Why Kylie Kelce Doesn’t Like Being Referred to as a WAG: ‘Deeply Bothers Me’
Kylie Kelce would prefer not to be called a WAG-and she recently explained why she doesn’t feel the term is descriptive of her role.
The term, a trendy title used to refer to “wives and girlfriends” of professional athletes, carries a certain “stereotype,” according to the wife of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who admitted she “doesn’t like it.”
In a resurfaced New Heights podcast episode re-shared via Reddit on Sunday, Feb. 18, the mom-of-three was asked a simple question by her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce: “How does it feel to be referred to as a WAG?” Kylie didn’t waste any time with her answer, cutting straight to the chase by responding, “I don’t like it.”
The Kelce brothers pestered the 31-year-old about why she feels that way. “You don’t like it?” Travis asked as Jason chimed in with, “Why not?” at the same time. “Because I think, for the most part, there’s a stereotype of WAGs that I would not–” she said before her husband and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end interrupted.
“What’s that? What’s the stereotype of a WAG?” they continued to inquire during her explanation. “That everything is designer,” Kylie remarked, met with gasps from the podcast hosts. “You don’t like designer stuff? Jalen [Hurts] got me a Louis Vuitton bag, it’s really nice,” the dad-of-three joked, trolling his wife.
“What’s wrong with designers?” Travis pressed on. Meanwhile, Kylie continued trying to get her point across through the brothers’ comedic banter. “That they are with their significant others for reasons other than that they truly love them-honestly, that’s the part that deeply bothers me,” she expressed.
In response, Travis said, “We’re not calling you that,” while Jason playfully quipped, “I am,” as they both burst into laughter. “Ha-ha-ha,” Kylie sarcastically remarked back, obviously totally accustomed to the Kelce crew’s silliness.
