Jason Kelce is celebrating his title as one of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Men Alive in 2023.
The Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, took to Xu, formerly known as Twitter, to respond to ML Football’s tweet about him being a part of the annual release — which he chose to provide his own clarification.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…” he quipped in response to a tweet that also noted that Timothée Chalamet, Jamie Foxx and Usher were listed in the running.
Kelce, already a Super Bowl champion but gaining additional fame thanks to his New Heights podcast with brother Travis Kelce and his Prime Video documentary, was also asked about his new status as one of the sexiest men alive during a recent interview with Sports Radio 94WIP.
Take a peek at 6 guys from PEOPLE’s 2023 Sexiest Man Alive issue.
“Are you actually one of the sexiest men in the world in your opinion? Because PEOPLE magazine says you are,” the interviewer asked, to which he replied, “I’m not even the sexiest man in my family, let alone the sexiest man in the world. I mean, what are we talking about here?”
“The publicity around the family is also fun and everything has gone to a completely different level. But yeah, that was definitely funny to see,” he added.
He also noted that he had heard “buzz” about him competing for the title, and when he eventually found out he was in the Men of the Year section and not the cover (which went to Patrick Dempsey), his first reaction was, “Hey, not bad. Pretty nice.”

“Do you walk around the house and talk to your wife? Does that make you feel sexy?” the interviewer teased, to which Kelce laughed and replied, “Exactly.”
“My head shouldn’t have grown any more while walking around the house, that’s for sure,” he added elsewhere in the interview.
Despite his recent spotlight, Kelce told PEOPLE in his Sexiest Man Alive issue interview that he stays real as a husband to wife Kylie Kelce and a father of three. He recently welcomed his third daughter, Bennett Llewellyn, with Kylie on February 23, 2023, born a few weeks after the Kelce brothers faced each other in the Super Bowl.
“We’re just trying to have fun,” Kelce tells PEOPLE about life in the spotlight.
