Kylie Kelce Embraces Aging Naturally, Echoing Kate Winslet's Approach
Kelce aligns with Winslet's views on aging and stresses that women should define their own paths.
Kylie Kelce used her Not Gonna Lie podcast to share a personal take on aging that aligns with Kate Winslet's recent discussion about a face that moves and wrinkles that reflect life. On Thursday, Kelce played a viral clip of Winslet on the Happy Place podcast in which the Oscar winner said she embraces wrinkles and a living expression, in part to set an example for other women.
Kelce said she isn't here to judge others' choices; aging is a personal decision and not her business. She added that she loves Winslet's stance and believes the most powerful thing is a face that shows emotion. She cited her four daughters—Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 4; Bennett, 2; and Finn, born March 30—as part of her reason for wanting to model self-acceptance. She described her life and outlook as shaped by the idea that her face has been telling people how she feels and has been experiencing her life and body, while also noting that hair highlights are a separate cosmetic choice.
Kelce described wrinkles as exclamation points of expression, noting that crow’s feet often come from smiling and feeling joy. She said that as her kids speak, she wants to be able to show that she is truly engaged with them. She joked that if she could not raise her eyebrows, she could not be shocked at the things her children say, and she emphasized that she will continue to age in a way that reflects her life and values.
She emphasized that she wants her daughters to accept themselves as they are, not to be defined by a single standard. She reflected that aging should not be the default for every woman and that people should feel empowered to choose what makes them happy. In her view, the point is not to police others’ choices but to model a healthy relationship with one's appearance. In her words, this is how she hopes to frame aging for her children: that she looks a certain way because she has lived a life with expression, and that they should feel free to define their own paths.
Kelce’s remarks are part of a broader conversation among celebrities about aging, self-image, and empowerment. The discussion across platforms underscores a shift toward personal choice and authenticity over a singular beauty standard, with Winslet and Kelce offering a mother-to-daughter perspective that centers on self-acceptance and everyday joy. The exchange also highlights how social media and podcasts are shaping public dialogue about aging in the culture and entertainment landscape, particularly as audiences look for practical, real-world examples from public figures.
