Jason Kelce Has Cheeky Response to Critic “Embarrassed” by His Dancing

Jason Kelce knows how to shake it—and shake it off.

The former NFL star was filmed busting out his best dance moves before the Philadelphia Eagles faced off against the Atlanta Falcons on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown broadcast Sept. 16—but not everyone was feeling Jason’s footwork. One user responded to a clip of the 36-year-old onstage, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “I would be embarrassed to be seen with a grown ass man doing this.”

But the former Eagles center—whose younger brother is Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce—took the criticism in stride, even giving wife Kylie Kelce a shoutout.

“My wife Kylie says this often,” Jason responded. “Embarrassing her is one of the great joys in my life.”

The father of three—who shares daughters Wyatt Elizabeth, 4, Elliotte Ray, 3, and Bennett Llewellyn, 18 months, with Kylie—has shown off his winning sense of humor before. During his ESPN debut Sept. 9, his co-hosts pointed out that he forgot his travel bag and was forced to wear a white dress shirt he purchased at the mall, but the athlete was quick to poke fun at himself for the error.

“It fits my belly now,” he pointed out as his co-hosts laughed at the shirt’s snug fit. “I’ve lost a little bit of weight, but my t-ts are still struggling.”

And on the New Heights podcast—which Jason co-hosts with Travis—the younger Kelce sibling noted that he and girlfriend Taylor Swift both got a kick out of the self-deprecating moment.

“Me and Taylor were watching that absolutely dying laughing at it,” Travis shared on the Sept. 11 episode of the podcast. “It was the perfect thing to open everybody up to what they were going to experience for the next 18 weeks.”

After a not-so-smooth first date, Jaso Kelce and Kylie Kelce would hit off when they went out again, with the two making their relationship Instagram official in November 2015.

After tying the knot in 2018, Kylie reflected on celebrating the wins in life alongside her now-husband.

"This off-season was my favorite yet," she wrote in a social media post that July. "It was short but oh so sweet. I am so incredibly proud to call this man my husband, and I can’t wait to watch his hard work and dedication through another season."

By October 2019, the couple expanded their family, welcoming baby Wyatt into the world.

Two years later, their second daughter Elliotte, joined her big sister.

Just one year later, Kylie shared that "another Kelce lady" would be added to the bunch with an adorable set of photos.

In February 2023, the couple welcomed their third child, with her arrival coming nearly two weeks after Jason faced off against brother Travis Kelce at the 2023 Super Bowl.

The NFL star shared a glimpse at his oldest daughters holding a huge prize in May 2023, writing on Instagram, "Never in a million years did I think I’d hold the Larry O’Brien trophy, let alone that it would be in my house!! Unbelievable honor to see it in person. The size is incredible, looks so small when NBA players are holding it, but it’s actually massive!! The girls were very interested in it."

The couple shared a look at the family of five while on the field that August, joking in a joint Instagram post, "Here for the Rita’s and obstacle courses with dad after practice."

The family rang in Wyatt's fourth birthday in October 2023 on the Philadelphia Eagles' home turf, with Kylie quipping on Instagram, "We were celebrating a 4th birthday when the Birds went 4-0."

Kylie shared this pic of her and Jason's daughters Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett on Instagram in June 2024, writing, "Parents know… 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!"

Jason and brother Travis Kelce's mom Donna Kelce commented, "The cutest beautiful bunch of 'lucky charms' under that rainbow!!!!
