Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce responded to accusations his wife is a lousy housekeeper by defending their “family dynamic” and sharing the blame for their messy home.
Kelce’s social media post came in response to an X troll who took issue with the 36-year-old perennial Pro-Bowler’s unwillingness to support highly conservative statements regarding women’s roles in society recently made by NFL kicker Harrison Butker.
The critical online insult that got Kelce’s attention — made by an X user with 14 followers at the time – also referred to Kylie Kelce as a “homemaker whose home is a mess.”
Jason Kelce disagreed.
“I don’t think of Kylie as a homemaker, I think of her as my wife, I think of her as a mother,” he posted. “She has an occupation, as do I, and we keep our house the best we can.”
Kylie Kelce raises money for the Eagles Autism Foundation, which includes organizing an annual fundraiser in Sea Isle City, N.J., according to Elle. She’s also the mother to three young children.
The X troll who insulted the Kelces’ claims to have seen their home on television and was left unimpressed.
Kelce called his marriage a partnership of “two equals who are figuring it out on the daily” Monday.
The 6-foot-3, 282-pound, former offensive lineman added that he and his wife have similar duties when it comes to life at home and they both see family — not housekeeping — as their top priority.
“It is both our faults it is messy, but such is life with 3 young children, busy schedules, and neither of us being neat freaks,” he wrote. “She also makes a mean sandwhich (Sic).”
Butker said during a commencement speech to a conservative Missouri school earlier this month that the majority of female graduates are probably “most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world” as they got their college degrees.
According to Kelce, to each their own.
“If being a homemaker, works for some, and that’s what they want, then hell yea, that’s awesome, more power to you,” he wrote. “I want to be clear, I’m not downplaying that at all, but that is not our family dynamic.”
