Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce
Kylie on Baby Finn’s Birth Story, Kelce Sisters First Meeting & Newborn Bliss Reality Check | Ep. 17
Thu, 03 Apr 2025
We’re not sure how... but Kylie is SOMEHOW BACK for a brand new episode of Not Gonna Lie presented by Nanit just days after giving birth to her and Jason’s fourth baby girl, Finnley Anne Kelce. Kylie starts things off by explaining why it was so important to her to record a Postpartum Special immediately after having her baby and introduces Baby Finn to the Real Ones for the first time on the podcast (0:10). She also concludes the baby name search saga and explains how they ultimately decided on Finn’s first and middle names (3:41). Then, in a postpartum edition of “Can I Be Honest?” Kylie details her birth story, sharing everything from her labor experience, to that “fat needle in her back” to Jason’s all-pro level skills as a support person and cord cutter (9:04). After that, even on very minimal sleep, Kylie brings some fire to a fan favorite segment, except this time it’s the sequel: The Dos & Don’ts of Talking to Postpartum Women (18:20). Kylie highlights the things she least appreciates hearing like “sleep while the baby is sleeping” and also shares some advice on what can be helpful to new moms. Also, in honor of her fourth baby girl, Kylie answers 4ish questions about the first couple days of being a family of six, including how the first meeting went for all four Kelce sisters (24:27) and who Finn looks like the most (28:41). Then, Kylie brings back one of her personal favorite segments “You Know What’s F*cked Up?” to touch on the subject of “newborn bliss" (30:44). Kylie opens up about her past experiences with postpartum anxiety with the help of a special guest – acclaimed author, therapist and advocate for maternal mental health – Rebecca Fox Starr (38:54). Kylie asks Rebecca about the signs women and their families can look out for when it comes to postpartum depression (40:29), what needs to be fixed with the current screening system used by most hospitals (44:30), who to contact for help and the common misconceptions about “baby blues” (50:54). Make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for more exclusive clips! We’ll be back next Thursday with a brand new episode. . . .

Chapter 1: Why is Kylie recording a postpartum special?
Not going to lie.
I just had my baby two days ago, literally two good days ago. And she's here for her first episode of not going to lie. Look at that.
That was good. Let's get this show started. Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a Wave original brought to you by Nanit. And welcome to my postpartum special. If you're thinking to yourself, how is Kylie podcasting right now? Didn't she just have a baby like yesterday? Say less. I did. It's right there. Yep. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey. No longer pregnant.
Slept a grand total of maybe four hours last night, and I just gave birth to my fourth daughter. Literally two days ago. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's right. I'm officially a mom of four. It feels really weird to even consider that if we went to a restaurant, we would say, Kelsey, party of six. We have four kids and four car seats. What the fuck are we doing?
I got back from the hospital a little over 24 hours ago. I don't... We're lucky I can form a sentence right now, okay? I wanted to do a postpartum special because I felt like it was important to put a little bow on the end of my pregnancy. And also... I wanted people to see. Now, there's going to be a population of people that are like, I just had a human being exit my body. Okay.
Am I sitting on an ice pack? Yes. Have I gotten much sleep? No. I'm going to spare you the other details because my next step was going to be, Yes. We can just bleep that out. I told Queen Emma that I wanted to do this all the way back in January. And she was like, nah, we could just start maternity leave. And I was like, nah, Queen Emma, we got to show the people.
We got to show them what postpartum looks like. It's going great. I just thought it would be funny to record an episode with my baby. Isn't this funny? Do you realize it's crazy that you're taping this show right now? Yes, I do. Although it seems that I'm just unhinged, I'm actually self-aware and unhinged. It's a great combination. Coming up, this is so bad.
Coming up on today's postpartum special, I'm going to kick things off by getting real honest about my birth story because I'm sure you want to know. I'm also going to bring back one of my personal favorite segments. You know what's fucked up? Featuring the phenomenon known as newborn bliss. No.
Plus, you're also going to get the do's and don'ts of speaking to postpartum women, because some of y'all need to take notes. And after that, I'll end the show with a special segment on maternal mental health with the help of acclaimed author and therapist, Rebecca Foxtar. But first, there's a very important topic I need to address. It's been the number one question on this show, 17 episodes in.

