Jason Kelce Introduces Adorable New Member of His and Kylie Kelce’s Family
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."

After a not-so-smooth first date, Jaso Kelce and Kylie Kelce would hit off when they went out again, with the two making their relationship Instagram official in November 2015.
After tying the knot in 2018, Kylie reflected on celebrating the wins in life alongside her now-husband.
"This off-season was my favorite yet," she wrote in a social media post that July. "It was short but oh so sweet. I am so incredibly proud to call this man my husband, and I can’t wait to watch his hard work and dedication through another season."
By October 2019, the couple expanded their family, welcoming baby Wyatt into the world.
Two years later, their second daughter Elliotte, joined her big sister.
Just one year later, Kylie shared that "another Kelce lady" would be added to the bunch with an adorable set of photos.
In February 2023, the couple welcomed their third child, with her arrival coming nearly two weeks after Jason faced off against brother Travis Kelce at the 2023 Super Bowl.
The NFL star shared a glimpse at his oldest daughters holding a huge prize in May 2023, writing on Instagram, "Never in a million years did I think I’d hold the Larry O’Brien trophy, let alone that it would be in my house!! Unbelievable honor to see it in person. The size is incredible, looks so small when NBA players are holding it, but it’s actually massive!! The girls were very interested in it."
The couple shared a look at the family of five while on the field that August, joking in a joint Instagram post, "Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice."
The family rang in Wyatt's fourth birthday in October 2023 on the Philadelphia Eagles' home turf, with Kylie quipping on Instagram, "We were celebrating a 4th birthday when the Birds went 4-0."
Kylie shared this pic of her and Jason's daughters Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett on Instagram in June 2024, writing, "Parents know… 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!"
Jason and brother Travis Kelce's mom Donna Kelce commented, "The cutest beautiful bunch of 'lucky charms' under that rainbow!!!!
