exemption.
“Only a small subset of travelers for the World Cup, Olympics and Paralympics, and other major sporting events will qualify for the exception,” it said.
President Donald Trump’s administration has issued a series of immigration and travel bans as well as other visa restrictions as part of ongoing efforts to tighten U.S. entry standards for foreigners. At the same time, the administration has been looking to ensure that athletes, coaches and fans are able to attend major sporting events in the U.S.
Trump’s Dec. 16 proclamation banning the issuance of visas to the 39 countries and the Palestinian Authority had carved out an exception for athletes and staff competing in the World Cup, the Olympics and other major sporting events. It delegated a decision on which other sporting events would be covered to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Wednesday’s cable lists the events that are covered, including “all competitions and qualifying events” for the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Pan-American Games, and Para Pan-American Games; events hosted, sanctioned or recognized by a U.S. National Governing Body; all competitions and qualifying events for the Special Olympics; and official events and competitions hosted or endorsed by FIFA, soccer’s governing body, or its confederations.
The exemption also will cover official events and competitions hosted by the International Military Sports Council, the International University Sports Federation and the National Collegiate Athletic Association as well as those hosted or endorsed by U.S. professional sports leagues such as the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and Women’s National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball and Little League, National Hockey League, Professional Women’s Hockey League, NASCAR, Formula 1, the Professional Golf Association, Ladies Professional Golf Association, LIV Golf, Major League Rugby, Major League Soccer, World Wrestling Entertainment, Ultimate Fighting Championship and All Elite Wrestling.
The cable said other events and leagues could be added to the list.
Of the 39 countries, a full travel ban applies to Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Niger, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and people with Palestinian Authority-issued passports.
A partial ban is in place for citizens of Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burundi, Cuba, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Mauritania, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Togo, Venezuela, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
