You know you’re officially an adult when bedtime becomes your favorite part of the day. Gone are the days of begging for ‘just five more minutes.’ Now, we’re practically sprinting to bed the second dinner’s over. And guess what? Michelle Obama totally gets it.
In a recent Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie Kelce was all in on Michelle’s take about how elite an early bedtime truly is. The former First Lady spilled that she lives for crawling into bed, even though Barack teases her for it. “Bedtime is the best time of the day,” she admitted, adding that once the fun is over, she’s this close to hitting the sheets. “I’m just trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down,” she joked. Kylie, clearly vibing with this, straight-up asked, “What’s ideal bedtime?” Michelle’s answer? “Man, anytime after dinner.” And honestly? True.
The two then bonded over the struggle that is parenting and how clutch a solid sleep schedule can be. Michelle shared that Sasha and Malia were pretty chill sleepers, which meant she actually got a couple of hours to herself. “Bathtime, seven o’clock, bedtime, 7:30. And then I had like at least a couple of hours where nobody was asking me for anything,” she explained. Kylie, a mom of three little ones, wished she had that kind of luck. “That’s so lucky,” she said, probably dreaming of a night where her kids just go to sleep early.
Kylie also confessed she’s the type to hit up a 5:30 dinner reservation just so she can be in bed by 8:30. “Coming from someone who likes the AARP special reservation, I would love to be in bed by like 8:30,” she laughed. And Michelle? Oh, she totally understood. The convo wrapped up with Kylie doubling down on how elite bedtime is, saying, “As a morning person, I really appreciate that take because bedtime really is like, let’s get in there.” Michelle, hyping her up, simply replied, “That’s right.”
At the end of the day, these two moms proved one thing: bedtime isn’t just sleep. It’s self-care. And honestly? They’re onto something—because flopping into bed after a long day just hits differently. That’s the best thing after eating a warm meal.
Kylie Kelce says the quiet part out loud
Social media makes early motherhood look like a highlight reel—soft newborn snuggles, glowing moms, and perfectly swaddled babies. But Kylie Kelce? She’s here to set the record straight. The 32-year-old mom of three (soon to be four) just got brutally honest about the messy, exhausting. And downright terrifying parts of postpartum life. During her appearance on the Sunday Sports Club podcast, she opened up about the reality of early motherhood—one that isn’t all cuddles and happy tears.
Kylie confessed that the moment she walked out of the hospital with baby Wyatt in her arms, reality hit like a freight train—no instruction manual, no reset button, just a tiny human fully depending on her. “We left the hospital and I was like, ‘So you’re telling me this is mine?’” she shared. And those first few weeks? A total blur. “I blacked out. I don’t remember parts of it,” she said. The sleep deprivation, the constant feedings, the never-ending anxiety—it all hit her hard.
One of the biggest struggles? Feeling completely touched out. Between breastfeeding, holding the baby, and the nonstop physical demands of motherhood, Kylie found herself craving any personal space. “I remember pumping and telling my husband, ‘Don’t touch my shoulder. Don’t touch my foot. Don’t even sit too close. Just… don’t,’” she revealed. And then there was the guilt—the feeling that she should be loving every second, even when she felt completely drained.
For Kylie, the turning point was Wyatt’s first real smile. “The biggest milestone for me with Wyatt was when she could smile—on purpose,” she shared. That tiny moment of recognition finally made it feel like she was more than just a sleep-deprived caretaker. But before that? It was rough. “The comment people always say—‘The moment I met my daughter, it was game over’, I get it, but it was also terrifying,” she admitted. The pressure to feel instant, overwhelming love only made things harder, and she pointed out that social media never shows this side of motherhood.
Now, as she prepares to welcome baby #4 this month, Kylie is making it her mission to start real conversations about postpartum struggles. “The conversations we’re not having are the things we’re all experiencing—postpartum depression, baby blues, mom guilt, feeling inadequate as a woman. We all go through it, but nobody talks about it. And we should,” she said. By sharing her truth, she’s helping new moms everywhere feel a little less alone—and letting them know that it’s okay if early motherhood isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
