Mom of 4 Kylie Kelce slams those who compare maternity leave to a vacation

May 29, 2025

Kylie Kelce is back from her 8-week maternity leave.

The now mom of four shared the newest episode of her podcast, “Not Gonna Lie,” on May 29, marking her return from maternity leave, after welcoming her fourth daughter into the world in March.

In addition to two-month-old Finnley Anne Kelce, she and her husband, former NFL star Jason Kelce, are also parents to 2-year-old Benny, 4-year-old Elliotte and 5-year-old Wyatt.

During the “Can I Be Honest” section of her podcast, Kelce slammed the notion that maternity leave is a vacation for moms, calling it “a crazy concept.”

“Maternity leave is not a break or a vacation that is a crazy concept,” Kelce said. “Do you think I was just kicking up my feet and chilling without a care in the world? You'd be wrong.” 

“I birthed a child who prefers contact naps,” Kelce wrote with a sarcastic smile. “I got another Wyatt sleeper. I have been attached to the tiny human for the last eight weeks.” 

While holding up her arm, Kelce said “specifically, my right arm is permanently, just permanently in this position, claw included. I am going to have the sickest bicep on this side.”

For Kelce, maternity leave “is figuring out how to do things one handed again. That is a skill that you have to master.” She also admitted getting a good nights sleep still isn’t in the cards for her. 

“I have not slept for longer than, I think, the longest stretch that she has given me five hours. That's it. That was only two nights. Every other night is usually three hours on the dot, some night she gives me a four. So that's fun.” 

And as for advice on how to do it all now that she is a mom of four, Kelce says she “actually still has no idea what I am doing. We’re all just winging it.”

“In case you are wondering, I am still googling things because that doesn't stop, either,” Kelce admitted before cautioning fellow parents from “scrolling back.”

Despite googling to ease her worries, Kelce says that one thing she thinks parents shouldn’t do is compare their children. Don’t scroll back to see what your other kids were doing at specific ages, Kelce says. All kids meet milestone differently.

But she is “really doing my best to soak in all of the baby, like her cute little coos and noises.”
