‘She Yells It in Public!’: Nelly Korda Spills the Funny Nickname Mum Calls Her That Has Everyone in Stitches

Nelly Korda may be all elegance and focus on the golf course, but at home, things are a whole lot goofier—especially thanks to her hilarious mom.
In a lighthearted interview, the golf superstar revealed the nickname her mom has been calling her for years: “Nelly Belly Jellybean.” And yes—she still yells it in public.
“She doesn’t care who’s around,” Nelly laughed. “She’ll shout it across a parking lot or during tournaments. It’s the most embarrassing and the funniest thing ever.”
The family, used to the nickname, can’t help but crack up every time they hear it—especially when it slips out in the most unexpected places. “Even my coaches start laughing,” Nelly added. “It’s just so her.”
Fans have fallen in love with the sweet, silly reveal, with many saying it shows a whole new side to the usually composed athlete. One thing’s for sure—behind the titles and trophies, Nelly Korda is still very much her mom’s “Jellybean.”
