Galentine’s Day has come early!
As quick as Kylie Kelce is to defend pregnancies — including C-sections and epidurals — she’s just as quick to discuss the consequences of pregnancies.
(And no, we don’t mean children)
Simply put, she’s sharing her boob job plans. And she isn’t mincing words.

On the Thursday, February 12 episode of Kylie’s Not Gonna Lie podcast, she had college besties Amber and Gab join her.
During one portion of the hour-long video, she showed them a viral clip of a woman who invited friends over to see the results of her recent surgery.
Specifically, the woman had undergone (and seemingly recovered from) a boob job. And she threw a party after the fact.
Facing away from the camera, she opened her shirt to show off the results to her friends — to their delight.
“Really, my plan is we’re gonna end up doing this,” Kylie declared to her friends.
When one friend declares that she’s “in” for attending the party, Kylie replies: “I already know that.”
She continued: “To be clear, there is a rough plan.”
The plan is “that eventually I will put my boobs back where they belong.”
Kylie explains that she wants to get cosmetic work on her breasts “because — four kids.”
She adds: “That’s all I have to say about that!”

That wasn’t quite all that Kylie had to say about that.
She also clarified that, when she gets this eventual surgery, she won’t be throwing a party right away.
Kylie plans to not only recover but to allow her new breasts to “settle” before she invites over friends to witness the results.
And she might be in a sharing mood.
“We’ll make a TikTok,” she added. It’s unclear whether this was in jest or part of her plan.

In case you need a reminder, Kylie is a mother of four.
From 2023 through March of 2025, Kylie has given birth to Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley.
Pregnancy and beastfeeding can both alter breast tissue — even permanently, changing the size, shape, and (as Kylie suggested) the location of breasts.
That is not a personal failing and it is not necessarily unattractive — just different.
But it is more than understandable that Kylie would prefer that her breasts are restored to their pre-mother-of-four locations. Everyone deserves the body that they want.

Right now, Jason and Kylie are parents of four children.
Apparently, they have previously discussed the idea of adding a fifth child to the mix.
Even if they don’t, their family is huge — and Kylie has put her body through the wringer.
Baby #5 remains uncertain.
Right now, it’s anyone’s guess whether we’ll get a pregnancy announcement in a year or so or whether Kylie is showing off her reborn breasts to her friends.
Whatever they choose, we hope that it’s what makes Kylie the happiest.

Last month, Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter, Victoria Jones, tragically lost her life at the age of 34.
After Victoria was found unconscious at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel, first responders attempted to revive her with CPR before pronouncing her dead at the scene.
No cause of death has been revealed, but Victoria had a long history of substance abuse issues and brushes with the law.

And now, sources close to the situation are saying that more could have been done to prevent this tragedy.
“We were all terrified Victoria was headed for disaster,” one family friend tells Radar Online.
“She had a history with substances — she was brilliant one minute, and then the addiction would take over. She kept getting into trouble, and every time, her family would rescue her.”
In the months leading up to her death, Victoria ran into trouble with the law on numerous occasions.

In April, she pled not guilty to “obstructing a peace officer, using/being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of a narcotic controlled substance.”
She was arrested again in June after she allegedly slapped her husband, Napa winemaker Navek Cejas, twice in the face.
“She had charisma and brains, but drugs and anger toward her family took that away from her,” said the family friend.

While no official cause of death has been announced, one anonymous San Francisco cop who’s familiar with the case said that he believes Victoria’s death was “fentanyl-related.”
“People get all their drugs with fentanyl now,” the officer explained.
“They [drug dealers] have it on everything they measure with, [so] everything gets laced.”
Our thoughts go out to Victoria’s loved ones as they continue to try and process this tragedy.
