Taylor Swift’s Support
While Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, acclaimed singer Taylor Swift, has not yet publicly offered congratulations, she previously demonstrated her support for the pregnancy by liking Kylie’s initial announcement post. Swift and Travis Kelce have been in a relationship for nearly two years.
Pregnancy Announcement and Family Reaction
Kylie Kelce initially revealed her pregnancy in November, sharing a photo of her three elder daughters sporting ‘Big Sister’ sweaters. The caption humorously noted the varied reactions of her daughters to the news of another sibling.
- Wyatt, the eldest daughter, appeared surprised.
- Bennett, the youngest, was in tears.
- Elliotte, the middle child, was beaming with joy.
Jason and Kylie Kelce, who married in April 2018, are also parents to Wyatt (born October 2019), Elliotte (born March 2021), and Bennett (born February 2023). Bennett’s birth occurred shortly after Jason Kelce’s team lost to Travis Kelce’s team in Super Bowl LVII.
Introducing Baby Finnley
On Tuesday, Kylie Kelce posted a series of endearing images of baby Finnley with her parents, Jason and Kylie. “Whoop, there she is!” Kylie captioned the photos, introducing Finnley to the world.
One photograph captured baby Finnley wrapped in a blanket and wearing a pink hat adorned with a blue bow. Other pictures showed Kylie and Jason Kelce cradling their newborn daughter.

Name Selection Process
Kylie Kelce had previously discussed the challenges of choosing a name for her fourth daughter on her podcast, ‘Not Gonna Lie.’ She mentioned the difficulty of maintaining a ‘double T’ name theme and finding suitable gender-neutral names.
In January, she joked about the ‘disaster’ of selecting a fourth name, having seemingly exhausted gender-neutral options. She later dismissed fan suggestions like Meritt and Garrett, emphasizing the need for good nicknames and hinting at a possible unconventional choice.
Hollywood Inspiration
During a podcast episode featuring actress Kate Hudson last month, Kylie Kelce suggested potential Hollywood inspiration for baby names. She revealed considering naming her daughter after Hudson’s character, Andie Anderson, from the romantic comedy “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.” She described the film as a personal favorite and admitted “Andie” had been considered as a name.
Finnley: The Chosen Name
Ultimately, Kylie and Jason Kelce opted for Finnley, a gender-neutral name with Irish and Scottish roots, moving away from the Hollywood-inspired option. The name Finnley ‘Finn’ Anne Kelce marks a joyful addition to the Kelce family.
