Kylie Kelce has publicly voiced her strong support for actress Kate Winslet's refreshing perspective on growing older and embracing the natural signs of aging. The discussion unfolded during the Thursday, May 23, episode of Kelce's podcast, "Not Gonna Lie."
A Viral Moment of Agreement
During the episode, Kelce played a now-viral audio clip from Winslet's recent appearance on the "Happy Place" podcast. In the clip, the Oscar-winning "Titanic" star expressed her appreciation for "having a face that moves" and the wrinkles that reflect her life experiences at 50. Winslet emphasized the importance of leading by example and being "decent women" who practice kindness towards themselves and others.
Kelce responded with enthusiastic agreement. "I love this so much," she stated, before carefully framing her own viewpoint. She made it clear she wasn't judging others' choices, insisting that "women can do whatever makes them happy because, quite honestly, it's none of my fucking business and it's not my fucking body."
Wrinkles as a Map of Life and Joy
Delving into her personal philosophy, Kelce explained that she sees a person's face as a narrative. "Your face has been telling people how you feel. It has been experiencing your life, your body, your face," she said. She singled out crow's feet as a particular point of beauty, noting they often come from a lifetime of smiling and feeling joy.
Her perspective is deeply influenced by her role as a mother to four young daughters: Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 4; Bennett, 2; and infant Finn, born on March 30. Kelce expressed a desire for her girls to grow up knowing they were made perfectly as they are. "I want them to know that they were made exactly the way they were intended to be made and that they should proceed as such," she shared, humorously clarifying that this didn't apply to things like hair highlights, which she admitted were "purchased."
Forehead Lines as Exclamation Points
Kelce gave a vivid example of how she views her own aging signs. She described the lines on her forehead when she raises her eyebrows in interest at her children's stories. "It only furthers the expression. OK? It's like an exclamation point on my expression," she explained. She joked that without the ability to show surprise, her kids wouldn't know she was truly engaged with them.
Looking to the future, she hopes her daughters will remember her authentic self. "When they get into their 30s, I want them to be like, 'You know what? Mom had wrinkles then, too.' Cuz I do. And I earned these suckers," Kelce said. The 33-year-old added, "This is how I look. And I hope that my daughters and other young women can say confidently that that is how they look."
Choice, Not Mandate
While fiercely defending personal choice—"if they want to plump their lips or freeze their forehead, power-fucking-to-em"—Kelce ended with a powerful wish. She hopes more women realize that cosmetic procedures don't have to be the new standard. Directly addressing Winslet, she concluded, "You nailed that. I love that. We should keep saying that."
