daddy, is that you

Jason Kelce’s dad bod has made its way to Gay Twitter™ & the girls are parched

By
Jason Kelce, holding a beer, sticks his body outside a window at a football stadium in Buffalo, New York. He stands shirtless, showing off his hairy chest, and bellows in excitement. He wears gray sweat pants and is surrounded by cheering Kansas City Chief fans behind him, who remain clothed.

For the first time in history, the gay community and football fans have a mutual interest: Jason Kelce.

Normally, the LGBTQ+ community typically refrains from tuning into these lil’ sports games –– unless, of course, it’s, like, the opening act for a Rihanna concert.

But the Philadelphia Eagles center suddenly found himself on the gays’ radar after passionately ripping off his shirt while cheering on his little brother (and Kansas City Chiefs tight end) Mr. Taylor Swift Travis over the weekend.

Watch.

Never mind that it was a freezing 24 degrees with winds near 11 miles per hour in Buffalo, NY.

Nor the fact that he was in the presence of his mom, wife, Cara Delevingne, and pop superstar Taylor Swift –– all of whom remained unfazed.

It was the AFC Divisional Playoff game, his brother had just scored a touchdown, and he could not contain himself!

The 36-year-old, who’s expected to be retire after this season, let his burly belly loose with no inhibition. And, of course, with a drink in his hand.

Suddenly, all of Gay Twitter X was ready for an instant replay.

Of course, football’s resident bear the seven-time Pro Bowl player’s longtime sex appeal hasn’t been a total secret.

Last year, he was even a finalist for People‘s Sexiest Man Alive. (“I’m not even the sexiest man in my family, let alone the sexiest man alive,” he joked after the news broke. “I mean, what are we talking about here?”)

Still, it’s not often that a cheering fan in the stands –– even one who’s actually another accomplished NFL player and a literal daddy –– crosses over to gay social media. Once again, the Swifties’ impact.

And it’s safe to assume Jason can appreciate love from the LGBTQ+ community, considering his brother has been outspoken about his support for out-and-proud football players.

That being said, the universal thirst for Kelce certainly recalls the exhaustive discourse around the “ideal male body type” and the on-again, off-again debate around furry chests.

As some users pointed out, it’s one thing to thirst over a beefy famous dude… and another to answer a similarly built normie’s messages on Grindr. (For the record, our DMs are open to both!)

Regardless, there’s no denying Jason’s got the bod –– and the antics –– to keep us entertained.

Fan footage captured Kelce jumping out of his suite’s window to hoist up an 8-year-old girl who made a sign for Swift. (Are we allowed to say we’re jealous?)

Plus, he shared his daughter’s hilarious reaction to his shirtless moment on social media: “Dads [sp] boobs are showing!”

Naturally, there are already a handful of fans hawking merch emblazoned with Kelce’s dad bod across the internet.

Let the record show that we’re more than happy to continue respectfully appreciating his physique, whether or not he returns to the field.

Still, the gays may have rivaled his over-the-top cheering with our reactions to this year’s Oscar nominations.

Different strokes for different folks!
