Kylie Kelce couldn’t hold back the tears as she discussed the tragic moment she learned of her miscarriage seven years ago.
In the latest episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the wife of Jason Kelce – with whom she shares four daughters with – discussed the heartbreaking ordeal.
Kylie explained that, prior to their eldest child Wyatt, she had received her first positive pregnancy test in August 2018 and that, after a few trips to the doctor, everything seemed normal.
She explained that the couple then travelled to London, as Jason’s Eagles were playing there, which is when they revealed her pregnancy news to family and friends.
‘By the time we went to London, I was supposed to be 12 weeks. We made it a point to surprise Jason’s mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting,’ she said.
However, upon return, Kylie recalled her visit to the doctor and the moment she discovered that she’d had a ‘missed miscarriage’.

‘It felt like everything went into slow motion,’ she said. ‘And they could not find the baby on the doppler.’
‘I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one because there isn’t one’.
‘They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realize that the pregnancy was no longer viable.’
‘It was a s***ty day because it was Jason’s birthday. I called my mom and told her that I couldn’t tell Jason because it was his birthday, which seems very silly.
‘It seems very silly because obviously I’m going to tell my husband what happened. And I did. And it was hard for both of us.’
Despite the tragic ordeal, Jason and Kelce have gone to have a large family and share four daughters, Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, six months.
However, Kylie admitted that the experience of a miscarriage in her first pregnancy created a mental barrier when they tried again later down the line.
‘Having had that experience then messed with my brain for every consecutive pregnancy,’ she admitted.

‘So for Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks. For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks.
‘I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.’
This isn’t the first time that Kylie has discussed the harrowing incident. She previously touched on it in a TikTok last summer – but spared the details with her followers.
After rumors circulated that she was pregnant – which was prior to Finn’s birth – she said: ‘I went into my 13-week ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. And I had to have a DNE a few days later.’
‘So I do not take getting pregnant or trying to get pregnant lightly. And I think we just need to be in agreement that this is not a topic that anyone needs to be first on reporting.’
