NEED TO KNOW
- Kylie Kelce opened up about the evolving relationship between her third daughter, Bennett, and her youngest daughter, Finn, on her Not Gonna Lie podcast
- Kylie has been vocal in the past about how Bennett or “Benny” has not been a fan of losing the youngest sibling title to Finn
- However, she’s seen the two sisters making some progress recently
Kylie Kelce is celebrating progress in her daughters’ sibling relationship, no matter how minor.
The 33-year-old mother of four has been vocal about her and husband Jason Kelce’s third daughter, Bennett, 2, not being the biggest fan of the family’s newest addition, 5-month-old daughter, Finnley.
However, on the Thursday, Sept. 4 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie, who is also mom to daughters Wyatt, 5, and Elliotte, 4, shared that there have been positive steps forward between the two youngest members of her family.
“Over the last five months, we’ve had progress,” she said. “Benny will still tell people to put her down. But it has progressed from ‘put it down,’ which I’m gonna call that progress.”

Kylie added that the siblings have also been getting in some quality time together, adding, “We’ve also had a few times where Benny talks to Finn or what she calls ‘plays with Finn.’ I don’t necessarily know if I would classify it as playing, but she’s trying her best and she is engaging in positive interactions, so I’m gonna call it a win.”
And Bennett’s answer to one important question has recently changed, marking another sign of progress.
“I have asked her recently, ‘Should we keep her?’ When I ask it, I mean it in a playful way, but I said, ‘Hey Benny, do you think that we she keep her?’ “ Kylie shared. “And she said, ‘Yes,’ so that’s great. To be fair, previously she has answered, ‘No.’ Again, progress.”

And while Bennett has shown signs of improvement in her relationship with baby Finn, her mom doesn’t have the highest hopes for her future preschool career.
When a fan noted that older sister Wyatt, who is starting kindergarten soon, had broken her dad, Jason, and uncle Travis Kelce’s streak of getting kicked out of preschool, Kylie expressed concerns about Bennett.
“We are one for four so far and I kind of love that, starting off strong,” Kylie said. “I think Ellie will also achieve kindergarten without getting kicked out of preschool, can’t say the same for Benny. She is the ringer, and I just don’t have faith that she will not do something diabolical. She will do something that at the very least will put us on a very serious phone call because I know Benny, yikes.”
From the moment Kylie announced that she was expecting baby Finn, Bennett has seemingly not been thrilled. In her November 2024 announcement, Kylie shared a photo of her three older daughters, which featured Bennett crying over the loss of her youngest sibling status.

And in her postpartum episode of Not Gonna Lie, Kylie opened up more about Bennett’s reaction to welcoming a younger sister.
“Benny is still ticked. She is annoyed. She told me put baby down,” she said. “Wyatt is very excited. She keeps walking by and going, ‘Oh my gosh. She’s just so cute.'”
“Ellie is excited and wants to be helpful, and they both just wanna keep touching her piggies,” she added. “It’s funny because Ellie keeps coming by and saying, ‘Can I touch your piggies?’ And I’m like, ‘She’s sleeping.’ And she’s like, ‘Okay. Can I touch your piggies?’ So, yeah, we’ve had a few wake-up moments just because we needed to touch piggies, and she’ll be better for it.”
