Daughters’ Heartwarming Reaction
Recounting the moment, Kelce stated, ‘When I told the girls that Baloo was going to leave us, Ellie inquired about his destination.’
‘I explained he was going to heaven, and without hesitation, she responded, “Oh! He’ll get to be with Winnie again! They’ll be so happy to see each other!”‘
Remembering Baloo’s Playful Spirit
Kelce reflected on their time with Baloo, ‘We were fortunate to spend seven years with the silliest, kindest, most affectionate, and patient dog I’ve ever known. He simply desired food and affection.’
‘He was uncomplicated, seemingly held together by sheer will and good fortune. The sorrow is immense, yet, as Ellie beautifully noted, the reunion of Winnie and Baloo must be truly magical. We already miss you, Bubbies.’

Baloo’s Place in the Kelce Family
Baloo, a male Irish Wolfhound, and Winnie, a female, held significant places in the Kelce household. Kelce has previously expressed considering Winnie as her firstborn ‘child’.
For devoted followers of the Kelce family, Baloo will also be remembered for his unscripted appearances on the New Heights podcast, often barking in the background or making cameo appearances on screen.

In one memorable episode, Travis Kelce’s reaction to Baloo’s size was caught on camera. Upon seeing Baloo, Travis exclaimed to his brother, ‘Goddamn, what the f*** is that?’ before laughing as Baloo climbed onto Jason’s couch.
Travis playfully added, ‘Oh nice, he just wanted to get on that nice cool leather couch. Pet him, you gotta pet him, you can’t just let him in!’
Remembering Winnie: A Year Ago
Reflecting on Winnie’s passing last March, Kelce shared: ‘In high school, I kept a folder on my computer desktop titled “Gods gift to earth.” It was filled with images of Irish Wolfhounds collected from Google.’
‘I had become enamored with the breed in my youth, a fascination that never diminished. This passion led me to Winnie, and she truly lived up to all expectations. She embodied everything I had ever hoped for in a Wolfhound, and more.’
‘A part of my soul departed today, but I find solace knowing she is at peace. I love you, Winn. You will always be my firstborn child.’
Expecting Fourth Daughter
The Kelces revealed in November that they are anticipating the arrival of their fourth child—another daughter.
