Retired NFL legend and full-time snack fetcher Jason Kelce just hit another dad milestone: surviving two whole years of his youngest daughter, Bennett. That’s right, the littlest Kelce turned 2 on February 23, and Jason—who has officially traded in playbooks for bedtime stories—shared his deep and philosophical thoughts on parenting in the latest episode of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.
“Benny is just absolutely hilarious right now,” Jason, 37, said with the pride of a man who has witnessed a toddler experience the pure magic of unscrewing a water bottle. “She talks, but like…does she know what she’s saying? Not really. And honestly, that just makes it even better.”
The Super Bowl champ-turned-sippy cup connoisseur said his favorite thing about being a dad is watching his kids figure out life’s greatest mysteries, like, “How does one open a fridge?” and “Why does Dad keep telling me not to eat crayons?”
Jason explained, “Like, something as simple as opening the fridge? BOOM. Mind blown. As adults, we’re out here just using fridges like it’s nothing. But for a toddler? Absolute game changer. That fridge is now her entire personality for the next 48 hours.”
Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, 32, are currently running a household full of tiny humans, with daughters Wyatt (5), Elliotte (3), and birthday girl Bennett (2). And just for fun (and because they clearly love chaos), they’re expecting a fourth baby girl later this year. Jason summed up the upcoming experience with one word intense.
“By the time this baby arrives, we’ll have a 5-year-old, a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a newborn,” Jason said, probably while Googling “how to sleep with four children in the house.” “We are in it. Like, full-on survival mode.”
Meanwhile, Uncle Travis Kelce, 35, chimed in with his foolproof uncle strategy: show up, create mayhem, and immediately return the children.
“I can’t wait to get in there, rile them up, and then just hand them straight back to you,” Travis announced, clearly reveling in his role as The Fun Uncle™.
Jason, accepting his fate, just sighed and agreed: “That’s the benefit of the uncle. Uncle Travie.”
And with that, the Kelce household prepares for yet another year of toddler logic, fridge explorations, and the ever-growing wisdom of Uncle Travis’ zero responsibility approach.
