Kylie Kelce, with unwavering boldness, waved a crimson flag amidst the storm of controversy, steadfastly anchoring her stance. Confronted by a follower's scathing critique aimed at her recent podcast episode featuring former First Lady Michelle Obama, the resolute host of "Not Gonna Lie" slammed the door shut on detractors seeking to tarnish the reputation of her esteemed guest. On March 20th, when a user posted an emoji of disgust beneath an Instagram clip from the podcast, Kylie responded succinctly yet firmly, "Hi Dana, such negativity has no place here." She added with conviction, "If your words are devoid of positivity, please continue on your way."
While some listeners might have glossed over the "Not Gonna Lie" episode amidst their jumbled playlists, Kylie—mother to Wyatt, aged 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 2, with her husband Jason Kelce—was overjoyed at the prospect of engaging in conversation with Barack Obama's wife, whom she holds in the highest esteem as an inspiring figure. During the March 20th episode, Kylie admitted with genuine awe, "Mrs. Obama, I won't dress it up; this moment is beyond surreal for me." Her voice dripped with admiration as she continued, "I've always admired the grace with which you carry yourself. At 18, it was my first election, and I cast my vote for your husband. But witnessing you as a potent force by his side etched an unforgettable portrait of female empowerment that has lingered in my heart ever since."
Beyond the opportunity to express her gratitude to Michelle, Kylie—who announced in November that she was expecting her fourth daughter—engaged in a heartfelt conversation about motherhood with her. This prompted the author of "Becoming"—who shares daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, with the former president—to commend Kylie for her bravery. "You're doing it for a fourth time. I just had to call it quits," Michelle told Kylie. "I was like, 'I think I've been blessed with these two.' Barack suggested, 'We should have a third,' and I was like, 'No way, buddy.'" She went on, her voice tinged with humor, "I was thinking, 'We might end up with a wild one. It's just the luck of the draw.' So, I admire your courage. You don't know what you're gonna get."
