Kylie Kelce on 'Call Her Daddy'Kylie Kelce opened up about her disdain for the term WAG during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, telling host Alex Cooper "I think it has a serious negative connotation attached"
"I think that it's this suggestion that your spouse's profession swallows you up as well. I have made a serious effort to make sure that ... both Jason and I have made a serious effort to make sure that while he was playing, that it was clear that that was his job," Kylie shared
When Cooper insisted a lot of WAGs have their "own independent lives" and are "real humans with real lives and feelings," Kylie responded, "The vast majority, it's so funny to me because it's like, it is that stigma of, you're with them because they make a lot of money or, you want designer bags or you want ... you live in a mansion"
Kylie Kelce doesn't want to only be defined by her husband Jason's NFL career.
In an interview on the Wednesday, Feb. 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kylie, 32 — who married former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason, 37, in 2018 — insisted she's not a fan of the term WAG, which is typically used to describe sports star's wives and girlfriends.
"I don't like it. I don't like it because I think it has a serious negative connotation attached," the Not Gonna Lie podcast host told Alex Cooper.
"I think that it's this suggestion that your spouse's profession swallows you up as well. I have made a serious effort to make sure that ... both Jason and I have made a serious effort to make sure that while he was playing, that it was clear that that was his job," Kylie — who is currently expecting her fourth baby girl with the ESPN broadcaster — said.

Kylie continued, "In the same way that someone would go to work and come home and not necessarily talk about their entire day. You're filing taxes. You're doing spreadsheets. Like, you're not coming home and telling your spouse about, like, the spreadsheet you worked out."
As Cooper insisted a lot of WAGs have their "own independent lives" and are "real humans with real lives and feelings," Kylie responded, "The vast majority, it's so funny to me because it's like, it is that stigma of, you're with them because they make a lot of money or, you want designer bags or you want ... you live in a mansion."
"There have been a number of people who have come to our house and they're like, 'Oh.' I'm like again, not easily offended. I'm like 'Yep, that's what you get,' " Kylie joked.
