Jason Kelce knows better than to call his wife “hon” or “sweetie,” but he does have a “pet” name for Kylie!
In a guest spot on the Good Mythical Morning podcast, the couple offered hilarious insight about how the mother of three draws the line regarding terms of endearment.
"I call her Joe because when she played field hockey, she reminded me of, like, a baby kangaroo the way she was like squatted down," Jason, 37, explained as Kylie laughed. "So I called her Joey and narrowed it down to Joe."
But make no mistake, the mother of three daughters — who married Jason in 2018 after they dated for three years — has nixed other nicknames.
"Oh, 'sweetie,' he's not allowed to say ... There's certain nicknames — 'sweetie,' 'babe,' 'baby,' 'hon,' 'honey' — you can only be called those things by, like, a waitress in a diner in South Philly," Kylie, 32, joked.
As far as other controversial words, Kylie recently shared that she’s surprisingly open to some of them.

"I'm not going to stop cursing in front of my kids," Kylie said. "My kids hear the f-word on a daily basis. They know that it's a 'grown-up word.' "
Soon enough, Kylie will be embracing a new phrase, however — mother of four.
On Friday, Nov. 22, the couple announced on Instagram that they are expecting their fourth child, another daughter.
