In a sweet announcement shared last night, NFL star Jason Kelce revealed that he and his wife Kylie have welcomed their fourth child.
The sportsman, 37, and his media personality other-half broke the news on Instagram on Monday (1 Apr) that Kylie had given birth to a beautiful baby girl on the 30 March, and that they'd following a unique family tradition in choosing her name.
Sharing a gorgeous snap of their newborn donning a sweet pink cap with blue bow, Kylie (née McDevitt) wrote: "Whoop, there she is!"

The 33-year-old then revealed that she and Jason had named the newest addition to their family, Finnley Anne Kelce.
Kylie added that they'd nickname their baby girl 'Finn'.
Former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason - who retired in 2024 after 13 years on the field - and his wife are already parents for three daughters.

Their eldest, Wyatt, was born in October 2019, followed by her little sister, Elliot - who goes by 'Ellie' - in March 2021.
After Finn, their second-youngest, Bennett - nicknamed 'Bennie' by the family - was born in February 2023.
Eagled-eyed fans of the couple might have noticed by now that each of the monikers chosen by Jason and Kylie for their children could have been given to either boy or girl babies.
Such is also the case for 'Finnley', which - despite being given to their newest female brood member - is already recognised as a hugely popular name choice for boys born across the globe.

The couple's preference for 'gender neutral' names isn't a happy coincidence, however.
Speaking on her Not Gonna Lie podcast earlier this year, Kylie discussed her family tradition, and revealed how she and Jason were planning on deciding on a name for baby no. 4.
"Going on fourth, it’s like a disaster," she joked at the time. "You’ve already used them all up. All bets are off."

Kylie continued: "If we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they’ll be like, 'Why did they get a cute girly name?'.
She went on to admit that she and her hubby 'have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names'.
We debated Charlie for our first, and then within, I think, six months, we had three different friends who named their kid Charlie," Kylie continued.
"This was six years ago. And Jason and I were like, ‘Shoot.’ Wyatt is a Wyatt, but I love the name Charlie."

Speaking on the 23 Jan episode, she went on to explain her and Jason's process: "When you suggest a baby name, think of the nicknames that would then go along with that name.
"I know a lot of great Garys but I cannot name my daughter Garrett knowing that her nickname would be Gary."
She also confessed to having a particular love of double T names, admitting 'Merritt' was another they'd suggested but noting this would break their gender-neutral tradition.
"There’s a good chance that this child doesn’t even get two Ts," Kylie went on. "People are very invested in this but I just feel like a curveball might be fun.
"Also, we’ve run out, I think. Just prepare yourselves. If we don’t have two Ts, it’s OK and she’s still one of us."
Following the announcement of Finnley's arrival, the couple were inundated with compliments over their name choice.
"What an adorable name - congrats you guys!!" one fan gushed in the comments.
Another penned: "Congratulations! She’s beautiful and her name is perfect!!"
