Kylie shared several photos of Baloo with her daughters, highlighting the special role he played in their lives. The images captured his gentle nature and close bond with the family. In one, he rests his head affectionately on Kylie's shoulder during a car ride.

In another photo, Baloo stands in a sunlit yard next to one of the girls, both appearing comfortable and content — a reflection of his protective yet gentle presence within their family.

In her caption, Kylie also recalled a touching conversation with one of her daughters about Baloo's passing.

She shared, "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!'"

Reflecting on Baloo's personality, Kylie described him as a loving, easygoing dog. "We were lucky enough to have 7 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," she wrote.

Kylie concluded by acknowledging how much they already miss Baloo, finding comfort in Ellie's belief that he has joyfully reunited with their late pet Winnie. "Miss you already Bubbies," Kylie concluded her post.

This wasn't the first time the Kelce family faced the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet. In March 2024, Kylie shared on Instagram that their dog Winnie had passed away.

In her post, Kylie reflected on how her love for Irish Wolfhounds began long before Winnie entered her life. As a teenager, she became captivated by the breed, even creating a folder on her computer labeled "God's gift to earth," filled with photos she had collected online.

That fascination stayed with her over the years and eventually led her to adopt Winnie — who exceeded every expectation she had for the breed and quickly became a cherished member of their family.

Reflecting on her lifelong love for Irish Wolfhounds, she wrote about how much Winnie meant to her, "I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace. I love you, Winn. You will always be my first born child [sic]."

Later that year, the family welcomed a new puppy, Nessie. Jason introduced Nessie — a female pup — in September 2024 during an episode of the "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce.

Jason showed off Nessie, playfully describing her energetic personality. Travis jokingly referred to her as a "baby wolf" and asked if she had as "much fire" as Winnie.

Jason replied, "She's coming off real sweet right now — she is a terror... like can get up in the sink already pulling dishes out with her teeth... she's the most food-aggressive dog we've ever had in our life."

After showing Nessie to the camera, Jason put the puppy down and told Travis that she had been causing trouble around the house. He explained that Nessie had been tearing open bags of old food and rummaging through them, adding that he was going to have to put her back outside because of her mischief.

Amid these changes, Kylie also shared another personal milestone. In November 2024, she announced her pregnancy on Instagram, humorously commenting on how her daughters felt about gaining another sibling.

She wrote, "I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!"

In the accompanying photo, her three daughters were wearing matching pink sweaters that read, "big sister." Each child reacted differently — one covering her ears, one smiling, and the youngest tearfully pouting—perfectly capturing their varied feelings about becoming big sisters again.

As parents to three daughters — Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray, and Bennett Llewellyn — Kylie and Jason often speak about their family life. In a February 2025 interview with Parents, Kylie emphasized how she fosters confidence in her daughters by watching how she speaks about herself and praising their abilities.

Addressing speculation about whether they were hoping for a boy, Kylie said, "We were not trying for anything but a healthy baby. We're so excited to meet her."

In a previous podcast interview, she emphasized her confidence in raising daughters, proudly stating that their family was "four girls strong" and that she never felt the need to have a boy. She also joked about girls tending to be a little calmer than boys, bringing a lighthearted touch to her reflections on parenting.

Kylie shared how much she values the bond between her daughters, describing how they often switch between being the "best of friends" and getting into playful squabbles—something she embraces.

She reflected on her own relationship with her sister, noting how special it is to see her daughters forming that same connection.

In addition, she mentioned that her daughters are starting to show an interest in sports, participating in activities like gymnastics and ice skating. Kylie joked that her husband would love for them to take up ice hockey, a sport he enjoyed growing up.

Both Kylie and Jason often share glimpses of their family life. Jason, in particular, has also been open about his brother's personal life.

He addressed speculation about Travis’s relationship ahead of the Super Bowl, confirming in a February 4 interview with People that Taylor Swift traveled to New Orleans to support Travis as the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Eagles.

When asked who will be in town for the big game, Jason hinted that Travis' inner circle will be well-represented. "Yeah, I think everybody's coming in," he said before mentioning familiar names. "I don't want to speak for everyone, but obviously I think our whole family. I believe Trav, Taylor, and his family, and his friends," he continued.

His confirmation quickly sent social media into a frenzy. Many were eager to see Taylor in the stadium suite. "Can't wait to see who's in the box!!" one user wrote. Another echoed, "Can't wait to see who's in the suite!!"

The predictions came rolling in, with one fan speculating a possible star-studded lineup, "I think Jason, Kylie, Ed, Donna, Taylor, Andrea, Scott, Austin, Ross, Aric, Jack Antonoff and wife' Ashley Avigone, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper / not sure who else [sic]."

Speculation over Taylor's Super Bowl guest list also took an unexpected turn when some fans made it clear who they didn't want to see in her suite.

"Please no Blake," one comment read, referring to Taylor's close friend, actress Blake Lively, who has attended several Chiefs games alongside her. Another added, "Let's hope not FAKE LIVELY [sic]!!" Someone else noted, "Definitely NOT Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds [sic]."

Recent reports suggest those fans may get their wish. According to TMZ, Blake won't be joining Taylor in her luxury suite on Sunday. Sources with direct knowledge claim she's not on the guest list.

But the chatter doesn't stop there. Insiders say tensions may be brewing between the two friends. A resurfaced text allegedly sent by Blake to actor Justin Baldoni has raised eyebrows. In it, she reportedly joked that she was Khaleesi from "Game of Thrones," while her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor were her "dragons."

On the other hand, Taylor hasn't been seen with Blake for some time. With her focus on Travis and little time spent in New York recently, some are wondering — has their friendship hit a rough patch? Or is this just another case of the internet reading too much into things?

Taylor's NFL appearances have been a talking point all season, but her fans aren't staying silent. Many have come to her defense, shutting down the criticism."Why wouldn't she be? It’s her boyfriend… people hate on her for no reason. Get a life! Travis and Taylor are the cutest!" one supporter fired back.

Another questioned the backlash entirely, "Where else would she be, seriously?!" A third added, "She has every right to be there and support her man!"