Chapter 2: How did Kylie and Jason choose Baby Finn's name?
It's overwhelming. Well, I'm delighted to say this saga has officially concluded. And I warned you, so all the people who are going to be triggered by the fact that this name does not have two T's, I warned you. I gave you fair warning. I said, you know what? There's a decent chance that this baby doesn't even have two T's. I said it. Roll the clip. If we don't have two T's, it's okay.
And she's still one of us. It was the journey. For the first 24 hours of her life, she did not have a name, I would say. We had an idea. We had discussed names with... anyone that we could trust to not share names. And we didn't go with a single option that we had been discussing. So there's that. Her name is Finley Ann Kelsey. We plan to call her Finn for short.
We picked her name when the time came to fill out the paperwork so we could get discharged. She was baby girl Kelsey there for a minute. And I considered just letting that one roll. It was going to be a very like Phoebe from Friends moment of like, oh, you named her baby girl. You know? We didn't. She was born at 127 in the morning. We filled out her paperwork. Yeah.
I think at 9 o'clock the morning we got discharged. It's... I swear to God, the only thing I had was their middle name. And it's the most generic middle name you could possibly have. I love that I'm just roasting myself. There's nothing we can do. The paperwork is filled out. They're on their way to the government. I don't know what... Fuck.
Some of the other contenders that did not make the cut, we briefly considered the name Colette and call her Cole. We considered Georgie, but I didn't like anything that got us to Georgie. No offense to anyone whose name gets you to Georgie. One of the other names we considered was Winifred. That is not the name of our dead dog. Her name was Winnie.
And we had plans to call the baby Freddie because I think a little girl named Freddie has to be like so badass and so cute. Like I've said before, I totally respect your opinion on the names of our children. You're allowed to have your own opinion. But I actually don't care what it is. And I mean that in the most loving and respectful way. We named them. And it's official.
Also, she's very much a Finn. Like she's a cute little Finn. Um, the name Finn was not one of the names that we were discussing with other people, but came back around because it was a serious contender for Elliot's name. So when we had, we, when we were pregnant with Ellie, I, we were bouncing back and forth between Finley and Elliot. Um,
So considering we had to name four children with the same gender, We had to run it back to the archives and borrow one from a different child. Her middle name is Anne, A-N-N-E. It covers a lot of people in my life. My mom's middle name is Anne, although it's spelled differently, but we already have an Elizabeth, so she's cool. Lisa's covered.
The people in our life that are associated with the name Anne with an E would be my dad's mom, That was her first name. My sister's middle name is after my mom. My cousin's middle name is after my mom. And Annie Elliott is actually Anne. We named her Finley and Kelsey. Now you know how Finn got her name. So let's get to the story of her birth. Oh, no. This is Can I Be Honest? About my birth story.

Don't be sad. Don't be sad. Mom's right here. Okay. No, I said don't. Oh, wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. You want it? Your eyes look very blue against this sweatshirt. She said, give me that microphone. God, you're cute.
I'm biased because I made you, but... And we're back, as is this next segment that's back by popular demand. But this time you're getting the sequel.
not gonna lie presents the do's and don'ts of talking to postpartum women brought to you by love every love every designed by experts for your child's developing brain please enjoy this guide on what you should and should not say to the women in your life who have just welcomed a new baby first up please don't say anything about her weight or her looks in general chances are she's probably not sleeping very much
And quite frankly, her body just built another human. Your input is fucking irrelevant. Any of the input of you haven't had the baby yet, or when can you exercise again? Breastfeeding makes the weight come off quicker. I hope she slaps you clean across the face. Also like the whole look great. Let's instead tell her she's doing great. because who gives a shit what we look like right now?
Not I. Do ask if you can do anything to help. Some examples include bring over some food, offer to babysit the older children, help with anything around the home, I mean anything. Start the dishwasher. Start a load of laundry. Clean out the fridge. Maybe bring over some groceries.
Do not bring over treats and sweets for the older children so that they then bounce off the walls and want to jump across the couch while the mom is holding the newborn. You see what I'm saying? Let's work smarter, not harder here, okay?
you should offer or ask if you can hold babies so mom can shower, go for a walk, get some coffee, drink a hot drink without the risk of spilling on a child, all of those things. Don't ask when she's going to have another baby. Are you shitting me? If she's still wearing a diaper or an ice pad, What are you doing? She's not even cleared for hanky-panky. Leave that woman alone.
Don't, and I cannot stress this enough, do not tell her to sleep while the baby's sleeping. That is fucking absurd. Do you know what you're supposed to do when the baby's sleeping? Watch them sleep, of course. I'm kidding. But really, don't tell, that is one of the most asinine pieces of advice that people give to new moms. It's not realistic.

Chapter 4: What are the dos and don'ts of talking to postpartum women?
And I think that when they disrupt your functioning, so you're not able to go along and still walk up the stairs, that's when you really have to ask for help, whether it's from a friend, your practitioner, some other professional, a partner, someone in your life. You don't have to even know how to ask for help. You can just say something isn't right.
Rebecca, I cannot thank you enough for coming on and talking to me today. Is there anything else that you feel really strongly that you want to make sure is said that we didn't touch on today? Because I do want to make sure that if there's anything that we missed that it hits the ears of our listeners.
Someone said to me when I was suffering, this too shall pass. And so I want to say that to anyone who may be suffering today. I know it may sound like, oh yeah, it's easy to say. I've been there. I've lived it. And I will tell you that moments of suffering can feel profound, but they are temporary. They don't have to define the rest of your life. This will pass.
And it can be very, very scary to ask for help, but you deserve to feel better. You deserve to ask for help and you can get help. We have great ways to treat postpartum depression and other mood disorders now, and we can help. Thank you so much.
I've so enjoyed talking to you. I am such a fan of your work and appreciate the fact that you have taken your own experience, understood the gravity of what you went through, and then decided to impact just a population of women who not only need help, but deserve it. So thank you so much. Back at you. Thank you so much again to my guest, Rebecca Fox Star for joining me.
And that's a wrap on my postpartum special. I'm officially going on maternity leave for a little bit. So we recorded a few incredible episodes just before I had the baby. I can't wait for you guys to see who I had, of course, no business talking to. And make sure you tune in next Thursday to a brand new episode. You won't want to miss it.
