Jason Kelce defends wife Kylie as his ‘equal’ after online troll calls her ‘homemaker’
Jason Kelce is clarifying his “family dynamic” after an online troll called his wife Kylie Kelce a “homemaker.”
Kelce replied to a user on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday who seemingly took issue with the former NFL star’s reaction to Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech earlier this month.
“Your wife is a homemaker. But you can’t support [Butker],” the person wrote. “And your wife is a homemaker whose home is a mess. Sorry but it is dirty and messy on television. Seems you’re a bit hypocritical. Y’all are going to be left with nothing but swifties. You just ruined your gig. It’s a shame.”
Kelce, in his response, said he has had “a number of people” say this and felt the need to address it.
“I don’t think of Kylie as a homemaker, I think of her as my wife. I think of her as a mother. She has an occupation, as do I, and we keep our house the best we can,” he wrote. “Our marriage is a partnership, we are equals who are figuring it out on the daily. The only expectation is that we love each other, support one another, and are committed to our family, that comes first.”
