Kylie Kelce shares honest take on potty training four daughters with Jason Kelce

Kylie Kelce is opening up about her hands-on approach to parenting, revealing the potty training method she and husband Jason Kelce chose to avoid — and the routine that ultimately worked better for their family.

Speaking with People about her partnership with Pull-Ups Learning Layer diapers, the 34-year-old mother of four shared that one commonly recommended method simply wasn’t suitable for their household.

“I actually had more than one person recommend the naked weekend,” Kelce said, referring to the idea of letting toddlers go without diapers for a weekend to speed up potty training.

But for Kelce, the approach quickly became a non-starter.

“That was not in the cards for us. My germophobia kicks in the idea of them maybe, I don't know, springing a leak somewhere in the house and me not knowing about it,” she explained.

“Too much to handle. That was not gonna cut it,” she added. “I know that has been very successful for other people, but also no.”

Kelce shares four daughters — Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 13 months — with Jason Kelce, and says managing potty training across multiple young children requires structure and consistency.

Instead of intensive “weekend” methods, Kelce said her family found success with a simpler system: timed reminders.

“I think the timers is the best [piece of advice],” she said, explaining that she sets reminders every 45 minutes to check in with her children during the potty training process.

“I would set it every 45 [minutes], which sounds excessive and it is,” she admitted. “We had long days of 45-minute timers.”

Kelce added that the schedule can sometimes stretch to an hour depending on fluid intake, but consistency is key.

“It works because it’s that constant check-in of just, ‘Do you think maybe we should try?’” she said. “It was this nice little suggestion instead of ‘you will.’ It was the ‘Let’s try.’”

She said the gentle approach helped her children build confidence, turning potty training into a gradual process rather than an all-or-nothing challenge.

The candid parenting insight adds another relatable moment to Kelce’s growing public presence as a podcast host and mother navigating life with a young family.
