The Kelce household just got a whole lot more energetic — and a lot more pawsome. Kylie Kelce, the beloved podcast host and wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has officially added a new “girl” to their already lively family of four children. In the latest episode of her fun “FAFO” series (a cheeky extension of her popular “Not Gonna Lie” podcast), Kylie shared how she couldn’t resist bringing home an eight-week-old German Shepherd puppy from a Pennsylvania animal rescue.

It all started when Kylie visited the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Main Line Animal Rescue in Chester Springs. What began as a heartwarming feature on the important work of animal shelters quickly turned into an irresistible adoption story. Surrounded by playful kittens, massive Great Dane puppies, barn cats, and even a chatty duckling, Kylie found herself in the middle of a pen full of energetic German Shepherd puppies. One tiny, floppy-eared bundle of fluff caught her eye immediately — and the rest is history.

“I can’t help myself,” Kylie laughed on camera while holding the little pup. “Someone let me loose in a rescue and this is what happened.” She had already picked out the perfect name: Bernadette. The name choice had the shelter staff cracking up, and fans are still buzzing about it. Kylie playfully admitted that Jason might not be thrilled with her bold naming decision at first — joking that he could end up renaming the puppy once he meets her. For now, though, the newest Kelce is proudly going by Bernadette Kelce.

German Shepherds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and protective nature, making them wonderful family dogs when properly socialized. At just eight weeks old, Bernadette is still in her super-cute “potato phase,” with big paws that promise she’ll grow into a strong, playful companion for the Kelce kids. Kylie has been open in the past about their family’s love for animals, and this adoption highlights the joy of choosing rescue over buying from breeders.

The timing feels especially sweet. The Kelce family has been adjusting to life with their youngest child, and now they’re welcoming a furry sister who’s sure to bring endless zoomies, cuddles, and maybe a few chewed-up shoes. Kylie teased that she’s still dreaming of adopting a cat one day (despite Jason’s playful resistance), but for the moment, Bernadette has stolen the spotlight.

Adopting from a shelter like the PSPCA not only gives abandoned animals a second chance but also supports vital community efforts in animal care, spaying/neutering, and education. Kylie’s visit shone a light on how easy — and rewarding — it can be to open your home to a rescue pet.

Whether Bernadette keeps her fancy name or gets a fun nickname like “Bernie” from the kids, one thing is clear: the Kelce house is about to be filled with even more laughter, love, and puppy snorts. Welcome to the family, little Bernadette! The internet (and the Kelce crew) can’t wait to watch you grow up.
