Jason Kelce issues response clarifying ‘family dynamic’ after commenter calls Kylie Kelce a homemaker
Jason Kelce is setting the record straight on the dynamics of his marriage with wife Kylie McDevitt Kelce.
On May 27, the former professional football player responded to a commenter on X about his wife’s role in their home.
The X user replied to a previous tweet from Jason Kelce and wrote: “Your wife is a homemaker. But you can’t support butker.And your wife is a homemaker whose home is a mess. Sorry but it is dirty and messy on television. Seems you’re a bit hypocritical. Y’all are going to be left with nothing but swifties. You just ruined your gig. It’s a shame.”
On May 24, the 36-year-old father of three discussed on his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce, controversial comments about women, among other topics, NFL player Harrison Butker made in a recent commencement address.
“I’ve had so many people ask me, ‘What would you do if your daughters had to sit there and listen to somebody tell them after they just earned a degree that they should just go to align to be homemakers?’” Jason Kelce said on the podcast. “And I would say if my daughters listen to anybody tell them what to do — that they should be homemakers — then I failed as a dad.”
In response to the X user who called Kylie Kelce a homemaker, Jason Kelce answered because he said he’s seen “a number of people” saying it.
“I don’t think of Kylie as a homemaker, I think of her as my wife. I think of her as a mother,” Jason Kelce wrote. “She has an occupation, as do I, and we keep our house the best we can.”
