Kylie Kelce has never been one to shy away from saying exactly what’s on her mind. The wife of recently retired NFL legend Jason Kelce and host of the hit podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce is known for her candid takes on motherhood, pop culture, and life in the Kelce household. But her latest revelation? It’s got people talking-laughing, mostly, but also wondering just how serious she is.
At 32 weeks pregnant with her fourth daughter, Kylie announced her plan to naturally induce labor when she hits 38 weeks by running sprints. “You can’t stop me,” she declared on her podcast, setting off a wave of reactions online. The idea is unconventional, sure, but anyone familiar with Kylie knows she’s nothing if not determined.
A plan that’s equal parts bold and hilarious
During the episode, Kylie made it clear that her sprinting plan isn’t just a random idea-she’s actually run it by her doctors. “I’ve said it multiple times to anyone that I’ve spoken to. I’m doing sprints next week,” she joked. But in the same breath, she acknowledged that she’s also exploring safer, more traditional methods of labor induction, from eating dates to acupuncture.
What she won’t be doing? Drinking castor oil, a controversial home remedy that some believe can trigger contractions. “Oh, how I wish,”Kylie quipped. “But my OBs have explicitly told me no castor oil. I was told it makes labor messy. Ain’t nobody got time for that.”
Can sprinting really kickstart labor?
The internet has been buzzing with reactions, ranging from amusement to genuine curiosity. Can running actually induce labor? While exercise is generally considered safe during pregnancy (with a doctor’s approval), experts say there’s no strong evidence that sprinting-or any specific movement-will send someone into labor on demand.
Dr. Christine Greves, an OB-GYN at Orlando Health, has previously explained to Healthline that while physical activity can encourage contractions in women whose bodies are already primed for labor, it’s not a guaranteed trigger. “The baby decides when they’re coming,” she noted.
Kylie, of course, seems fully aware of this. Her approach isn’t about science-it’s about determination, humor, and a little bit of controlled chaos, which seems to be her parenting style in general.
Keeping it real and making fans love her even more
This isn’t the first time Kylie has embraced pregnancy with a mix of practicality and comedic flair. Recently, she appeared in a viral Liquid Death ad, poking fun at the misconception that she was drinking something stronger than water. She’s also been refreshingly transparent about the ups and downs of motherhood, a quality that has endeared her to fans beyond just the sports world.
Social media has reacted accordingly, with comments ranging from “She’s an absolute icon” to “Kylie Kelce needs her own reality show.” Many moms have chimed in with their own labor induction stories, some backing her sprinting plan, others swearing by more traditional methods like spicy food or long walks.
Whether Kylie actually laces up her sneakers for a track session at 38 weeks remains to be seen, but one thing is clear-she’s taking this next stage of motherhood in stride.
