When a listener wrote that Kylie Kelce would never pull off her phone and social media plan for her kids, she took it as a challenge. Speaking with actress Kathryn Hahn on the Not Gonna Lie podcast, Jason Kelce's wife said phones stay in the kitchen and her four children get no social media until they turn 16. She admits the plan wobbles some days. She and Jason, she says, stand together on it.

Kylie Kelce on the kitchen phone rule and the doubters

The comment she answered read: "Kylie will never be able to make this phone and social media plan." Kylie had first shared the idea in a chat with Joanna Gaines, so a few fans were clearly keeping score.

"Some days we win the battle and some days we lose," Kylie Kelce said on the Not Gonna Lie podcast. "But what I will tell you is that my husband and I are very much on the same page that our kids do not necessarily need this unrestricted access to any and all information, all reaches of the world, all reaches of the internet. The internet is dark and disgusting, okay? There are little corners. It's gross. … And I don't want to expose my kids to that freely.

"And yes, they will find other ways to figure that out, and their friends will talk about stuff that they haven't seen themselves. And that's the nature of growing up. But at the end of the day, in our house, this will be a rule."

Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finn all fall under the kitchen rule, which means no phones in bedrooms. Anyone who has tried to pry a device away from a teenager at midnight will see why a shared room appeals to her. And since she already expects friends to fill in some gaps, she is not chasing a perfect result, only a firm starting point.

Why Kylie Kelce shares fewer photos of her children

Screen time is only part of how she guards her kids. During an October episode of The Squeeze, hosted by Tay and Taylor Lautner, she said her posting habits have changed. "As life has gone on and things have changed, I post infrequently overall, and I post even less frequently," she said.

A big reason traces back to the 2023 Prime Video documentary on Jason's NFL retirement, where her daughters appeared on screen. Their involvement made sense at the time, since his retirement touched the whole family. Afterward, though, Kylie saw how far outsiders would push. "[That] was really the turning point for me to understand that people can't draw a line for themselves," Kylie said on The Squeeze. "I think that sometimes you have to very clearly draw it for them."

Other famous parents have set similar limits. Nicole Kidman has said her daughters Sunday and Faith, whom she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban, were not allowed their own phones or Instagram. Paparazzi and online strangers treat celebrity kids very differently from other children, and that gap is wider than most parents realize.

Kylie described to PEOPLE what she wants her girls to have instead. "In an effort to protect our girls, I think we will make a conscious effort to make sure they get to play and enjoy life, and really, truly lean into being kids," she told the outlet.
