Kylie Kelce Discusses Aging and Embraces Her Wrinkles
Kylie Kelce opened up about the reality of aging.
Kylie, 33, wife of Jason Kelce, shared her thoughts on embracing aging during an episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast that aired on Thursday, December 18. In the “Doom Scroll” segment, Kylie expressed her admiration for Kate Winslet’s perspective on aging, which the actress articulated on the “Happy Place” podcast earlier this month.
Kylie played a clip where Winslet, 50, mentioned, “Having a face that moves, having all of the wrinkles that my 50 years [brought], hopefully show that it matters a great deal because I want to lead by example.” She further added, “It’s important and it matters if we can be decent women in today’s world and be kind to ourselves and others. I think it’s important.”
Kylie praised Winslet’s sentiments, stating she cherished her statement “so much.”
“I’m not here to comment on what others are doing. Women can do whatever makes them happy,” she explained. “What I will say is, I love this so much because I am very much in the camp of your face has been telling people how you feel. It has been experiencing your life.”
Kylie added, “I think one of the prettiest things is crow’s feet [wrinkles] because, typically, it is from smiling. Smile lines [are] from feeling joy in your life.”
“I always like to keep in mind that regardless of my platform, I have four daughters, and I want them to know they were made exactly the way they were intended to be made and they should proceed as such,” Kylie shared. (She is the mother to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 5 months, with Jason, 38.)
“What I’m talking about is when I raise my eyebrows because I’m interested in what my children are saying, and I have lines in my forehead, it only furthers the expression,” Kylie emphasized, joking, “If I couldn’t raise my eyebrows, I couldn’t be shocked at the s*** my kids are saying.”
She also mentioned that when her kids reach their 30s, she hopes they’ll feel at ease with their aging faces. “I want them to think, ‘Mom had wrinkles then too.’ Because I do. And I earned these suckers and I’m gonna keep them because I like them,” Kylie noted, acknowledging that she doesn’t always appreciate her fine lines.
“This is how I look, and I hope that my daughters and other young women confidently say that is how they look,” Kylie stated. “If they want to plump their lips or freeze their foreheads, power to them. But I’d love for more women to realize that it doesn’t have to be the new norm. Kate Winslet, you nailed that.”
Winslet and Kylie are not the only celebrities who have been honest about avoiding Botox. Elizabeth Banks recently shared with Us Weekly that she has yet to undergo any procedures but would be open to considering Botox.
“I mean, first of all, I still have not, but I’m talking about it. I’ll collect the names of good doctors,” she expressed, adding that she intends to “age as gracefully as [she] can.”
“I want to offer other women something that feels attainable,” she concluded.
