Kylie Kelce Has an Inferiority Complex About Her ‘Deadbeat’ Elf on the Shelf

Kylie Kelce is not going to use her podcast to share private details about her family, but the lies she tells her daughters are fair game.

In the latest episode of her Wave Original podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the 32-year-old WAG shut down requests to reveal the name of “baby number four”—and not just because she hasn’t chosen one yet.

“Even if I did have a name picked out, I’d probably keep that one in the family,” she told listeners.

Kylie and Jason Kelce currently share three daughters with a fourth baby girl on the way. However, the Kelces adds another member to their family around Christmas each year: an Elf on the Shelf named “M&M-Y.” And yes, Jason and Kylie have the most relatable approach to the Christmas tradition.

“I don’t think our chosen avenue of Elf on the Shelf will be a surprise to anyone,” Kylie said of her family’s “deadbeat” elf. “We are the most low-maintenance Elf on the Shelf family you can find.”

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition involving toy elves that spy on children for Santa Clause. These elves are known to move about the house, causing mischief and leaving treats…at least, for some families.

“M&M-Y shows up on December 1. M&M-Y moves spots…most nights. That’s it,” Kelce said. “She’s not bringing gifts, she’s not doing mischief, she’s not requiring any additional work.”

While Kylie Kelce loves the idea of drawing on her kids’ faces with a marker and framing the doll, like some families do, the stealth required is just too much of a commitment.

“The idea of waiting until my kids are in a deep enough sleep and then scheming to get in their room and hoping they don’t wake up, that’s just a commitment I’m not willing to make,” she said.

A low-effort elf works just fine for Kelce, who has taken to lying to 5-year-old Wyatt when she forgets to move the doll, claiming the elf didn’t want to get her wings wet in the rain.

“I’m not gonna lie to you guys. I will lie to my children,” Kylie explained. “I lied through my teeth, and I do it again because she bought every second of it. God, I did feel a little guilty, and I have moved it every morning since the second time I told that lie. It’s fine. We’re fine.”
