"Philly's Princess" Kylie Kelce Says She Feels "A Little Guilty" About Her Increasing Popularity
"I’m like, 'I am trying to scrape applesauce off the couch… This is not that fascinating.'"
Kylie Kelce, the woman fans started calling “Philly’s Princess,” is now dealing with the weirdest kind of spotlight. Not the glamorous kind, either. More like, she’s trying to go about her day, and somehow it all turns into content.
She said she feels “a little guilty” that people are so invested in what she’s doing, because she’s out here scraping applesauce off the couch, not hosting a royal tour. The attention only keeps growing, especially since her brother-in-law Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift, and Kylie and Jason met Taylor for the first time at the Chiefs vs. Bills game in January.
Between the Super Bowl pregnancy glow-up and Jason’s shirtless antics, Kylie’s suddenly become everybody’s favorite storyline.

When Kylie says she’s “not that fascinating,” it’s hard to ignore how the public latched onto her the moment she was nine months pregnant at the 2023 Super Bowl.
Then came Bennett’s birth just two weeks later, and suddenly Kylie and Jason were juggling diapers and a steadily expanding fanbase.
After Travis and Taylor went public, the attention spilled into Kylie’s world too, especially when she warned Jason to behave before their first Taylor meeting at Chiefs vs. Bills.
And even with Dove Self-Esteem Project messaging in the mix, Kylie still has to live in the spotlight where “applesauce on the couch” can turn into a headline.
Kylie has most recently been involved with the Dove Self-Esteem Project. "We’re making it a point right now to emphasize a positive tone when we talk about anything body-wise," she explained.
"I am now hyper-aware of how I talk about myself and my body, not only in front of my daughters but in front of my players," the field hockey coach continued. "I think it’s important to model that positive body talk about yourself because then they’re taking that away from what you’re doing."

Kylie might call it applesauce, but the internet will never stop treating it like a royal event.
