In the episode, which aired on April 2, 2024, the 34-year-old podcaster remarked, “I don’t ever want to be out of control,” underscoring her commitment to sobriety. She elaborated on her lifestyle choices, stating, “I can control not having to feel that way. I’ve never smoked anything in my whole life,” further emphasising her determination to remain composed.

Hearon, in a moment of reflection, expressed gratitude for beginning to explore activities such as smoking marijuana and getting tattoos only after turning 26. He urged younger individuals to exercise patience and wait until they have reached a certain level of maturity, noting the importance of a “fully-formed frontal lobe.” Kelce supported this sentiment, reinforcing the value of making thoughtful decisions as one matures.

Kylie Kelce has been open about her and her husband Jason Kelce’s experiences with alcohol throughout their relationship. The couple, who share daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 12 months, have discussed their intertwined histories with drinking on multiple occasions. They notably recounted their first date, which took place through the dating app Tinder, and ended in an embarrassing incident for Jason, who fell asleep at the bar and required assistance from a teammate to return home.
Reflecting on that fateful evening, Jason, a former NFL player for the Philadelphia Eagles, stated in a past interview, “My advice would be to not do what I did. I think I got very lucky to get a second date with my wife.” Despite the awkward start to their romance, he cherishes the memories of their first meeting, recalling it as a moment of “love at first sight,” even if most of the rest of the night is a blur for him.
In a recent episode of *Not Gonna Lie*, Kylie also spoke about her family’s trip to Hawaii with their daughters, revealing that travelling with children necessitates bringing additional help. She characterized vacations with kids as “parenting with a different zip code,” highlighting the unique challenges that come with such experiences.
“I truly believe that vacationing with children anywhere you go is just parenting with a different zip code,” Kylie explained. She emphasized the joy of including family members in their travels, asserting that it enhances the experience for her children. “One of the things that I feel really fortunate about is that when you are vacationing a.k.a. parenting in a different zip code, especially when you’re going to a place with multiple bodies of water, you got to bring in the troops,” she added.
The creative method of engaging family support during trips appears to resonate with her daughters, who enjoy having their loved ones around. “They love getting the people they love most with us,” Kylie noted, expressing her family’s enjoyment of such gatherings. Her candid sharing of practical tips surrounding family holidays highlights her grounded approach to navigating the complexities of parenthood.
As Kylie continues her public journey through both parenting and personal choices regarding alcohol, her insights continue to resonate with many listeners. The transparency regarding her control over substance use, coupled with anecdotes from her family life, creates a relatable narrative that appeals to a broad audience.
Her willingness to discuss challenging topics, along with the joy she finds in family interactions, offers a valuable perspective on modern parenting. Through her podcasting platform, Kelce remains committed to sharing both her struggles and successes, encouraging others to reflect on their choices while fostering a supportive community.
