Kylie Kelce is adjusting to having three of her four kids out of the house.
The 34-year-old mom of four discussed her third daughter, Bennie, starting preschool on the Thursday, April 23 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast during her “You Know What's F---ed Up?” segment.
“Three of my babies are now officially in school, and I don't feel great about it,” admitted Kylie, who shares her four girls with husband Jason Kelce. “Bennie started preschool last week because she's 3 now. And we were waiting until after spring break because our schedules were a little wonky. And also, I was being selfish. I wanted her to stay home with me.”
Kylie and Jason share daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, and Finn, 13 months, and Kylie shared that Bennett is already loving school.
“The first day was great… for Bennie,” she deadpanned. “She got out of the car and I s--t you not. I said, ‘Bye, Bennie. I love you.' And she went, ‘Love you.' She didn't turn around. She didn't turn around! She didn't even turn around.”

By day two, Kylie said that Bennie shared, “I love to school. I love go to school. I'm really excited.”
But while Bennie is excited for this new adventure, Kylie is still getting used to the adjustment.

“I talked about it the entire day,” Kylie said of her daughter's abrupt goodbye. “Guys, she was there for three hours. I talked about it relentlessly the whole three hours. I told everyone that would listen that she didn't turn around.”

And while Kylie said she was “glad” to be the one who was “not okay” between the two of them, she added that it was a “one out of 10 rating on that experience for me.”
“I'm so excited for her and so excited for her to be in school and enjoying herself and with, like, the best teachers and it still hurts my soul,” Kylie admitted. “So you can bet your bottom dollar when they get out of school for summer. I'm locking in.”
But despite missing her eldest three kids, Kylie said that there's one member of the family who is enjoying herself — her youngest daughter, Finn.

“Finn's having the time of her life, the fact that she gets to walk around and just f--k s--t up, she's having a blast,” Kylie said. “No one's taking her remote, aka her phone. She's having uninterrupted phone calls, which is very important for Finn. She gets to pound on the piano toy that she has, and nobody takes away from her, which is very exciting. She gets to read whatever book she picks, and she doesn't have to wait for her turn to come up.”
