While Kylie Kelce’s daughters are still in the early stages of childhood, the NFL wife and mother of four is already receiving parenting advice that might shape how she navigates the teenage years ahead. In a heartfelt and revealing conversation on her podcast Not Gonna Lie, Kylie opened the floor to Hollywood actress and seasoned mother Kate Hudson, who offered insights from her own parenting journey—wisdom that resonated far beyond the mic.
Kylie Kelce turns to Kate Hudson for parenting guidance as her daughters grow up fast
Kate Hudson, 46, has been through the ups and downs of motherhood, raising three children—Ryder, 21, Bingham, 13, and Rani, 6. Sharing reflections from her early days as a young mother, Hudson painted a powerful picture of how intentional parenting can return in the most unexpected, fulfilling ways. Recalling a pivotal moment with her eldest son, she said, “There just was a moment about a year and a half ago, and he was like, ‘You alright?’ And then he shared his perspective on something in my life based around just my schedule... he’s giving back to me right now. He’s seeing me right now. It’s pretty awesome.”
This raw, candid moment struck a chord with Kylie Kelce, who recently welcomed her fourth daughter, Finn, with Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce. For Kylie, who is in the trenches of early motherhood with daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and newborn Finn, the exchange offered a glimpse into the future—one where the effort and love poured into parenting eventually return, often when least expected.

Hudson didn’t stop at nostalgia. She delivered advice that challenges conventional parenting norms, urging mothers to release control as their children mature. “Let your kids go. Let them f------ go. Don’t hold on. Don’t expect anything of them,” she declared. Her message was unapologetic and honest, a reality check for parents reluctant to let go as their kids gain independence.
Kylie responded with thoughtful affirmation, “Almost push back harder,” highlighting the paradox many parents face when trying to stay close while giving space. Hudson agreed, adding, “Let them go enjoy their life. Let them be for a bit… And what you realize is you might go a week or two and they’re not going to call you, but when they do and they need you…” to which Kylie replied, “You’re still mom.” Hudson simply closed the loop: “Yeah and it’s okay.”
These wise exchanges go beyond parenting theory—they are lived experiences, shared vulnerably by women at different stages of motherhood. Hudson’s honesty and Kylie’s openness offer reassurance that while parenting is never perfect, it evolves. What matters most is showing up with love, even when it means stepping back.
As Hudson reminded all listeners, “If you put the effort in, it does come back.” For moms like Kylie—and for every parent wondering how to strike that delicate balance between nurturing and letting go—this episode is a gentle nudge to trust the process, even if it means not being called for a few weeks. Because in the end, being “mom” is a role that doesn’t expire—it just transforms.
