Kylie Kelce opens up about difficult pregnancy fashion experience: ‘I didn’t like it’

Kylie Kelce is never afraid to keep it real, especially when it comes to motherhood. The podcast host recently opened up about one of the least glamorous parts of pregnancy—finding comfortable clothes—and admitted that she simply “didn’t like” most maternity fashion.

During a recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, Kylie reflected on dressing through her pregnancies and explained that comfort always came before style. As the mother of four daughters, she said she quickly learned that traditional maternity clothing often failed to meet her expectations, leaving her searching for easier and more practical alternatives. 

Rather than filling her wardrobe with maternity outfits, Kylie revealed that she frequently turned to her husband Jason Kelce’s oversized XXL T-shirts. The retired NFL star unknowingly became her fashion lifesaver, with his loose-fitting shirts offering the comfort she couldn’t find elsewhere.

Laughing about her approach, Kylie summed up her pregnancy fashion philosophy in one simple sentence: “If it fits, you wear it.” She admitted she still borrows Jason’s shirts even after giving birth because they remain some of the most comfortable pieces in her closet. 

Although Kylie owned maternity jeans, they were far from her favorite choice. She confessed that she rarely wore them because they never felt as comfortable as she had hoped. Instead, she preferred lightweight maternity dresses, explaining that they offered better airflow and were much easier to wear throughout pregnancy, particularly during warmer months. 

The 33-year-old also recommended one wardrobe staple that carried her through different stages of motherhood: Lululemon Align high-rise leggings. According to Kylie, the stretchy pants worked well before, during and after pregnancy, making them one of the few items she considered a worthwhile investment. 

Kylie has built a loyal following by speaking honestly about motherhood, pregnancy and postpartum life without trying to present a picture-perfect image. Whether discussing body changes, parenting challenges or everyday mishaps, she has consistently encouraged women to embrace practicality over unrealistic expectations. Earlier this year, she also spoke openly about the emotional challenges of postpartum body changes, reminding mothers that adjusting to a new body takes time and patience. 

Married to former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce since 2018, Kylie often credits her husband for supporting her through every stage of parenthood. While borrowing his clothes may have started as a practical solution during pregnancy, it has become a humorous reminder of how the couple navigates family life together.

Kylie’s candid reflections have resonated with countless mothers who have struggled with maternity fashion. By sharing both the frustrations and the funny moments, she continues to remind women that pregnancy isn’t about looking perfect—it’s about finding what makes you feel comfortable, confident and supported.
