"I don't like it. I think it has a serious negative connotation attached. It's this suggestion that your spouse's profession swallows you up as well. I have made a serious effort to make sure that - both Jason and I have made a serious effort -that while he was playing that it was clear that that was his job."
"I personally do not identify as a WAG. So often I think the term WAG pigeonholes women. I think there are some women, very sadly, who get sucked into that hole of thinking they should be defined by their spouse's or their significant other's role on the team."
Kylie Kelce rejects the label WAG and pushes for women connected to athletes to be identified by their own names and identities. She called the term dismissive and said it suggests a spouse's profession swallows up the partner's identity. Kylie described efforts by her and Jason to make clear that his playing was his job, not her definition. She said the WAG label pigeonholes women and can lead some to believe they should be defined by their partner's team role. Kylie presents herself as a mother of four who is shaping her own public identity beyond that label.
