Jason Kelce, a player for the Philadelphia Eagles, has recently been named one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive. However, rather than basking in the glory of this achievement, Kelce humbly admits that his wife, Kylie, has always known his true sexiness. In an interview with Charissa Thompson on Thursday Night Football, Kelce said, “My wife tells me all the time I’m the sexiest man in the world. So I’ve been wondering what’s been taking so long for this nomination to happen.”
Representation Matters
Beyond the jokes, Kelce also commended People for their inclusivity, highlighting their portrayal of “plus size, bearded men all over.” This acknowledgment of diversity in beauty standards is a refreshing departure from the traditional notions of sexiness prevalent in mainstream media.
Kelce’s personal life has also gained attention recently with the premiere of the Amazon documentary, Kelce. The documentary takes fans behind the scenes of Jason’s life after the 2023 Super Bowl, chronicling the pivotal decision of whether to retire from the sport. Ultimately, he chose to continue competing for the Eagles for another year, alongside his brother Travis, who also plays for the team as a tight end.
Travis Kelce, Jason’s brother, also made People’s list of sexiest sports stars. The 34-year-old has had an eventful year, not only winning the Super Bowl with his team but also embarking on a public romance with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Their relationship began in early September, and since then, Taylor has been spotted at four of Travis’ NFL games.
This week, the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner at the Four Seasons Elena restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Travis traveled 14 hours to South America to watch Taylor perform her sold-out show, and the photos captured them both “beaming” during the luxurious meal. Adding to the significance of this outing, Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, joined them. Taylor and Travis have already introduced each other to their respective families, with Taylor sitting with Travis’ parents at different games.
Their dinner date in Buenos Aires was a result of Taylor having to postpone her Friday performance due to dangerous weather conditions. Prioritizing the safety of her fans and crew, the concert was rescheduled for Sunday. Taylor shared her disappointment with fans, expressing her commitment to never compromising their well-being.
Jason Kelce may have been crowned one of the Sexiest Men Alive according to People’s annual list, but he remains grounded, thankful for the support of his wife, and proud of the publication’s inclusive representation. The Kelce brothers continue to make waves both on and off the field, with Travis Kelce enjoying a flourishing romance with Taylor Swift. And while rain may have disrupted their plans in Buenos Aires, their love story continues to unfold, proving that true romance can weather any storm.
