Jason Kelce Introduces New Addition to His and Kylie Kelce’s Family
Jason Kelce Introduces A New Family Member After the Death of His Dog “Winnie
Jason Kelce scored a furry new family member.
The former Philadelphia Eagles player, 36, revealed that he and wife, Kylie Kelce, whose dog Winnie died in March, have a new pup—an Irish wolfhound named Nessie.
“Have you seen Nessie yet? Our new puppy?” Jason asked his brother, Travis Kelce, during the Sept. 12 episode of their New Heights podcast.
Travis responded, “I have been watching that baby wolf, that coyote walking around behind you for the past like five minutes.”
Jason then called Nessie over and told her to “say hi to everybody” before his younger brother remarked that she’s a “good lookin’ pup.”
“Seems like an absolute sweetheart,” Travis, 34, added as the dog licked Jason’s face. “She have as much fire as Winnie?”
While Jason didn’t respond to his question about his family’s late dog, he did joke that “she’s coming off real sweet right now, [but] she is a terror.”
He went on to explain that Nessie is “the most food aggressive dog” they’ve “ever had” and can climb up into their sink, pull dishes out of the dishwasher “with her teeth” and even open doors on her own.
Jason, who retired from the NFL earlier this year, added, “I’m like, ‘What the f–k is this dog?'”

The introduction of Nessie to the world comes six months after Kylie—who shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 12 months with Jason—announced the heartbreaking passing of Winnie, who was also an Irish wolfhound.
“When I was in high school I had a folder on my desktop labeled ‘Gods gift to earth,'” she wrote underneath a March 14 Instagram carousel of the dog. “It was images of Irish Wolfhouds [sic] that I had collected from Google. I had fallen in love with the breed when I was a young and never let my fascination with them fade. It all lead me to Winnie and holy s–t did she live up to the hype.”
“She was everything I had hoped for in a wolfie and more,” Kylie, 32, continued. “I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace. I love you, Winn. You will always be my first born child.”

In addition to adding a new pet to the family, Kylie also signaled recently that she and Jason are open to the possibility of having a fourth child together, too.
“We’re rotating through clothes we bought for our first daughter now to our youngest, so we have gone through a lot of hand-me-downs,” told New York Magazine’s The Strategist in July. “The Hanna Anderson PJs last forever. We still have some packed up, just in case there ends up being a fourth.”
