Kylie Kelce is opening up about the lasting fear she experienced after suffering a miscarriage — and what it was like to eventually try for another baby.
During the Thursday, August 13, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie, 34, responded to a listener who asked for advice about trying to conceive again after pregnancy loss.
“I was terrified,” Kylie admitted.
She explained that even after becoming pregnant again, she constantly worried about whether the pregnancy would continue.
“Every single week, I was looking up, ‘What are the chances that this pregnancy sticks?’” she recalled.
As she moved further into the pregnancy, her thinking began to shift. By the later part of her second trimester, Kylie said she found herself focusing instead on the likelihood that the baby would survive.
Kylie married former NFL star Jason Kelce in April 2018. The couple experienced a pregnancy loss before going on to welcome four daughters: Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finnley.
Despite having successful pregnancies afterward, Kylie said the emotional impact of miscarriage did not simply disappear.
“Was it healthy? No, [but] was it helpful? Kind of,” she said of repeatedly looking up pregnancy statistics. “I think that sits with you forever.”
Kylie acknowledged that she continued experiencing similar fears throughout her later pregnancies and emphasized that grief can return unexpectedly.
“You experienced a loss and it’s OK to have that grief sit with you,” she said. “That is going to be something that might pop up when you least expect it.”
Certain dates can still bring those emotions back for her.
Kylie said there are moments when she finds herself thinking about where the baby she lost might have been at a particular point in her family’s life.
At the same time, she reflected on why she ultimately decided to face the fear of becoming pregnant again.
“If I had not tried again, I would not have Wyatt,” she said. “I think that sometimes you have to do the hard thing and try again.”
Kylie also offered words of encouragement to the listener, Sarah, who described feeling afraid to conceive again after experiencing a miscarriage herself.
“I wish you all the luck in the world,” Kylie told her. “I’m sending you baby magic and baby dust.”
She added that while the experience can feel isolating, others have gone through similar grief.
“I am so sorry that you had to experience that, but you are not alone,” she said. “I firmly believe that you can get through it.”
Kylie has spoken publicly about her pregnancy loss before.
On a 2025 episode of her podcast, she recalled attending an appointment where medical staff were unable to detect a heartbeat.
“It felt like everything went into slow motion,” she said.
Doctors estimated that the pregnancy had stopped developing between nine and 10 weeks. Kylie described the experience as a missed miscarriage, explaining that her body had not yet recognized that the pregnancy was no longer viable.
The timing made the loss particularly difficult for Kylie and Jason because she learned what had happened on Jason’s birthday.
Kylie remembered initially struggling with how to tell him because she did not want the news to define his birthday, though she ultimately shared what had happened.
“It was hard for both of us,” she said.
Years later, Kylie’s message is not that fear simply disappears after pregnancy loss. Instead, she says grief can remain while someone still chooses to move forward — and, for her, trying again became one of the hardest but most meaningful decisions she made.
