She shared, “When I told the girls that Baloo was going to leave us, Ellie asked where he was going. I told her that he was going to heaven and without skipping a beat she replied, “Oh! He’ll get to be with Winnie again! They’ll be so happy to see each other!’”

Reflecting on Baloo’s personality, Kylie described him as a loving, easygoing dog. “We were lucky enough to have 7 years with the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog I’ve ever met. He wanted nothing more than carbs and pets. He was a simple guy, held together by bubble gum and paper clips,” she wrote.

Kylie concluded by acknowledging how much they already miss Baloo, finding comfort in Ellie’s belief that he has joyfully reunited with their late pet Winnie. “Miss you already Bubbies,” Kylie concluded her post.

This wasn’t the first time the Kelce family faced the heartbreak of losing a beloved pet. In March 2024, Kylie shared on Instagram that their dog Winnie had passed away.

In her post, Kylie reflected on how her love for Irish Wolfhounds began long before Winnie entered her life. As a teenager, she became captivated by the breed, even creating a folder on her computer labeled “God’s gift to earth,” filled with photos she had collected online.

That fascination stayed with her over the years and eventually led her to adopt Winnie—who exceeded every expectation she had for the breed and quickly became a cherished member of their family.

Reflecting on her lifelong love for Irish Wolfhounds, she wrote about how much Winnie meant to her, “I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace. I love you, Winn. You will always be my first born child.”

Later that year, the family welcomed a new puppy, Nessie. Jason introduced Nessie—a female pup—in September 2024 during an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce.
Jason showed off Nessie, playfully describing her energetic personality. Travis jokingly referred to her as a “baby wolf” and asked if she had as “much fire” as Winnie.

Jason replied, “She’s coming off real sweet right now—she is a terror… like can get up in the sink already pulling dishes out with her teeth… she’s the most food-aggressive dog we’ve ever had in our life.”
After showing Nessie to the camera, Jason put the puppy down and told Travis that she had been causing trouble around the house. He explained that Nessie had been tearing open bags of old food and rummaging through them, adding that he was going to have to put her back outside because of her mischief.
