Kylie Kelce is getting real about self love.
The podcast host, 34, got real about shopping for bathing suits after welcoming four kids with her husband, Jason Kelce, and explained why she won't be wearing a "string bikini" in the near future.
"Personally after having four children, I can honestly say I don't think I'm going to wear a bikini again," Kylie said while in conversation with guest Ilona Maher during a special Disneyland Paris episode of Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce released on Thursday, July 2.

Kylie — who shares daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 14 months, with the retired Philadelphia Eagles star — then discussed with the Olympic rugby medalist, 29, the styles of swimsuits that she feels the most comfortable and confident in postpartum.
"I may wear a high-waisted bikini, but under no circumstance am I popping on a string bikini and that's my business because that's what feels comfortable for my body," she said on the show.

Maher, too, agreed that full-coverage bathing suits are "beautiful," while Kylie compared the "stunning" style to Baywatch, the iconic 1990s television hit that followed the professional and personal lives of lifeguards on duty throughout the beaches of Los Angeles.
"There's something very Baywatch about a full suit, and Baywatch was the epitome of sexy, beach... like lean in," she said of the swimsuit style made popular on the beach-based show, which is now enjoying a major comeback with Fox's reboot currently in production.

The Olympian rugby star then asked the podcast host if she's doing a "full butt coverage suit" or a "high-waisted leg" cut instead.

"It depends," the mom of four replied. "Right now I do low. When I worked out more... we're doing a little squat action. We're getting the tush back up to where she previously was," she said while comparing her figure to her field hockey days.
The pair then discussed their approaches to beach days. In comparison to those who may like to lay down and tan in skimpy swimsuits, the athletic duo made clear that they like to get up and move around for a fun-filled day by the water.
"I wanna jump in the waves, I want to play games... I want to play mermaids," Kylie told Maher. "So if I'm supposed to dive into a wave like [Princess] Ariel, then I'm going to need something that's definitely not flying off... so that needs to be taken into consideration."

This isn't the first time Kylie has opened up about her postpartum body on her podcast. During a June episode, she shared further thoughts on putting on a bikini now compared to her teenage years.
"I need tummy control. You know what I mean?" she said. "I need something that covers my belly button because... Here's the true confession... I had my belly button pierced and it stretched out with the rest of my belly while I was making human beings and then it never went back."
She admitted, "It is truly something that bothers me so much."
Despite the mental challenges she sometimes grapples with when it comes to her body, she's working on reframing her thoughts for a more positive mindset.
"I have made it a point to say to myself that my body has made four human beings, and you have to give yourself grace," she said on the show. "You must. That being said, it's okay to mature in your bathing suit choices if that's what makes you feel comfortable."
