‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder': Jason Kelce on being named as one of PEOPLE's 2023 Sexiest Men of the Year

Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, has been named one of PEOPLE's 2023 Sexiest Men of the Year. The 36-year-old athlete, already a Super Bowl champion, took to social media and jokingly wrote, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..."


During his recent interview with SportsRadio 94WIP, Kelce was asked about his newfound status as one of the Sexiest Men Alive. To which he humbly replied, "I’m not even the sexiest man in my family, let alone the sexiest man alive. I mean what are we talking about here?"


"It’s fun, and the publicity around the family and everything has gone to a completely different level. But yeah, that was funny to see for sure," he said.

He also mentioned that he had heard "rumblings" about being in the running for the title.

While Kelce did not make the cover (which went to Patrick Dempsey), he expressed contentment, stating, "Hey, it’s not bad. Pretty nice."

When asked if he walked around his house telling his wife about his newfound title, he humorously replied, "Exactly." Kelce welcomed his third daughter, Bennett Llewellyn, with his wife Kylie on February 23, 2023, just a few weeks after the Kelce brothers faced off against each other at the Super Bowl.

In the midst of the recent spotlight, Kelce remains grounded as a husband and father of three. He emphasized, "We’re just trying to have fun."

While Patrick Dempsey was unveiled as the 2023 PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kelce and other notable figures came close to the title, including Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal and musician Lenny Kravitz.
