“IT’S A BABY GIRL”: Jason Kelce in Tears as Wife Kylie Welcomes Their 4th Child, Shares First Photos and Name!

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Kelce family just grew by two tiny feet and an immeasurable amount of love. In a moment that melted hearts across the nation, NFL legend Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have officially welcomed their fourth child—a beautiful baby girl who’s already winning hearts before even leaving the hospital.

The news broke early Thursday morning as Jason shared a deeply personal photo on Instagram: his calloused hand gently cradling the delicate fingers of his newborn daughter, accompanied by a caption that read simply:

“She’s here. She’s perfect. Kylie is my hero. And my heart just grew ten sizes. 💕”

An Emotional Delivery — “I Cried Like a Rookie”

Speaking with reporters outside Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, the former Eagles center could hardly hold back his emotions. “I cried like a rookie on draft night,” Jason said with a trembling smile. “Every time we do this, it feels like the first time. But this one hit different.”

Sources close to the family confirmed that Kylie gave birth late Wednesday evening surrounded by Jason, her mother, and her two sisters. The birth reportedly went smoothly, and both mother and baby are healthy and resting comfortably.

Jason was said to be holding Kylie’s hand the entire time, whispering encouragements and wiping away tears as their daughter entered the world.

The Name That Took Everyone’s Breath Away

A few hours after the initial post, the couple shared their daughter’s full name in a joint statement:

“Welcome to the world, Bennie Rae Kelce. You are loved beyond words.”

The name “Bennie Rae” is a touching blend of strength and sweetness. According to Kylie, “Bennie” is short for “Benedicta,” which means “blessed” in Latin, while “Rae” honors Jason’s late grandmother, Rachel, who passed away just last year.

Fans immediately flooded social media with messages of congratulations and praise for the beautiful and unique name. The hashtag #BennieRae quickly started trending, with fans posting adorable artwork, heartfelt comments, and even baby gift ideas.

Sisters React with Joy (and Giggles)

The Kelce household, already buzzing with the energy of three daughters—Wyatt, Elliott, and Bennett—is now the home of four girls. Jason joked in a podcast weeks ago that if they had one more daughter, he’d be “officially outnumbered on every front.” And now, that prediction has come true.

According to Kylie’s best friend, the older girls were “over the moon” to meet their baby sister.

“They’ve already picked out matching pajamas and are planning tea parties,” she said. “Wyatt keeps asking if the baby can sleep in her bed, and Elliott is calling her ‘Baby Rae Sunshine.’ It’s melting everyone.”

From the Gridiron to the Nursery: Jason’s Journey Into Fatherhood

Jason Kelce has long been known as one of the NFL’s toughest offensive linemen—a warrior on the field with unmatched grit, tenacity, and leadership. But off the field, fans know him as a gentle, doting, fiercely loving father.

Whether it’s walking hand-in-hand with his girls to school, letting them paint his toenails on off days, or cheering for them in dance recitals, Jason has become the model of the modern “girl dad.”

During his recent retirement announcement, Jason mentioned how much he was looking forward to spending more time at home, saying, “My girls are growing up fast, and I don’t want to miss a second more.”

Now with four daughters, Jason’s journey into fatherhood has deepened yet again.

“My home is full of pink, glitter, stuffed animals, and squeals,” Jason laughed. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Fans, Players, and Celebrities Celebrate Baby Bennie Rae

The NFL world responded with love and excitement. Jason’s younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was one of the first to comment:

“Uncle Trav reporting for duty! Love you already, Bennie Rae 💖 Can’t wait to spoil you.”

Former teammates like Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, and Fletcher Cox also posted congratulatory messages. Even Taylor Swift, rumored to be close with the Kelce family, liked the Instagram post and left a string of pink heart emojis on Kylie’s story.

Philadelphia fans wasted no time celebrating, with one mural artist already working on a “Welcome Baby Bennie” tribute near Lincoln Financial Field.

What’s Next for the Growing Kelce Clan?

Now officially a family of six, the Kelces say they’re settling in for a season of rest, bonding, and adjusting to life with a newborn all over again. Jason hinted that while he may no longer wear an Eagles jersey on Sundays, he’s preparing for a new kind of challenge:

“Diaper changes at 3 a.m., bottle warming, lullaby duty… this is my Super Bowl now.”

Kylie, ever the graceful and grounded mother, shared a heartfelt message of gratitude:

“We are so blessed. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Bennie Rae is lucky to have the best big sisters—and the most loving dad on Earth.”

A Final Word from Jason: “It’s the Best Kind of Chaos”

As he held his newborn daughter and posed for a candid hospital hallway photo—his eyes red from crying, a soft smile on his lips, and his massive arms cradling the tiniest human—Jason Kelce reflected on what really matters.

“Football taught me how to fight. But being a dad? That’s where I learned how to love.”

Congratulations to Jason and Kylie Kelce on their beautiful new addition. Welcome to the world, Bennie Rae—you’ve already got a whole city cheering for you.
