Kylie Kelce says that she has been judged for having four children.

The 34-year-old star - who has daughters Wyatt, six, Elliotte, five, Bennett, three, and Finn, 13 months, with her former NFL player husband Jason Kelce - has explained how each of her pregnancy announcements have been met with dwindling enthusiasm.

Speaking on her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie said: "As we have announced our consecutive pregnancies, I think people are less (excited) like, they're like, 'Oh, congratulations.'

"By the fourth one, people are like, 'Congrats. You know, you guys don't have to touch each other?'"

The podcaster continued: "(Some of my loved ones have said) 'Guys, could you just not? You guys could, you guys could not. You know? Every so often when you say you have four kids, people look at you like, 'Do you guys know about contraceptives?'"

Kylie and Jason, 38, have previously spoken about their desire to have a big family and she recently admitted that she is grateful that her kids aren't too far apart in terms of age.

She said of her eldest daughters: "Our oldest are 17 months apart, and it was so nice because now it feels like they're hitting stages very quickly behind each other, and it's been that way the whole time.

"And they'll learn from each other. It's so cool to have siblings that are that close in age."

However, Kylie tearfully acknowledged that there are some negative aspects to having children of similar ages.

She said on the podcast: "We're gearing up for our first - NO! - we're gearing up for our first kindergarten graduation. I'm not feeling great about it. I'm feeling pretty sad. Super casual.

"I'm gonna get over it because next year my second is gonna be in kindergarten. Guys, how do we pause time?"

Meanwhile, Kylie revealed that the pain of suffering a miscarriage in 2018 "still hurts", even though she now has a healthy brood with the former Philadelphia Eagles player.

She said: "I emphasise the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it's okay."

The podcaster told how everything "went into slow motion" when she learned during her doctor's appointment that she had miscarried.

Kylie said: "It felt like everything went into slow motion. And they could not find the baby on the doppler.

"I remember being like, 'Oh, there isn't a heartbeat. You didn't find one because there isn't one.'

"They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realise that the pregnancy was no longer viable."
