While retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, anxiously await the arrival of baby No. 4, the soon-to-be parents of four daughters shared some heartbreaking news on March 22.
The “Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce” podcast host revealed that their beloved dog, Baloo, died on Saturday, just one day before Kylie’s 33rd birthday. Baloo’s death comes one year after their Irish Wolfhound, Winnie, died last March.
She posted several photos of Baloo with the couple’s daughters, Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and Bennett, 2, and wrote, “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!’
“We were lucky enough to have 7 years with the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog I’ve ever met,” Kylie continued. “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’s brother-in-law, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, reacted to the sad announcement and wrote, “😢😢.” Her mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, commented, “My heart goes out to you!!!!”
Travis was last seen enjoying a round of golf with his best friend and teammate, Patrick Mahomes at Pinehurst in North Carolina on Friday. He’s spent the bulk of the offseason recording new episodes of “New Heights” with Jason, and enjoying as much quality time as possible with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
