Kylie Kelce Explains Why She Has 'Beef' With NBA Champion Dwayne Wade

Kylie has a history of revealing personal stories on her popular podcast, and in a recent episode, she recalled her "long-standing beef with Dwayne Wade" to her listeners. However, her story is a bit peculiar, given that the former Miami Heat star knows nothing about it.

Kylie's issue with the father of five stems from the moment she saw Wade moments before she walked down the aisle to marry her husband, Jason. According to Kylie, she and a few of her bridesmaids actually ran into Wade on an elevator, and during the ride, Wade allegedly said nothing to them.

"We were going down for the wedding. Right? I am in a wedding dress with a veil on the back of my head," Kylie said. "We have all four bridesmaids and the wedding planner, Sarah, in the elevator with us. And we just so happen to get on the elevator with Dwyane Wade."

"Here's the problem that I have with that. He didn't say a godd-mn word, which is crazy," Kylie added. "There is a bride and her bridesmaids in the f-cking elevator with you. You are in an enclosed space. And then he didn't say a word."

Kylie's podcast guest jumped into the conversation, adding that Wade might've felt a bit uncomfortable during the ride. "He was probably sitting there like, ‘Why didn't I just let the door close?'" the guest joked.

Kylie, however, refused to grant the 13x NBA All-Star any grace, stating, "That sh-t blew my mind."

Kylie Kelce Reveals One Thing About Husband Jason That Makes Her Mad

Kylie Kelce's interaction with Dwyane Wade is just one of the stories the media personality has recounted on her podcast.

During a November 2025 episode of "Not Gonna Lie," Kylie sought to prank her husband by asking the Super Bowl champion whether he ever wished he were more athletic. The question stemmed from a TikTok trend in which girlfriends ask their (clearly athletic) husbands whether they ever dreamt of having even more ability.

"Oh, gosh, not really," Jason replied. "I feel like I'm pretty athletic."

"Why? What happened?" he asked, to which Kylie responded, "Nothing happened. I just wanted to ask you that question."

"I don't know. I feel like sometimes I'm so athletic it's a burden to carry," he said. "I wish that the expectation was lower, you know what I mean?"

Jason's answer wasn't what Kylie was hoping to hear, given that she told her listeners his being exceptional at everything often bugs her.

"And he's not lying — that's the part that makes me mad. We've got to figure out how we're going to knock him down a few notches. And I mean that in a loving way. Because that's part of my job," she said.

Kylie Talks About Jason's Stripping Into A Speedo

In another episode, Kylie discussed a viral clip of Jason stripping into an American-flag Speedo during a previous NFL season, noting that his steamy gesture caused her discomfort.

"I did not like that you just [were like], 'Hey world, here's my t-int,'" Kylie told Jason, to which he replied, "Here's my Japanese Maple," referencing a small tree that only reaches three to five feet in height.

Kylie joked about the moment in a separate episode, admitting she was shocked to see her husband's moves.

"By the time I was coming back, I had received a text message of the behind angle and proceeding to Magic Mike his shorts off," she said. "I have not seen this move before. I don't know if he practiced. If he did, it was [with doors] closed."
