After publicly criticising Taylor Swift for her cooking skills, Kylie Kelce is seemingly going back on her word.
For those in need of a reminder, 32-year-old Kylie is the wife of NFL star Jason Kelce, who she wed in 2018 after meeting on Tinder.
The couple share three daughters together - Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 23 months
Jason, meanwhile, is the older brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce.

Travis was first romantically linked to Grammy Award-winning musician Taylor Swift in September 2023, with the pair going on to confirm their romance in the months that followed, having remained super loved-up ever since.
Are we all caught up? Good.
So, while Taylor doesn't yet have a ring on her finger, she and Kylie are almost sisters-in-law.
However, listeners of the popular Call Her Daddy podcast were somewhat surprised earlier this month (12 Feb) to hear Kylie making some controversial comments about 35-year-old Taylor's cooking.
On the show, Kylie recalled a double-date with the singer and the Kelce brothers, for which the 'Blank Space' hit-maker had rustled up a 'home-cooked meal'.
"Technically, yes, I would say. It was at home," she recalled on the podcast. "I don’t know that I really ate the meal.
She then added: "This is going to sound terrible. I didn’t really eat the meal because I was eight weeks pregnant."
Now, however, in a new episode of her own Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce podcast, the star has attempted to clarify her comments.
"The home-cooked meals that I did not get to enjoy were not because I refused to eat them," she emphasised.
"But because the child in my womb overwhelmed me with hormones that suggested that if I consume anything other than crackers that it might be seen again if you catch my drift."
The mother-of-three added: "Anyone that has experiences pregnancy nausea knows that it's not a choice. At eight weeks, that's not a choice.
"I've known women who've lived on only waffles for their entire first trimester. There are women who can only stomach cereal or crackers or pretzels. And you know what? Sometimes that's me."
Kylie emphasised: "I didn't refuse anything. I wouldn't refuse anything, especially if I was without child."
Discussing the controversy sparked by her initial podcast appearance, she then asked listeners of her 20 Feb episode: "Why are we trying to pit women against women? Why we doing that?
"That seems dumb and counterproductive."
The star then said of Taylor: "Anyone that asks me in person, I am very forthcoming about how much I love and appreciate her and the fact that I love that you can tell how happy Travis is and that's what I care about.
"So let's not pit women against women."
