Kylie Kelce Jokes She Has to Carry Around Two ChapSticks Because Daughter Benny Uses One as Her 'Wake Up'
Kylie Kelce is revealing the real reason she keeps two ChapSticks on her at all times — and it's because of her daughter Bennett The podcaster says her daughter uses it for her makeup – or rather, her "wake-up" Kylie shares her four kids with husband Jason KelceKylie Kelce is happy to make sacrifices for her kids — but she draws the line at sharing ChapStick. At the beginning of this week's episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the podcaster, 33, shared that she has to carry around two tubes of ChapSticks in her purse at all times because her daughter Bennett "Benny" uses it for her makeup — or rather, her "wake up." "Not gonna lie. I have two ChapSticks in my purse at any given time. One is mine, and the other one is Benny's 'wake up,'" Kelce says. "That's right. Her 'wake up.'" "And as soon as I use my ChapStick, I will immediately be prompted, 'I hab some?' It's an attempt to not have to share my ChapStick with those grimy, dirty little lips. Ew," she continues. "We've all seen the food crusted on your face, Benny. I don't wanna share my ChapStick with you." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Kylie shares her daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley "Finn," whom she welcomed in March, with husband Jason Kelce. Elsewhere in the podcast, Kylie spoke with guest Bindi Irwin and shared that Jason's brother Travis Kelce is 'definitely king of the funcles." 'They just know that when he comes, he's gonna lock in,' Kylie told Bindi of her kids. 'He's gonna give them his undivided attention. They're gonna be like, can you get on the floor? And he's gonna be, like, already down there.' She added that she takes advantage of Travis' visits, using them to get in some basic self care. 'It is really nice to have someone who is fresh and fun,' she said. 'You got this. I'm gonna have a warm cup of coffee for five minutes and maybe have a shower because that would be nice.' Earlier this week, during an episode of his podcast New Heights with Travis, Jason spoke about how he'd just opened up the pool in his backyard for the summer. As Jason is speaking with Travis, one of his daughters interrupted him to ask if he's going in the pool that day. "Am I going in the pool today? Yes. I turned the heater on. The pool will not be cold," Jason said to his little one, turning to Travis and the microphone to say, "F------ bougie." "Well, that's what happens if you raise those suburban kids, Jason," Travis teased. "You're right. You're right. I told Kylie [Kelce] we should have raised them in West Philly, and she was like, 'There's no chance,' " Jason said. "Oh yeah. That's how you get cultured right there," Travis quipped.
