NEED TO KNOW
On a new episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, Kylie Kelce expressed a particular dislike for one very common nickname
The mom of four said she didn't grow up hearing the nickname said at home, because her parents preferred to call each other by an animal-inspired name
Kylie continued to discussed how she and husband Jason Kelce have heard their daughters pick up on their fond names for each otherThey might be called pet names, but Kylie Kelce doesn't want to be affectionately called a moniker that's most closely associated with a famous pig.
As always, the mom of four kept it real on the most recent episode of her hit podcast, Not Gonna Lie, and shared some of her strongest opinions on nicknames. Kylie set the record straight and said, "The idea of me saying 'Babe' or being called 'Babe' makes me itch." With a nod to the 1995 barnyard comedy Babe, she added, "I'm not a talking pig."
She continued to note that she didn't grow up hearing that specific nickname either, but her parents did pull inspiration from the animal kingdom and called each other "Birdy."
The podcast host addressed the fact that kids sometime pick up their parents' pet names for each other, and her four little ones — daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months — are no exception.
In mimicking Kylie, however, the girls tend to just use a more straightforward "Dad" replacement for their father, retired NFL star Jason Kelce.
"They will occasionally call Jason 'Jason' or 'Jay,'" she explained during the Thursday, July 17 episode. "Ellie has also called Jason 'big guy' ... I want to be abundantly clear: That is not something I call my husband, but she, I believe, heard it on Bluey."

Beyond fond monikers, Kylie says she's seen her daughters pick up her compliments toward Jason, as well.
"Our girls will tell Jason all the time, 'Oh, you look so handsome.' And I'm like, 'I'm glad I say that enough in front of you that it's coming out like that,' " she shared.
She addressed parenthood again a few minutes later in the episode, when she dismissed the concept of a "bounce back" phrase after pregnancy as "f----- up."
'Here's the problem: Every single person I've seen grow a human being and pop them out have rebounded in their own time," she stated, clarifying that she doesn't want to hear people making such remarks about her, no matter their intentions.

'For all the people who are in the comments saying things like, 'You look fantastic after having Finn,' or, 'You look amazing after having your fourth,' first of all, I know that you mean that nicely, but at the end of the day, if I looked like this and I hadn't just had my fourth child, would you say I look tired? Because, yes, I'm very tired,' Kylie said.
She concluded, 'My point is that we don't need to comment on the fact that a woman is postpartum and how she is doing with her postpartum journey physically.'
