Jason Kelce clarified that opposing the traditional gender roles doesn’t mean he was downplaying homemakers.

Jason Kelce has never been the one to hold out from speaking his mind.

So when he heard the controversial speech of NFL star kicker Harrison Butker, he expressed his displeasure over it and dismissed the patriarchal gender roles for women.

However, it appears the Philadelphia Eagles’ legendary center’s strong views didn’t sit well with some fans.

One fan openly called out Kelce on X for being “hypocritical” for not supporting Butker’s views, when his wife, Kylie is also a homemaker. As the comment was about his wife, Kelce didn’t let it pass but in fact, responded with a lengthy tweet by reposting the fan’s post and to everyone who questioned the nature of his marital relationship.

I don’t think of Kylie as a homemaker, I think of her as my wife. I think of her as a mother. She has an occupation, as do I, and we keep our house the best we can.

Kelce stated that the reason he is responding is because there have been a lot of people raising questions about his household setting. He claimed, he and Kylie are equals in their marriage as both provide for the family and support each other.
