ST.Kylie Kelce Finally Reveals Why She Begged and Pleaded Jason Kelce to Ditch His Mullet — And Why He Refused

Jason Kelce may be one of the most beloved figures in modern NFL history — but when it comes to his hair, even his wife couldn’t control him.

This week, Kylie Kelce lifted the lid on one of the most quietly chaotic chapters of her marriage, revealing the real reason she once “begged and pleaded” her husband Jason Kelce to get rid of his infamous mullet.

And in true Kelce fashion… he didn’t listen.

The One Moment Kylie Didn’t Want a Mullet

Speaking on a new episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mother of four looked back to 2019 — a year that marked a major milestone for the couple.

That October, Kylie and the former Philadelphia Eagles star welcomed their first child, daughter Wyatt.

And Kylie had one simple request.

She wanted Jason to lose the mullet before their baby’s birth — so it wouldn’t live forever in the photos marking that once-in-a-lifetime moment.

“The reason I know he had the mullet around the birth of Wyatt,” Kylie explained,
“is because I begged and pleaded for him to no longer have the mullet in the photos with our first child.”

She paused… then delivered the punchline fans expected.

“You guessed it,” she added dryly.
“There’s a mullet in the photos with our first child’s birth.”

Jason Kelce vs. Any Attempt at Control

At the time, Jason was already well-known for doing things his way — whether on the field or off it.

Despite Kylie’s heartfelt request, the hairstyle stayed.
The mullet survived labor, delivery — and history.

And according to Kylie, this wasn’t an accident.

“Full Transparency… I Almost Shaved His Head”

The mullet has long been Kylie’s least favorite era of Jason’s look — a fact she’s mentioned more than once on the podcast.

In a previous episode, she admitted just how close she came to drastic action.

“There was one haircut,” she said,
“where I came very close to shaving his head in his sleep.”

That haircut?

The mullet.

“Full transparency — it was the mullet,” she confessed.
“I swear he did it to f— with me.”

Still, even she had to admit something that pains many wives of stubborn husbands:

Jason kind of pulled it off.

From Man Buns to Fades — Kylie Has Seen It All

Kylie also reflected on Jason’s long history of fearless hair choices — including the man bun he rocked when they first started dating.

Contrary to popular belief, she says she didn’t pressure him to change his look back then either.

“He chose to cut it on his own,” she said.
“Not because of me — but because he couldn’t comfortably put his head back on the sofa.”

And yes, she admits it:

“He looked very good with a man bun.”

Still, if she had her way?

“I do love a fade,” Kylie said.
“And he looked damn good with a fade.”

Marriage, Mullets — And the Trust Tree

Today, the Kelces are parents to four children, firmly established as one of the NFL’s most adored families — blending honesty, humor and chaos in equal measure.

But one thing remains clear.

Jason Kelce’s mullet wasn’t just a haircut.
It was a statement.

And no amount of begging — not even from his very pregnant wife — was enough to stop it from becoming immortalized in family history.

Some battles… are never meant to be won.
