Who’s a homemaker?
Not Kylie Kelce, according to her husband and former NFL star Jason Kelce.
This all comes after an online troll referred to Kelce’s wife as a “homemaker,” leading the older Kelce brother to clarify his “family dynamic.”
The whole thing originated from the Kelce brothers sharing their reaction on their “New Heights” podcast to Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts college, earlier this month.
“Make no mistake about it, a lot of the things [Butker] said in his commencement speech are not things that I align myself with,” Jason Kelce said.
“To me, I can listen to somebody talk and take great value in it, like when he’s talking about the importance of family and the importance that a great mother can make,” he added, “while also acknowledging that not everybody has to be a homemaker if that’s not what they want to do in life.”
One internet troll took issue with Kelce’s opinion and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their opinion on the matter.
“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.”
Taken aback by the comment, Kelce felt the need to address the troll and responded online, saying he’s seen a “number of people” describe his wife as a “homemaker.”
“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.”
“We both raise our kids, we both work, We both keep our home. 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 continued.
“If being a homemaker, works for some, and that’s what they want, then hell yea, that’s awesome, more power to you,” he concluded. “I want to be clear, I’m not downplaying that at all, but that is not our family dynamic.”
