Married to Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce, she's stepping into her own arena—where motherhood meets empowerment, sports meets self-worth, and authenticity meets action. Her 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast and advocacy work signal a shift in how women in her position can lead. This isn't just celebrity—it's real influence, redefined. Transforming the NFL spotlight into a movement for body confidence and women's sports Kylie refuses to be reduced to a plus-one. 'If you're going to talk about me, you should talk about things that matter,' she insists—shaping public attention around substance over spectacle. She's joined forces with Dove's Body Confident Sport initiative, challenging the alarming reality that nearly half of girls quit sports by age 14.

Guests like Olympian Ilona Maher and broadcasters Erin Andrews bring layered stories of resilience, representation, and self-worth. For Kylie, married life with one of the NFL's most respected veterans hasn't meant living in his shadow—it's meant using the platform to amplify voices that matter. Kylie Kelce's journey isn't about standing next to Jason Kelce during career milestones—it's about building her own legacy alongside his.

Dove's Super Bowl ad calls out toxic body talk keeping girls off the field
The big game isn't just about touchdowns and Taylor Swift sightings. It's also about the ads that make us laugh, cry, and—sometimes—think. This year, Dove is using its Super Bowl spotlight to send a message: The way we talk about girls' bodies is pushing them out of sports. The 30-second spot, set to a cover of Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run by H.E.R., starts with a little girl running carefree. The text on screen reads: At three, these legs are unstoppable. At 14, she'll think they're unbearable. The stats back it up: By age 14, nearly half of girls quit sports due to low body confidence. And 48% of them say they were told they didn't have the 'right body type' to play. Related: What your daughter learns when she sees you confident in your body Dove's Keep Her Confident campaign is the latest in its 20-year push to challenge unrealistic beauty standards. Their Body Confident Sport program is working to shift the narrative, giving coaches tools to help girls stay in the game. 'As a global leader in self-esteem education, Dove is dedicated to helping girls feel confident in sports and beyond,' says Marcela Melero, Dove's Chief Growth Officer. 'But this focus on appearance over ability is shattering girls' confidence and preventing them from thriving in the sports they love.' Related: Just because my girls like to play rough it doesn't mean they are 'acting like boys' Dove isn't stopping at a TV spot. They teamed up with Sports Illustrated to create Sports ReIllustrated, a special edition magazine celebrating real young female athletes. They're also bringing in sports icons—Venus Williams, Billie Jean King, and Olympic gold medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall—to rally behind the cause. Dove's ad isn't just about sports. It's about how the pressure to look a certain way affects girls' confidence in everything. The message? Let's change the way we talk to young girls—on the field, in the locker room, and at home. Your Move: Watch what you say. Encouragement > critique. 'You are so strong' > 'You look so cute.' And if you need a pep talk, just ask yourself: Would you say that to Serena Williams?
