Kylie Kelce has sparked excitement among fans of her family by hinting at the potential arrival of a new addition during the latest episode of her podcast, *Not Gonna Lie*. In the episode that aired on 12 March, the 33-year-old mother of four teased listeners with news about a furry companion possibly joining her family, which she shares with NFL star husband, Jason Kelce.

Kylie and Jason are parents to four daughters: Wyatt, aged six, Elliotte, five, Bennett, three, and Finn, who is almost one. In her announcement, Kylie stated, “In a couple of weeks, you might be meeting a new Kelce because you’re getting the cuddliest, cutest, furriest FAFO of them all on 31 March.” She referenced her FAFO YouTube series in which she showcases various skills, leaving fans eager for further details regarding the family’s impending expansion.
The excitement was further fuelled by Kylie’s playful reference to the new family member, dropping a hint that included the playful word “Meow.” This ambiguity prompted speculation about whether the new addition might indeed be a cat, leading Kylie to encourage her audience to “tune in and find out.”
The playful debate about introducing a feline to the Kelce household has been ongoing. Longtime fans will know that Kylie has expressed a desire for a pet cat over the years, while Jason has constantly maintained a preference for a more practical outdoor cat. Their differing views on pet ownership have been a source of light-hearted banter, with Jason famously informing their children that cats are not safe.
Adding fuel to the fire, Taylor Swift—a known cat lover and Kylie’s future sister-in-law—has been making efforts to persuade the Kelce family, particularly the couple’s daughters, that cats can indeed make wonderful pets. During her appearance on the *New Heights* podcast, co-hosted by Jason and his brother Travis, Swift shared her own experiences of introducing her cats, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button, to Kylie’s children. She recounted how her mission to convince them that cats aren’t harmful included a hands-on experience with her friendly ragdoll cat, Benjamin.
Swift recalled a particularly sweet moment when one of Jason and Kylie’s daughters, Benny, expressed joy upon finding Benjamin. “I mean, my favourite thing ever is when she goes up to me and just says, ‘I find Benjamin. I find him,’” Swift said, highlighting the bonding moments the kids have enjoyed with the cats.
During an earlier podcast discussion in October 2025, the couple addressed questions from fans about the potential for a pet cat. Kylie mentioned that they were making progress in their negotiations, suggesting that a pet might be on the horizon. Jason reiterated his stance on wanting an “outdoor cat” and highlighted that discussions were in progress regarding an “indoor-outdoor” solution.
In a further attempt to jest, Jason remarked that any pet they bring into their home would need to “pay rent,” playfully suggesting he’d tolerate a “deadbeat dog,” but not a “deadbeat cat.” Kylie’s desire for a companion animal remains strong, and she previously expressed her wish for Jason to be fully supportive when they ultimately decide to make the leap into pet ownership.
At present, the Kelce family is already home to an Irish Wolfhound named Nessie, who was welcomed into their lives in 2024. With Kylie’s candidness about wanting to adopt a cat, the dynamics of the Kelce household continue to evolve. As the anticipation builds regarding the potential new addition, fans remain eager to see how this story progresses, eager for the latest updates from the beloved family. As they navigate their contrasting viewpoints on pets, it’s clear Kylie’s commitment to achieving her dream of expanding their animal family remains unwavering.
