Kylie Kelce Mourns Devastating Family Loss: ‘I Lost Part of My Soul Today'

Kylie Kelce

Kylie Kelce grieved the death of her 'first born child' in a heartbreaking tribute shared online.

During the late-night hours on Thursday, March 14, Kylie revealed that her beloved dog, an Irish Wolfhound named Winnie, passed away in a statement she published on Instagram.

"When I was in high school I had a folder on my desktop labeled 'Gods gift to earth,'" the 31-year-old began in the tear-jerking caption of her post. "It was images of Irish [Wolfhounds] that I had collected from Google."

"I had fallen in love with the breed when I was a young and never let my fascination with them fade. It all [led] me to Winnie and holy s--t did she live up to the hype. She was everything I had hoped for in a wolfie and more," Kylie wrote.

"I lost part of my soul today, but I know she is at peace," the mom of three concluded, "I love you, Winn. You will always be my first born child."

To complement the moving message, Kylie included a handful of her favorite photos that featured Winnie.

Several images showed the adorable pup outside, enjoying the fresh air and some sun–even if it meant lying down in the dirt. Other slides put Winnie's impact on her humans' lives on full display, as she appeared to be part of Kylie and Jason Kelce's wedding day. More images showed the family loving up and snuggling their furry four-legged best friend.

In the hours after she announced the devastating loss, friends, relatives, and, of course, fans filled the comments with loving condolences.

"???? You [gave] Winn an amazing life Ky!!" brother-in-law Travis Kelce exclaimed.

Annie Elliott, the wife of Eagles placekicker Jake Elliott, added, "We love you Winnifred ?????."

"Winnie girl. What a sweet life she lived. ?," wrote Travis' ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole.

Maybe now Jason will agree to get Kylie a cat? You know, to help her soothe the pain associated with the loss of a pet.
