Kylie Kelce is mourning the loss of another family dog. The podcast host and wife of NFL alum Jason Kelce also lost her dog Winnie in March 2024
The 32-year-old podcast host and wife of NFL alum Jason Kelce, 37, shared on Instagram that Baloo, their beloved Irish Wolfhound, has died.
In her tribute post, she revealed that their three daughters Wyatt Elizabeth, 5, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Bennett Llewellyn, 2 — put the heartbreaking news into perspective in a very touching way.
“When I told the girls that Baloo was going to leave us, Ellie asked where he was going. I told her that he was going to heaven and without skipping a beat she replied, ‘Oh! He’ll get to be with Winnie again! They’ll be so happy to see each other!’ ” Kylie Kelce recalled Ellie saying about Baloo and their other Irish Wolfhound, Winnie, who died a year ago in March 2024.
The mom, who is expecting her fourth child with Jason this summer, continued, “We were lucky enough to have seven years with the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog I’ve ever met. He wanted nothing more than carbs and pets. He was a simple guy, held together by bubble gum and paper clips. The heartbreak is immense, but as Ellie so perfectly pointed out, the Winnie-Bubba reunion had to be pure magic.”

“Miss you already Bubbies,” Kylie concluded her caption.
Kylie Kelce shared the sad update just one day before her 33rd birthday. Earlier this month, Kylie told actor Kat Dennings, a guest on the March 13 episode of Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, that she was looking to expand their family by potentially getting a kitten.
“I am in a great debate with my husband about getting a cat,” Kylie said at the time. “Our oldest daughter, just the other day, told Dad, ‘We’re going to buy a cat.’ He was like, ‘Kylie, did you tell her we’re going to buy a cat?’ I was like, ‘I swear, I did not. It wasn’t me.’ ”
Kylie admitted later in the podcast that she had, indeed, asked her daughters if they wanted to take a road trip to a local animal shelter to “rescue” a kitten.
