Kylie Kelce Details 10 Things She Misses Doing Since She Became a Mother
The podcaster and mom of four shares her children with NFL star Jason Kelce NEED TO KNOW Kylie Kelce may love being a mom to her four daughters, but there are a few things that she misses about life before motherhood During a recent episode of her podcast, the mom of four acknowledged that there are some things that she took for granted before she welcomed her little girls The podcast host is a mother to daughters Finnley, Bennett, Elliotte and Wyatt Kylie Kelce loves being a mother to her four daughters, but there are a few things she misses about her life before motherhood. On the Thursday, August 14, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mom of four, 33, candidly shared 10 things that she misses about life before she became a mother to her four daughters: Finnley 'Finn' Anne, 4 months, Bennett Llewellyn, 2, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Wyatt Elizabeth, 5. Kylie, who shares her daughters with husband Jason Kelce, acknowledged to listeners that there are so many things that she took for granted before motherhood. "You think to yourself, it's not going to be that different. I just have to take care of this tiny human," she said. "And then it's the little things. These teeny tiny little things that pop up and you're just like, well, damn." With four children under 5 years old, the podcaster definitely has her hands full. Kylie's list of things included everything from sitting down for extended periods of time and wearing both of her AirPods to watching the movies and television shows that she wants to watch and leaving the house with only her phone and keys. Despite wanting to do a few simple things, Kylie reiterated that she loves being a mom, noting that she understands it's "a privilege." "I love being a mom, and I've said this a number of times that I am unbelievably grateful to have my tiny humans. It is a privilege, and I recognize that," she said. Kylie is always candidly sharing tidbits from her motherhood experience. On the Thursday, July 31 episode of her podcast, she shared one of the hardest parts of parenthood: feeding your children. She said that since she became a mother, she has had to refrain from doing a low-effort "girl dinner." "I would say that feeding your children is one of the most underrated, difficult parts of parenting," she said. "It's difficult because before I had children, I could do 'girl dinner.' I could slice off a few slices of cheese. I could eat a handful of Tostitos chips. I could eat an apple with peanut butter, and that could constitute my dinner." "But that's not how the world works anymore, and now we have to eat three meals a day. And the decision-making is overwhelming. I will tell you that," she added. "Also, the need for being prepared. It's just — it's so much. It's so much. It takes up so much of my brain." 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. She was interviewed by Parents for their first-ever Next Gen Awards and shared how she and her former NFL player husband keep themselves grounded amid their fame. "We actually parent our kids. We keep a small circle of people that help us care for or interact with our kids," explained Kylie. "That provides us the opportunity to be in the thick of it and stay surrounded by family." It also helps that the family of four has a sense of humor. During a recent episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie shared with guest Mandy Moore, 41, that her daughter Elliotte calls the retired NFL star by a "ridiculous" nickname. "The girls, they will occasionally call Jason Jason or Jay. Ellie has also called Jason big guy," she said. "I want to be abundantly clear. That is not something I call my husband, but she, I believe, heard it on Bluey. I could be wrong, but she heard it somewhere." "She'll be like, 'Come on, big guy. Time to get up, big guy. Let's go in the other room, big guy,' " she continued. "And says it like it's completely normal, which is ridiculous." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq wobble after PPI inflation comes in much hotter than expected
US stocks wavered on Thursday as Wall Street digested a much hotter-than-expected PPI inflation print, souring optimism around a large September rate cut. The major gauges wobbled, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) down 0.3% and the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropping 0.2%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) hovered near the flatline. July's Producer Price Index (PPI) came in well above expectations, with month-over-month prices rising 0.9% compared to expectations of 0.2%. On an annual basis, prices rose 3.3%, the most since February. "Core" producer prices, which strip out the cost of food and energy, saw the largest increase in three years. Euphoria over a possible September rate cut had swept Wall Street over the past two sessions after July's Consumer Price Index report showed inflation rose as expected, but not dramatically. Traders had fully priced in a rate cut at the Fed's next meeting, even as some Fed policymakers continue to urge patience. By Thursday, the vast majority of bets were still on a cut, but nearly 10% of traders were pricing in a rate hold. Meanwhile, bets on a "jumbo" 50-basis-point cut evaporated. The inflation shock sapped some of the enthusiasm out of a roaring market this week. Stocks extended their rally on Wednesday, pushing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to consecutive record highs. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) got a boost from mounting rate-cut bets, too, reaching a new record high Wednesday evening before scaling back on those gains. Friday's retail sales reading will serve as this week's final key economic data point. In corporate news, cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish (BLSH) rose over 9% on Thursday, hovering around $75, more than double its IPO price of $37. No crisis after all? Why Americans might be more prepared for retirement than you think. Yahoo Finance's Robert Powell reports: Read more here. Bitcoin retreats from record after hot PPI print, no plans for US to add to reserve through purchases Bitcoin (BTC-USD) fell 3% on Thursday, retreating from its record high after hotter-than-expected inflation soured expectations of a large rate cut in September. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated the US wouldn't buy any more tokens for its reserve, but it wouldn't sell any either. On Wednesday, bitcoin touched an all-time high record, surpassing $123,000 per token. Crypto rolled over after July's producer price index came in much higher than expected. During an interview with Fox Business this morning, Bessent said US reserves of bitcoin amount to around $15 billion or $20 billion at today's prices. "We've also started to get into the 21st century — a bitcoin strategic reserve. We're not going to be buying that, but we are going to use confiscated assets and continue to build that up. We're going to stop selling that," he said. Expectations of Fed rate cuts, coupled with heavy purchases from corporate treasurys, have driven up the price of the asset this year. The cryptocurrency has gained 25% year to date and has rallied roughly 57% since the April lows.

