Jason Kelce is setting the record straight on the dynamics of his marriage with wife Kylie McDevitt Kelce.

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.”

Kylie Kelce has played an active role in raising money for the Philadelphia Eagles Autism Foundation, and she’s coached high school field hockey.

“Our marriage is a partnership, we are equals who are figuring it out on the daily,” Jason Kelce continued. “The only expectation is that we love each other, support one another, and are committed to our family, that comes first.”

He went on to explain that their roles in the home and as parents to their daughters aren’t divided nor gendered.

“We both raise our kids, we both work, We both keep our home. It is both our faults it is messy, but such is life with 3 young children, busy schedules, and neither of us being neat freaks. She also makes a mean (sandwich).”
