Jason Kelce is revealing how he and wife Kylie Kelce split household duties — to her dismay.
“The one thing Kylie makes me do is [take out the] trash,” Jason, 36, said on the Wednesday, November 20, episode of his and brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “That is firmly my job — and I suck at it. I miss it all the time because we’re traveling right now. I try to really stay on top of the trash, taking the trash down [to the curb] and embracing that.”
Jason is also “trying to do the dishes” on occasion, as well.
“Kylie hates when I do the dishes,” he quipped. “She just has OCD about getting all the food off the plate before you put it in the dishwasher. The dishwasher instructions clearly state to not do that. It really gets clean without doing that. I’m just saying what the instructions say. I’m an instruction follower.”
As Jason attempted to explain his perspective, he interjected to note that Kylie, 32, is currently “getting mad at” him.
“Stop f—ing exposing me, you d—!” Kylie said from her perch off-camera, before Travis, 35, advised his older brother to “keep [his] hands off the dishes.”
Jason ultimately agreed, “Fine, I won’t do the dishes.”
Travis, meanwhile, reminded “New Heights” listeners that they “should do [their] chores if [their] parents] told” them to on a regular basis.
Jason, a retired Philadelphia Eagles football star, and Kylie have been married since 2018. They share daughters Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 20 months.
The couple also split many household duties from cleaning to child-rearing. Earlier this year, Jason even shut down social media critics who called Kylie a “homemaker.” (The comments were made after Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker advocated for traditional gender roles in a 2024 graduation speech. Both Jason and Travis disagreed with the remarks.)
Kylie exclusively told Us Weekly in June that Jason’s defense was “one of the many, many reasons [she loves] him so much,” noting that his mother, Donna Kelce, set such an “outstanding example” of a strong female figure.
“I tell everybody I wish I had the traveling abilities of my mother-in-law. It is those traits that I think helped him understand that women can be sort of a strong force,” Kylie gushed to Us. “And although they’re no longer together, his parents were very much a partnership in how they function and it was a team effort. He has taken that into his adult life and he uses that as an example of how he shows me respect and love every single day.”
Donna shares her two sons with ex-husband Ed Kelce.
