The 33-year-old mom welcomed listeners back to season 2 of her Not Gonna Lie podcast on January 15 with a candid confession: the so-called “swag gap” in her marriage has officially flipped. Early in their decade-plus relationship, Jason’s uniform of multipack V-necks did the trick.
> “That was Jason’s MO. He would just wear the exact same shirt in a different color,” Kylie recalled. “It hugged the biceps… it looked good.”
Since retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles and joining ESPN, the 36-year-old analyst has traded cotton tees for tailored suits. Kylie says the change carries benefits that extend well beyond the wardrobe.
> “Don’t ever ask yourself why we have four kids. Turn on ESPN on Monday night. I said what I needed to say,” she quipped during the episode.
From Sidelines to Suit Style
Jason’s new dress code began when he signed on for Monday Night Countdown. Kylie noticed the difference immediately and now counts herself among the fans of his polished look.
- Before: Identical V-neck T-shirts in rotation
- After: Fitted suits on a “very regular basis”
- Result: Kylie jokes it’s “self-explanatory” how the couple added daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 9 months
Still, Kylie keeps her husband humble. She reminded listeners that fashion “swag” hasn’t improved his dance moves.
> “We’ve seen him dance, guys… I don’t even need you to see me dance to know that’s a low bar,” she laughed.
Date-Night Plans and Contraception Jokes
Later in the segment, Kylie shared her 2026 resolution: more kid-free getaways with Jason. She quickly added a punch line about the last such trip, which preceded baby Finn.
> “You know what else is in? Contraception,” she deadpanned.
The couple, married since April 2018, continues to balance parenting four young children while carving out couple time. Kylie says the goal is simple-keep the spark alive without adding a fifth crib.
