Absolutely. I want to throw a party just for me and like my journey.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Yeah. I didn't know anything about the whole movement of getting your pink back until I think it was three months postpartum and my husband comes home, he has a package in his hand and it's a sweatshirt and on the sweatshirt it's like, Oh, I'm getting my pink back. And I was like, what? It's like, what's this about? And he was like, oh, it's like a flamingo loses its ping.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And he was like, I feel like I see you down sometimes. And I think that you should like really dive into like the journey of like finding yourself outside of motherhood and all these things. So Isaac actually like helped inspire me to maybe like find my own identity outside of just being a mom. And I think it's just been a fun movement to attach myself to.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
at least for like this current time because what better way like it's a great excuse to like go out and like be independent outside of your marriage outside of being a mom and find what you love doing like i just i think that like for a year you're pregnant and then for the year your postpartum and finding yourself outside of that is so healthy not only for you but also for your family yeah
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I mean, one of them, yeah. One of them is I'm training for a marathon. I don't like running. I don't know that I want, I think it's just that I would not, I power to you. It would not be me. I need a reason to run. I'm just like mid run. Like, do I actually want to do that? And like, Well, I'm getting my pink back. So it's just part of the journey.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I think that there's a fine line between sharing and oversharing. And for us, we share so many parts of our life. I mean, the NFL, how I felt about my husband getting a job and losing a job and then everything in between. So when it comes to me and my experience, there's nothing really off limits.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I am kind of an open book and I think a lot of women, I'm able to help women in that way and other people like struggling through things. When it came to my daughter, we kind of went back and forth. And then I think we settled on the idea of like, well, let's just not share her for a while and see how we feel about it. Initially, postpartum, I was like, this is the cutest baby ever.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Like the fact that I can't show people the cutest baby ever, like I'm struggling. But I think it was really healthy and it was a good experience. like very good for us that it was the separation of, okay, we're taking this video for us, for ourselves, for her to see later down the line. And it never felt like, oh, we're pulling out the camera and it felt icky in a way.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
It always felt very like, oh, I'm just a mom recording my child. And not to say that people who share their child online are doing it only for that. But I do. I like that we kept her. We've kept her private. I did for her first birthday post a video of some of the memories with her face in it. And I was a little anxious to do that. But I think that. I feel very comfortable.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Me and my husband feel very comfortable not showing her day to day, not showing her every move, like not using her for videos. And the fact that people have seen her face now, I feel very comfortable with. And I... I think it got to a point where it was then like a game, like covering her with an emoji or covering her in this way. And I was like, okay, I want to keep her private, but not a secret.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And I think now I've gotten to the point where I'm like, okay, if people see your face, it's okay. But like, I'm not going to go and make a video of like Scotty's day in the life or what have you not, just because it's something I'm not comfortable with. Right. And I feel very confident when it's to keep her private.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
How have people reacted to seeing Scotty in person? Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the tall thing because the tall thing matters. It does. Because people note it. I mean, Isaac's a big, big dude. And then I'm also tall blonde. So when we are in public, I feel like we are very noticeable, especially for like the height. You can see us from a mile away.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And with our daughter, I feel like we've had mixed experiences before.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Totally.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Yeah, and it was the Los Angeles Chargers. But I have to think, was it because we were there for four years? Was it because we stayed here year round? I think all those factors definitely come into play because every place I've had a really good experience with other women. Yeah. Definitely some teams who emphasize family more than others, but I think that just kind of comes to the territory.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
The Chargers had a lot to do with the family outside of just the guys. I think maybe being owned by the Spanos family helped with that. There were a lot of activities for the women. There was weekly hangouts. We also lived near the beach. So like yoga on the beach, maybe that helped with that.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
We also were drafted with a group of men who had girlfriends and they also got engaged and then got married along the same timeframe. So I think that had to help with that. And everybody, my husband got drafted with, stayed for the full four years, which is very rare.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Right. And so whenever people ask me, oh, are there clicks when it comes to like an NFL team with the wives and women? I'm like, no, it's really just like, don't have kids, have kids. Have time, don't have time. Exactly. It's like, hey, can we get a play date? Because I need a glass of wine and I need somebody else to drink it with. Another human being to speak, another adult to speak to.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
You would find the phone number in like a wad at the end of football season in like a shoe or something.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And that's God's work. I have to say, on behalf of all the girls who have traveled around to different teams, people like you make the experience so much better and so much less lonely. And I know that like I've been reached out to via DM and I get like random chats like, hey, I got your number from so-and-so. Like, hey, if you need anything.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And those are the girls that I was gravitated towards because I'm like, oh, you're okay reaching out to a stranger and offering X, Y, and Z. Like, this is great. This is helpful. And I feel like even having one point of contact that you can be like, hey, is there like a good bagel place around here?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Absolutely. I think so many people kind of forget that is that these players are going through all these things and ups and downs and what have you not. But also the wives and others and family members are also going through that. So I think even when I talked about it on social media of like, oh, yeah, there's a family room, there's this, there's that.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And people like, oh, my God, you should just stick to football. I'm like, no. Hold on. I'm not even talking about him. I'm talking about me and what I need. And I'm like, moving to a new city is never easy. And so having a group of women or even having something as simple as like, oh, hey, I'm going to go down to the family room for five seconds and just take a break.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I think that's the biggest game changer. And it's surprising that some teams I've... like filled my husband has filled out a questionnaire at the very beginning of the season. And like, they're like, Oh, do you have a significant other? And then they'll get the numbers. And it's crazy that it it's, they haven't figured it out yet. Crickets.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
