Kylie Kelce recently shared a humorous perspective on a popular sentiment circulating online about her daughter Elliotte. The pregnant mom of three joked that she is “slightly offended” that fans believe her second eldest daughter, Elliotte, who is three years old, is a carbon copy of her husband’s brother, NFL star Travis Kelce.
“The internet has run away with the fact that she looks like Travis, which I am slightly offended by,” Kylie joked in a teaser for her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that was released on Wednesday. “I was blonde, I had one dimple. I very much feel like Ellie could pass for looking like mom.”
While Kylie took the comparison in stride, she also made a playful plea for a bit of recognition, hinting that she would love for her kids to resemble her more.
Kylie is well aware that her two other daughters, Wyatt, age five, and Bennett, age one, share far more of their father’s genes. Both girls, whom she shares with her husband Jason Kelce, are often described as looking very much like their father.
“If we could hop off the whole ‘Ellie looks like Travis’ train, that would be greatly appreciated,” Kylie laughed. “That’s the only one I have any chance of having any claim to when it comes to looking alike.” She made it clear that Elliotte is the one daughter who she feels bears a resemblance to her, and she would prefer if people saw that side more.
Kylie then humorously acknowledged her husband’s strong genetic influence over their children. “We are so lucky that my husband makes cute girls,” Kylie said. “When you look at Wyatt’s baby pictures and Jason’s baby pictures side-by-side, it looks like we have cloned him.”

Reflecting on her experience as a mom, Kylie admitted that when their eldest, Wyatt, arrived, she initially found it a bit disheartening that her firstborn looked entirely like Jason. “I complained a lot when Wyatt arrived. It looked like I had nothing to do with it,” she said. Joking further, she added, “If I had not pushed her out myself, I would not believe that I had any part in making her.”
As Kylie and Jason prepare to welcome baby number four, Kylie is still hopeful that this next child will take after her in some way. “Trust me, I am trying desperately to make a child that has any, any resemblance to me,” she quipped, adding with a smile that many of her female friends told her their sons ended up looking like them. However, she admitted that she and Jason “don’t have that recipe.”
Kylie and Jason Kelce announced the news of their fourth pregnancy in November, sharing a heartwarming photo on Instagram of their three daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett, all wearing matching “big sister” sweaters.
Each girl had a unique reaction to the news, perfectly captured in the snapshot: Wyatt looked surprised, Elliotte looked thrilled, and baby Bennett looked absolutely horrified.
“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie captioned the post with humor. “At least Ellie, mom, and dad are on the same page!”
Kylie’s candid and relatable sense of humor continues to shine as she navigates motherhood, with all its joys, surprises, and, of course, hilarious moments.
Her playful take on the ongoing comparisons between her kids and their famous family members is a reminder that, at the end of the day, family is about love—and laughter—no matter who the kids look like.
