Jason Kelce Calls His Daughters ‘Bougie’ and Reveals Ideal City to Raise Them
Reporter’s note: here’s the insider breakdown on Jason Kelce’s latest parenting play. Jason Kelce’s locker-room swagger has pivoted from NFL huddles to home life—he’s joking that his two little girls are full-blown “bougie,” and he’s even mapped out the perfect city for Kylie to have raised them. During a recent appearance on Barstool’s Pizza Reviews podcast, the Philadelphia Eagles center quipped that his daughters, Elliotte Ray (3) and Phoenix Duarte (2), have developed tastes more fitting for West Coast grown-ups than Philly preschoolers.
Kelce explained that snack time at home isn’t a simple peanut butter and jelly affair. “They ask for organic kale chips and mini avocado toasts,” he laughed. “They won’t touch anything unless it’s served in an artisanal platter.” According to Kelce, the girls have become so accustomed to specialty everything—from oat-milk lattes to Himalayan pink-salt crackers—that he half-joked to Kylie, “We should have raised these girls in Santa Monica.”
The two-time Pro Bowler painted a vivid picture: spontaneous smoothie runs, toddler yoga classes and garden-to-table dinners that rival upscale restaurants. “Every grocery store visit turns into a cheese-curing demo,” he said, recalling one trip where Elliotte insisted on sampling three different truffle-infused varieties. Phoenix, meanwhile, apparently requests mint-cucumber spa water over plain old juice. Kylie Kelce, who shares her daily routines on Instagram, reportedly just rolled with it—swapping sidewalk chalk for chic coffee mugs.
Fans caught wind of this family quip last week when Jason’s brother Travis Kelce teased him about staging a Hollywood move on his podcast. While Jason insists Philly remains home base, he’s clearly entertained the thought of L.A.’s sunshine lifestyle for his daughters’ “sophisticated palates.” It’s a far cry from the Sunday tailgate scene, but it underscores how parenting tweaks even the toughest athlete.
For those tracking celebrity family news, this marks another chapter in the Kelce household’s public charm offensive—balancing gridiron grit with toddler tantrums over quinoa bowls. As Jason prepares for the upcoming season and Kylie fields yet another packed schedule, fans will be watching to see if these high-maintenance munchkins inspire a real cross-country change. And there you have it: gourmet toddlers or Philly faithfuls? You decide where this story goes next.
