Kelces Keep Renaming Rescue Pup as Kids Push 'Freddie' and Jason Jokes 'Gunda'

Wednesday’s on-air update shows how the family turns a small home choice into podcast fodder.

Overview

  • Jason Kelce updated fans Wednesday on New Heights, introducing the German Shepherd as “Frida” while the household sticks with the nickname “Freddie,” as Travis Kelce said he likes that choice and Jason kept joking about “Gunda.”
  • The name has shifted several times since the adoption, moving from Bernadette to Matilda, with Broomhilda floated before Frida and the kids’ preferred Freddie took hold.
  • The puppy is a rescue from the Pennsylvania SPCA, reflecting the family’s decision to adopt rather than buy a dog.
  • Oldest daughter Wyatt briefly popped on camera to correct her dad with, “It’s not Gunda — it’s Freddie,” showing the children’s sway in the decision.
  • Kylie Kelce has said she plans to return to the PSPCA for a cat when the family is ready, a running subplot that drew in Taylor Swift after she introduced the Kelce kids to her cat on New Heights last summer.
