Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce has once again found himself in the spotlight—this time not for his play on the field, but for his body grooming habits. During an October 30 episode of wife Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, the Super Bowl champion revealed he “half-assed” a bikini wax ahead of his viral Speedo appearance at a charity event. The couple’s candid exchange has quickly gone viral, reigniting the buzz around Kelce’s comedic public persona and his earlier Ocean Drive Speedo moment from June 2024.
Appearing on Kylie’s Not Gonna Lie podcast, Jason Kelce, 37, responded to a fan-submitted question about whether he had maintained his bikini wax after the Ocean Drive charity event for the Eagles Autism Foundation. Kylie, 33, didn’t hold back. “You half-assed it. You should’ve gotten your ass waxed,” she said, prompting laughter from Jason. He jokingly compared his “situation” to a “lot of Japanese maples,” while Kylie added it resembled “a hearty hedge of arborvitae.” Jason clarified he had not returned for any “upkeep” since the original waxing session and doesn’t plan to. “To be honest, I would feel very bad for the person who was waxing,” Kylie quipped.
Jason and Kylie Speak Out
Jason Kelce praised the professionalism of the salon that performed the original service, saying, “I felt bad for the woman waxing me the first time. She was awesome. Highly recommend the studio—they’re professional and very good at what they do.”
The humorous back-and-forth came months after Jason went viral for wearing patriotic Speedos at the Ocean Drive charity event in June, a consequence of losing a friendly fitness bet with former teammate Beau Allen. Kylie admitted she wasn’t thrilled with the public display, recalling her reaction: “I did not like that you just [were like], ‘Hey world, here’s my taint.’”
A Viral Personality Beyond Football
The discussion showcases why Jason Kelce remains one of the NFL’s most popular personalities even after retirement. His open, humorous, and self-deprecating style has kept fans engaged beyond football—whether through his New Heights podcast with brother Travis Kelce or appearances on Kylie’s show.
Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly lighthearted, with fans applauding the couple’s transparency and chemistry. Analysts note that Kelce’s ongoing visibility in media continues to boost his personal brand and post-retirement career in entertainment.
Kelce’s Media Momentum Continues
Jason and Kylie Kelce are expected to feature in additional podcast episodes exploring behind-the-scenes family life and viral moments. Meanwhile, Jason continues to co-host New Heights with Travis Kelce, offering insights into NFL culture and brotherly banter that regularly top podcast charts.
Given his natural charisma and authenticity, industry observers believe Kelce could easily transition into full-time media or broadcasting roles in the future.
