Kylie Kelce, a woman who has demonstrably proven her body can create entire human beings, recently went on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast to drop some truth bombs about postpartum bodies. Her verdict? For many moms, the changes are permanent. And, in her own words, “It sucks.”
Because sometimes, even when you’ve accomplished the biological feat of a lifetime, you’re allowed to acknowledge that the aftermath isn't always Instagram-ready. Shocking, we know.
The Rhinoceros Lip of Truth
Kylie, who's brought four children into the world (Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 5; Bennett, 3; and Finn, 1, if you’re counting tiny humans), didn't mince words about the transformation. She stressed the importance of self-acceptance, but not in a saccharine, inspirational-quote kind of way. More like a “look, this is just how it is, deal with it” way.

She also offered a pragmatic piece of advice: sometimes, you just need to adjust your wardrobe. Her belly button piercing, for instance, is no longer the perky accessory it once was. Her description? Pure poetry.
“Have you ever seen the lip of a rhinoceros?” she quipped. “That’s what the top of my belly button looks like. Would you want that to be out and about?”
This is why, she says, her bikini bottoms now ride a little higher, offering a polite veil to the rhinoceros-lip situation. Fans, unsurprisingly, loved the refreshing honesty. As one commenter put it, “That is literally the only message women need to hear.” Because sometimes, all you need is someone to say what everyone else is thinking, even if it involves a rhino.
