Kylie Kelce brushed aside the buzz surrounding her podcast's triumph over Joe Rogan's long-standing chart dominance. Her new show "Not Gonna Lie" claimed the top spot on both Spotify and Apple podcasts after its first episode on Dec. 5.
Kylie maintains her role as a high school field hockey coach. She is also connected to NFL stardom through her husband Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, and brother-in-law Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaking from her home studio outside Philadelphia, Kylie addressed the confusion about her identity with characteristic candor in an interview with The New York Times published on Wednesday.
"Which is very funny to me — I don't need you to know who I am," Kylie said.

The podcast's success arrives amid significant developments in the Kelce family. Jason and Kylie are expecting their fourth daughter in April. The Kelce brothers' podcast "New Heights" recently secured a $100 million advertising and distribution deal with Amazon's Wondery.
Despite this family connection to podcast success, Kylie has historically kept a low profile, making only two appearances on "New Heights." Her 2023 debut became the show's most-watched episode.
