Kylie Kelce says Jason Kelce defending her online is one of the "many reasons I love him."
Kylie Kelsey loves it when her husband Jason Kelsey has her back.
After Jason recently defended her online over comments that she is a "housewife," Kylie told Us Weekly that this is "one of the many, many reasons I love him so much."
Kylie also credits Jason's mother, Donna Kells, with instilling in him the knowledge that women can be strong and independent.
"I tell everyone I wish I had the ability to travel like my mother-in-law. I think those traits helped him understand that women can be a kind of strong force," she told the magazine as part of her partnership with HP's Print Pals, in collaboration with the Eagles Autism Foundation.
"And even though they're not together anymore, his parents were very supportive in how they functioned, it was a team effort," Kylie added.
"He's carried that into adulthood, and he sets an example of respect and love for me every day."The "housewife" drama arose when Jason denounced a comment made by Chiefs player Harrison Bakker in a viral commencement speech in which he assumed that graduating women were most excited about becoming wives and mothers rather than embarking on a career path.
Someone on X called Kylie a "housewife whose home is a mess," and Jason put the appropriate words to them.
"I don't consider Kylie a housewife. I consider her a mother. She has a career, just like me, and we keep house as much as we can." [Our marriage is a partnership, we are equals, and we see that every day. The only expectation is that we love each other, support each other, and dedicate ourselves to our family, that's first and foremost."
In an interview with Cheddar released Thursday, Kylie, as the mother of three daughters, was asked for her opinion on certain aspects of Bakker's speech.
"I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion," she said.
"Even if some people don't agree with the opinions of those graduates, I want them to know that those graduates accomplished something that no one can take away from them. Their academic career is something that will affect them for the rest of their lives, and even if it wasn't their idea, I hope that they are properly celebrated." [And if it was, and if they are looking forward to starting a family and becoming full-time homemakers, more power to them. As women, I think we should support each other's choices."
On the podcast "New Heights," which he shares with his brother Travis Kells, Jason said, "If I had to listen to my daughters hear someone say, 'You should be a housewife,' I would be an unfit father."
"What are you talking about? Someone on stage tells me I can't do that, and I'm like, 'Oh, I'm not going to be a Fortune 500 CEO,' as if I was never going to be successful. What are you talking about?'
"All you have to do is say, 'He's a fucking moron. And then move on. I don't know what all the fuss is about."
Laugh it up, Jason.
