Kylie Kelce’s Candid Moments About Her Struggles with Fame

Kylie Kelce’s fame skyrocketed after her friendship with Taylor Swift, especially when Swift began dating her husband Jason Kelce’s brother, Travis. Although Kylie and Jason were already recognized figures, they received heightened attention post their association with Swift. In a January 2024 appearance on “Good Morning America”, Kylie expressed her surprise at the public’s interest, saying, “I’m just trying to scrape applesauce off the couch.” While she appreciated the support, she admitted her discomfort with fame.

Later, during a field hockey clinic in November 2023, Kylie shared her reluctance regarding fame, stating, “It’s not really my thing to be in the spotlight.” In the same conversation, she emphasized her preference for the behind-the-scenes work in television.

Her comments came after the Kelces started socializing with Swift, leading to a New York Post headline claiming she was attempting to stay out of Swift’s limelight. Kylie countered this on TikTok, clarifying, “I said it’s not my cup of tea to have attention on me,” indicating she felt the quotes were misrepresented.

On the “Whiskey Ginger” podcast in June, Jason Kelce discussed the impact of Travis’s relationship with Taylor Swift on their lives. He commented on how being around the famous couple made their own issues seem trivial. He noted that both he and Kylie felt the pressure, especially as Kylie was increasingly uncomfortable with the public attention on their marriage. Jason remarked, “I think she’s a little bit uncomfortable,” indicating that she wasn’t prepared for the fame that accompanied their new public life.

Kylie revealed that fame brought new challenges, especially concerns for their family’s safety. She mentioned, “I never thought Jason and I would be household names,” expressing surprise at how much public interest had changed their lives, particularly regarding their children. Despite knowing there are always rumors, they have been able to ignore much of the surrounding noise.

However, one particular rumor stirred up some distress for her.

Kylie and Jason welcomed their third daughter in February 2023. Soon after, rumors about a potential fourth child surfaced. Jason humorously addressed these claims during a March episode of his “New Heights” podcast, jesting that Kylie was pregnant with a boy in “this made-up universe.” Kylie found the spread of such rumors unpleasant, showing how fame can affect personal matters.

To address the rumors definitively, Kylie shared her personal struggles with pregnancy in a June TikTok video, revealing a previous miscarriage. She expressed frustration at the insensitivity of discussions surrounding her private life, stating, “I cannot stand people writing such insensitive articles about such a sensitive topic.” She recounted how she had to face a direct question from a fan regarding her miscarriage due to the rumors.

The couple has not only faced unwanted scrutiny but also a troubling encounter with a fan. During a date night in May, a fan approached them for an autograph, and when they declined, the situation escalated. A video of the incident went viral, showcasing the fan’s overreaction and Kylie’s sharp response, “I can smell the alcohol on your breath. You’re embarrassing yourself.”