But it is crazy because I feel like every single team has like a team mom in a way. Not very much. You don't even have to be a mom, but it's usually a guy who's on a contract for a few years. I would say usually O-linemen, maybe sometimes quarterback, but usually O-linemen. And it's one of the wives that's just like, hey, I've been here for a minute.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And you just have to take it's like literally a team mom. Yes.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
So I feel like a baby for sure. Yeah. I'm permanently 24 in my head. It's the age that I'm stuck at. I will always be 24. You can't talk me out of it. I'm right there with you. I'm sure it's surprising when people are like, wait, you're the oldest on the team. And you're like, oh. That's what it was.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I just graduated from college. You're like, oh. Okay.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
When I first started on social media, I worked full time as an interior designer in Los Angeles. I would commute every single day to LA while my husband played for the chargers. I loved it. Uh, but then when he was a free agent, I understood that I might have to move somewhere and I'm not trying to commute back to LA for work. And I loved being creative in every other way.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
So I took all my savings. It propelled me to make an investment. And I bought an investment property in Scottsdale, Arizona. And I have this interior design background. And I was like, wait. If I own Airbnbs or short-term investment, or if I do a fixer-upper, I can still make my own income, have my own identity outside of football. And also, it'll help me and Isaac later in the long run.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
So when Isaac retires, he doesn't have to get a normal job. We can figure out something together. And I loved it because I got to be creative. I got to do something that I love and also got to make money outside of my husband. And so then I started my social media while I was designing my Airbnb. And of course, all these people are saying, oh, you're a gold digger with the money. I'm like...
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Probably would have... He got drafted in the seventh round. Like if it was for money, I probably would have went somewhere different. But I started talking about like, oh yeah, I'm a gold digger and following him and all of that. And it was crazy. I loved being like the satirical comedic person. Like I loved it because I was like, I don't have anything to hide. I have...
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
two investment properties now and i'm making more money than my husband but sure okay we can talk about that um and i got to be creative and i found like my love of social media which i've been posting on social media for a long time but it wasn't until the tiktok era that it started going somewhere and i got to start working with cool companies like the nfl i do love the idea of
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Get them.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
You have to understand like a certain level to really be interested in that. And I think that's where I was like, wait, I feel like a lot more women and even people who aren't interested in football would find it more interesting if they knew a little bit more about it. And because I think that's even been like the first few games I went to have Isaac. So I was like, I don't really give a shit.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And then once I started really to learn about the like ins and outs of football and like how fun it can actually be, I was like, wait, I love football. I don't need my husband. Like, who cares?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Jason's coming home and he's like, I don't have to watch film.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
offensive linemen like wives are it's crazy because y'all like actually know so much whereas then I feel like defense I'm just like I'll watch Isaac like whatever but it is so interesting it's like tackle him like that's literally all I know about him yeah and then when like the whole offensive line crumbles I'm like I don't know what just happened and there's always like an offensive lineman girl being like oh it's him and then yeah
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
You're going to leave here feeling hopefully lifted. I love that. Yeah. You should send that to my husband so he can wake up every day and just like- And announce your presence. Absolutely. To the whole household. We can make that happen.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
I heard that you were maybe planning on naming one of your daughters Scottie.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Thank you. I personally love it. But, you know, you get mixed reviews from other people. I think maybe like the older generation, when I say Scotty, they either think it's a boy or they're like, huh? Is it a family name?
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
Is that where we find all of our baby names? Yeah, it was under like grandpa inspired baby names. I'm like, oh, Scotty, that's cute. But yeah, I've gotten the, is it a family name? I've gotten, is it short for something? I've gotten all the questions and I'm like, nope, just Scotty. It's just an adorable name. Well, thank you. And it suits her? It suits her so well.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
We thought of a few other names and- I've tried calling her the other names and she just... Well, she doesn't respond to them, honestly. But it also just doesn't fit her personality. She's like sassy and spunky. So it fits really well.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
one year birthday how was it um it i feel like it was really sad i mean especially for your first because the year goes by so quickly and she's starting to get older and i'm like wait that's it's so sad but also it's so much fun celebrating her at a year mark because i feel like that's a huge like a year of being alive and then also a year of everything i've gone through and
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
It's just crazy that it went by so quick. And so it was fun to celebrate her. We ended up going to Disney. I don't know that she even knows everything that's going on. She's like, wait, why are we inside like this? Taking her on rides was trippy. She was just like, wait, hold on. I'm not allowed screen time, but I'm able to see all of this.
Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Worst Kid Gifts, NFL “Team Moms” & Raising Kids in Spotlight with Allison Kuch | Ep. 2
And I was like, Isaac, hold the baby. I'm going on this ride that... She can't go on. So I was like, let me just do the solo rider. So absolutely. It was, it was solely for me. Like I was the one eating the Mickey ice cream. I was the one like buying the sweatshirts.
