Kylie Kelce says she’s “hyper-aware” of her body when she’s around her three girls.
The mom of three appeared on Good Morning America on Monday, sharing that she has been partnering with Dove for the company’s self-esteem campaign for young athletes.
“I am now hyper-aware of how I talk about myself and my body,” she explained. “Not only in front of my daughters but in front of my players.”
“I think it’s important to model that positive body talk about yourself because then they are taking that away from what you’re doing,” she continued, adding that body positivity begins with centering yourself.
As her kids grow older, Kylie said she hopes that mentality is one her daughters adopt.
“We’re making it a point now to emphasize a positive tone when we talk about anything body-wise,” she shared. “Like our one daughter will sort of rub her belly and I’m like, ‘Oh, that is the most beautiful belly I’ve ever seen.'”
Kylie shares her three daughters — Bennett, 11 months, Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 4 — with husband and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 36.
Speaking with PEOPLE about the magic of the holiday season as the family celebrated their 2023 holiday card with Minted in November, the mom of three said the best part is the magic of “getting all of us together in one spot.”
“Throughout football season, we have a lot of situations where, if there’s a big game or something like that, everyone will be in for the weekend, and that’s awesome. Every so often we luck out and get my mother-in-law and father-in-law in at the same time. Sometimes we get Jason’s aunt and uncle,” she said.
Ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl — in which the Kelce brothers faced off against one another — Kylie told PEOPLE about how her brother-in-law Travis Kelce is the “absolute best” uncle to her girls.
“It’s very funny, Jason said in an interview that he thinks [the girls] might like him more than they like Jason,” Kylie joked.
“I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that,’ ” she added.
“Our oldest, she’s our boss. She’s our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?'”
“He was like ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’ And so he will do it,” she shared.
“She’ll be like, ‘Jump up and down.’ He’ll do it. ‘Roll on the floor,’ he’ll do it. ‘Be the pony.’ He’ll do it. So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.”