Nvidia rises after denying Rubin chip delay Nvidia (NVDA) stock climbed nearly 1% Thursday morning after the company told Barron's and Seeking Alpha that its Rubin chip is "on track" after an analyst at Fubon Research indicated the GPU could be delayed. The company did not immediately respond to Yahoo Finance's request for comment. 'We think it is very likely that Rubin will be delayed," Fubon Research analyst Sherman Shang wrote in a research note seen by the outlets. "The first version of Rubin was already taped out in late June, but Nvidia is now redesigning the chip to better match AMD's upcoming MI450." "We think the next tape out schedule will be in late September or October, and based on the tape out schedule, the Rubin volume will be limited in 2026," Shang said. Nvidia said the report was incorrect in emailed statements to the outlets. Rubin is Nvidia's next-generation AI chip architecture, the successor to Blackwell, and it was unveiled during the company's annual GTC conference in 2025. stock continues freefall after 'brutal' preliminary financial results stock sank 3.5% Thursday, putting shares down more than 20% over the past five trading sessions. The AI software company's shares have suffered since releasing preliminary results for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2026, which ended July 31. The company estimated last Friday that it will see a quarterly loss of $57.7 million to $57.9 million on revenue in the range of $70.2 million to $70.4 million. C3 will report its full results on Sept. 3. Its preliminary results were "well below" consensus estimates on Wall Street and the company's previous guidance for a loss of $23.5 million to $33.5 million on revenue of $100 million to $109 million, JPMorgan analyst Brian Essex wrote in a note to clients Monday. C3 has been mired in controversy over the last several years. In 2022, investors sued the company and its founder and former CEO, Tom Siebel, for misrepresenting the size of a sales team related to its largest partnership with energy company Baker Hughes (BKR). In 2023, short-selling firm Spruce Point Management alleged the company showed "signs of problematic financial reporting and accounting." Then last month, Siebel stepped down from the role of CEO due to an autoimmune disease diagnosis. Since C3 released its preliminary results last Friday, four investment firms, including Oppenheimer and DA Davidson, have downgraded C3 stock to Market Perform and Sell ratings. Wedbush maintained its Outperform rating on the stock but lowered its price target to $23 from $35. "This was a brutal quarter and if C3 cannot turn this around darker days could be ahead," Dan Ives wrote in a note to clients Monday.

Stocks fall at the open after latest inflation data shows rising producer prices US stocks sank Thursday at the market open, after the latest Producer Price Index reading showed wholesale inflation climbing much more than expected — a negative sign for hopes of a Fed rate cut in September. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) sank more than 0.4%, while the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell over 0.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) lost 0.25%. Wholesale inflation rises more than expected in July The Producer Price Index — a measure of wholesale inflation that tracks changes in the selling prices of US producers of goods and services — rose 0.9% in July, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday, more than the 0.2% expected by analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That was the biggest jump since June 2022. That's after the PPI was unchanged in June and advanced a more modest 0.4% in May. Driving the increase in July was a rise in prices for final demand services, or services sold by businesses, which climbed 1.1% — the largest jump since March 2022. Producers also saw higher prices of raw materials businesses use to make other products, which rose 1.8%, led by a jump in prices for food and animal feed (in particular, the price of raw milk soared 9.1%). Still, that was smaller than the 2.6% rise in June. Read more here. September rate hold? Investors say it's (sort of) back on the table Thursday's hot PPI reading has shifted bets on the Fed's next move a bit.

