Pregnant Kylie Kelce Admits She Didn't Immediately Bond with Daughter Wyatt After Birth: 'It Was a Slow Ease'

When Kylie Kelce gave birth to her first baby, it took her a minute to feel a bond.

While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, Feb. 12, the pregnant mom of three, 32, opened up about her postpartum experience, admitting that she didn't immediately feel a bond with her daughter Wyatt, now 5.

As she discussed postpartum with host Alex Cooper, Kylie — who shares daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 23 months, with husband Jason Kelce — said that she couldn't fathom the idea of going through postpartum without having other women around.

“I just can’t imagine feeling the feelings that I felt and not having women around me to be like, ‘That’s not abnormal. You are having the same…’ " she said, trailing off. "Because when I brought home our first, you like give birth. My husband leaves the hospital the next morning to go to work."

"My dad had to pick Wyatt and I up from the hospital as a newborn. I get home and I look at this baby. For the next however many weeks, they don’t smile at you for like six to eight weeks on purpose. So you’re like grasping at straws here of like, ‘Are we cool? Are we good?’ " Kylie continued.

The Not Gonna Lie podcast host admitted it was initially hard for her to feel connected with her baby as a first-time mom since there wasn't an emotional connection.

"But I very much had this moment looking at Wyatt, of like ‘You’re mine? And I made you?’ I did not feel that immediate like, ‘This is my baby.’ I didn’t have that,' " she admits. "I didn’t have that sensationalized like, ‘I’m a mother now.’ It was a slow ease in."

"I always tell moms, especially first-time moms, that six to eight weeks when they start to smile at you on purpose, like, ‘Oh we’re cool, there is a connection here.’ Because before that, they are a blob. They cry, they poop, they eat, they sleep. That’s it," Kylie added.