Trending tickers in premarket trading: Bullish, Deere, Cisco Here's a look at the top stocks trending on Yahoo Finance this morning: Bullish (BLSH): The cryptocurrency exchange operator's stock rose 5% in premarket trading after it posted an 83% gain in its first day of trading. The stock saw gains as high as 215% on Wednesday after it opened for trade at $90. You can read more about the Bullish IPO here. (JD): Shares were up 0.2% after the Chinese e-commerce company reported that net income fell by more than 50% year over year amid new investments into the competitive food delivery space in China. Revenue of 356.66 billion yuan ($49.73 billion) beat estimates, however. Deere (DE): Shares of the farm equipment maker fell 5% as quarterly sales fell 9% from a year ago. Deere also narrowed its full-year profit forecast, and profits for the third quarter came in lighter than expected. Cisco (CSCO): The networking giant reported earnings that barely beat estimates and results that showed Cisco benefiting from a boom in AI demand. Still, the stock dropped 1.6% in premarket trading. Check out live coverage of corporate earnings here. Bitcoin, ethereum trade near record highs as Wall Street grows bullish on crypto Bitcoin (BTC-USD) saw modest gains to trade at $120,807 on Thursday morning, but the crypto was about 2% off its record high of $123,500 on Wednesday. As Yahoo Finance's Ines Ferré detailed, inflows into spot exchange-traded funds and public companies adding bitcoin to their balance sheets have been key drivers of this year's token rally. Strategists also point to the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance as a major catalyst. Meanwhile, ethereum (ETH-USD) prices traded near record levels, climbing 0.5% on Thursday morning to $4,722 per token, just shy of its 2021 record level of around $4,800. "We have stated multiple times we believe Ethereum is the biggest macro trade over the next 10-15 years," Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee wrote in a note on Wednesday. Stocks may be at all-time highs, but speculative froth isn't Yahoo Finance's Hamza Shaban reports: Read more here. Good morning. Here's what's happening today. Economic data: Initial jobless claims (week ending Aug. 9); Producer Price Index, (July); Earnings: (JD), Deere & Company (DE), Advanced Auto Parts (AAP), Birkenstock (BIRK), Applied Materials (AMAT), Nucor (NUE) Here are some of the biggest stories you may have missed overnight and early this morning: These stock market all-time highs aren't quite frothy 117-year high at busiest port in the US Earnings: Foxconn beats on AI demand, Deere profit falls Bullish stock tops $75 after strong IPO debut US oil producers say OPEC+ 'price war' will halt shale boom Rate cut next month doesn't seem warranted: Fed's Daly Trump's Treasury set to decide fate of of wind, solar projects Trump-fueled crypto frenzy sparks rush to Wall Street IPOs 'Tesla shame' bypasses Norway as sales jump despite Musk's politics Amazon grocery push stocks still in focus When Amazon (AMZN) goes big on something, usually the stock prices of its competitors get beaten up. The latest example came on Wednesday Amazon announced plans to expand its 1,000-city fresh and perishable same-day grocery delivery to 2,300 cities by year-end. This is a huge deal for the grocery industry. Albertson's (ACI) and Kroger (KR) — aka traditional grocers — saw their share prices fall. I think this is a big deal for the industry and for Amazon. The impact of Amazon's move won't be felt overnight, but just like the company's impact on department stores in recent years, the aftershocks will be felt over time. Evercore ISI analyst Michael Montani with some good thoughts this morning: I don't hate this Cisco quarter Cisco (CSCO) is always a tricky play around its earnings report. The company isn't a fast grower, and what the Street focuses on tends to shift from quarter to quarter. Sometimes it's profit margins, sometimes it's product orders, sometimes it's the outlook. Going through the latest, I don't hate the quarter and outlook. Gross margins were up across the board, and the AI narrative and numbers were solid as well. There was some weakness in the security business, as expected, but the demand drivers out there suggest new full-year guidance could be conservative. "We think investors should look past Public Sector weakness, which likely hurt Security growth, given the opportunity around Hyperscaler/Enterprise AI, Neoclouds, and Sovereign could quickly offset the weakness. We continue to like Cisco for these drivers of growth, and when paired with a mix shift toward software/subscription over time, healthy free cash flow growth, and shareholder returns, we believe a premium to historical valuations is warranted," KeyBanc analyst Brandon Nispel said. I am live on Opening Bid today around 9:40 a.m. ET with Cisco's new CFO Mark Patterson. So we'll get to pull apart the numbers and guidance further! Bullish stock rises to $75 after IPO debut Yahoo Finance's breaking news reporter Jake Conley looks into the Bullish (BLSH) stock market debut. Cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish (BLSH) rose 8% on Thursday before the bell, reaching $75, doubling its IPO price of $37 and valuing the company at more than $10 billion. Still, this marked around a 16% drop from where the stock opened for trade. Bullish stock opened for trade at $90 near 1:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and the stock traded hands as high as $118 per share shortly after, a more than 215% gain. The stock was halted for trade due to volatility at least twice within the first few minutes of trading. The company, which operates a crypto exchange and owns the prominent trade publication CoinDesk, priced its IPO at $37 per share on Tuesday, above the $32 to $33 range the company had expected in its second shot at making a public market debut. Bullish began its IPO processes looking for a price between $28 to $31 per share. At 30 million shares offered, the IPO price saw Bullish raise $1.1 billion and value the fintech company at $5.41 billion. Bullish first attempted to go public via a SPAC merger in 2021 that would have valued the company at $9 billion, but the deal fell through after regulatory scrutiny and Bullish withdrew its registration.

Bitcoin, ethereum trade near record highs as Wall Street grows bullish on crypto Bitcoin (BTC-USD) saw modest gains to trade at $120,807 on Thursday morning, but the crypto was about 2% off its record high of $123,500 on Wednesday. As Yahoo Finance's Ines Ferré detailed, inflows into spot exchange-traded funds and public companies adding bitcoin to their balance sheets have been key drivers of this year's token rally. Strategists also point to the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance as a major catalyst. Meanwhile, ethereum (ETH-USD) prices traded near record levels, climbing 0.5% on Thursday morning to $4,722 per token, just shy of its 2021 record level of around $4,800. "We have stated multiple times we believe Ethereum is the biggest macro trade over the next 10-15 years," Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee wrote in a note on Wednesday.

The latest example came on Wednesday Amazon announced plans to expand its 1,000-city fresh and perishable same-day grocery delivery to 2,300 cities by year-end. This is a huge deal for the grocery industry. Albertson's (ACI) and Kroger (KR) — aka traditional grocers — saw their share prices fall. I think this is a big deal for the industry and for Amazon. The impact of Amazon's move won't be felt overnight, but just like the company's impact on department stores in recent years, the aftershocks will be felt over time.

Evercore ISI analyst Michael Montani with some good thoughts this morning: I don't hate this Cisco quarter Cisco (CSCO) is always a tricky play around its earnings report. The company isn't a fast grower, and what the Street focuses on tends to shift from quarter to quarter. Sometimes it's profit margins, sometimes it's product orders, sometimes it's the outlook. Going through the latest, I don't hate the quarter and outlook. Gross margins were up across the board, and the AI narrative and numbers were solid as well. There was some weakness in the security business, as expected, but the demand drivers out there suggest new full-year guidance could be conservative. "We think investors should look past Public Sector weakness, which likely hurt Security growth, given the opportunity around Hyperscaler/Enterprise AI, Neoclouds, and Sovereign could quickly offset the weakness. We continue to like Cisco for these drivers of growth, and when paired with a mix shift toward software/subscription over time, healthy free cash flow growth, and shareholder returns, we believe a premium to historical valuations is warranted," KeyBanc analyst Brandon Nispel said. I am live on Opening Bid today around 9:40 a.m. ET with Cisco's new CFO Mark Patterson. So we'll get to pull apart the numbers and guidance further!

Bullish stock rises to $75 after IPO debut Yahoo Finance's breaking news reporter Jake Conley looks into the Bullish (BLSH) stock market debut. Cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish (BLSH) rose 8% on Thursday before the bell, reaching $75, doubling its IPO price of $37 and valuing the company at more than $10 billion. Still, this marked around a 16% drop from where the stock opened for trade. Bullish stock opened for trade at $90 near 1:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and the stock traded hands as high as $118 per share shortly after, a more than 215% gain. The stock was halted for trade due to volatility at least twice within the first few minutes of trading. The company, which operates a crypto exchange and owns the prominent trade publication CoinDesk, priced its IPO at $37 per share on Tuesday, above the $32 to $33 range the company had expected in its second shot at making a public market debut. Bullish began its IPO processes looking for a price between $28 to $31 per share. At 30 million shares offered, the IPO price saw Bullish raise $1.1 billion and value the fintech company at $5.41 billion. Bullish first attempted to go public via a SPAC merger in 2021 that would have valued the company at $9 billion, but the deal fell through after regulatory scrutiny and Bullish withdrew its registration.
