Jason Kelce Offers Up NSFW Explanation for Why Men Have Beards

Jason Kelce might need a review on punnett squares.

In a recent conversation with brother Travis Kelce—during which the two were fielding relationship questions from listeners of their podcast—Jason had a surprisingly scientific response to one woman asking how to tell her husband she prefers him with a beard as opposed to cleanshaven.

“That’s a tough one,” he mused during the Nov. 14 episode of their New Heights podcast. “Because what you’re really saying is you don’t like the way your husband’s face looks. How do you tell somebody you like their face better when half of it can’t be seen?”

And yet, the former Philadelphia Eagles player had a whole hypothesis at the ready.

“I would approach it like this: most men have beards, evolutionarily speaking, the reason that would be is most men with beards would have fornicated with women in the past and women have found that attractive in the past,” Jason added. “Otherwise, the men without beards would have been the ones fornicating and they would have been the ones spreading their genetics.”

In response to what could only have been a look of amusement on his brother’s face, the ESPN analyst continued, “I think this is how evolution works Travis. Evolutionarily speaking, women are just attracted to beards. I think it’s a scientific fact. And if it’s not a scientific fact, it’s evolutionarily proven that men with beards have produced at a higher level. Hence why there’s more men with beards across the globe.”

But while the 37-year-old was convinced of his logic, Travis couldn’t help but laugh, “This is ridiculous.”

Jason, however, was not to be deterred, doubling down on his advice to the caller.

“There’s just something very innate inside you,” he continued, “that when you see your husband with a beard, you don’t know why, but it’s something that you really like in him. And when he shaves his face, he looks like a younger version of himself and you just like when he looks older and distinguished.”

Travis, meanwhile, offered up what he categorized as some “tough love” advice.

“If you got a f--king butt ugly husband,” the Kansas City Chiefs player began, to the sound of laughter from his brother, “and he looks better with a beard you tell him that. Don’t just let him walk around here with that butt ugly face. Don’t let him f--king do that to you, to your family.”

The new advice comes after Jason earned himself a foul at home with his NSFW advice about reigniting things in the bedroom. After Jason—who shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 12 months, with wife Kylie Kelce—recommended things as setting the mood early because “women, they’re weird, they don’t just always want to have sex,” Kylie had some advice of her own.

“If I had to guess based on my husband’s dumbass response to this question,” she said in a Nov. 1 TikTok stitching the New Heights podcast moment. “I would say that he’s probably going to experience a spell of his wife saying she’s not interested.” 

She added in her caption, “By now @New Heights 92%ers should know to take Jason’s advice with a grain of salt.”

The "California Gurls" singer revealed how she thanks partner Orlando Bloom for doing the dishes—and it's not what you'd expect.

"If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all," Katy told Alex Cooper on a September 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, "and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d--k sucked."

 

Chelsea is not shy when it comes to sharing her NSFW confessions with the world. In fact, the comedian made headlines when she said a threesome with their masseuse led to her 2010 breakup with Ted Harbert. 

But after she received a disappointed text from her ex-boyfriend, she had to set the record straight. 

"I really want to clarify," Chelsea said on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023. "I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended."

"We did have a lot of threesomes‚ and that, while that's private it's already out there," she continued, "so I'm gonna double down on that and just say that we didn't break up because I left him for the masseuse. That didn't happen."

The America's Got Talent judge has something NSFW behind her closet doors—and she calls it her "sex closet."

"It's a big closet. But, there's outfits in here and things, you know," she said on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show podcast in September 2024. "You can have a lot of things. You can have wigs, you can have outfits, shoes, boots."

She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space. 

"She found my sex closet," Heidi said on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast in January 2024. "She fully knew what it was. But, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, 'Oh my God.'"

John shared a behind-the-scenes look into what filming a sex scene is really like.

"There is nothing intimate about it," he said on an episode of Club Shay Shay in August 2024. "Nothing. So, like, it's really embarrassing."

And looking back to his role in 2015's Trainwreck, he was not prepared for the kind of scenes he would be filming with costar Amy Schumer.

"Amy is an angel," he continued. "She made the environment so comfortable, and then when I got the part, eventually they were like, 'Yeah, it's a sex scene and we want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex, and all those lines you had? We're probably not going to use them, we're just going to do this stunt sex scene.'"

Despite describing herself as a "very sexual person," Shailene has shared she has some serious "beef" with porn, naming it the "junk food" of pleasure. 

"The way that sex is presented on the surface in this country is so fabricated," she said on the She MD podcast in September 2024, "and it’s such a performance instead of true intimacy, vulnerability and connection."

"Pleasure is so important, and we just rip each other off of it because I think we don't necessarily even know what’s possible," she continued. "And that’s my big beef with porn is I'm like, 'You’re selling everybody McDonald’s when you could have like, whoa.'"

After spending four years with partner Kurt Russell, Goldie revealed her biggest secret for a successful, long term relationship—Good sex. 

“You have to have good sex,” she told E! News in September 2024. “Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it's not just because of the act, it's because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates.”

Ice-T revealed the secret to his and Coco Austin's decades-long marriage—and yes, it involves the bedroom. 

"Jungle sex," he told E! News in January 2024. "That flame has to stay lit."

"When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore," he continued, "you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."

For Demi, the bedroom is where she is most confident. 

"I feel the most confident when I'm having sex," she told the LadyGang podcast in September 2023. "'Cause you're so present that you're not thinking about what is actually like…what clouds your judgement throughout the rest of the day, or at least that's how it is for me. It's not that way for everybody."

After spending decades with husband Harry Hamlin, Lisa got candid about how aging has affected their sex lives. 

"I do think that desire levels change for a man," the actress told Cosmopolitan in January 2024. "That's just the natural evolution of life. So it's figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman. I think that it's almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality."

"We really have great sex together, and we always have," she continued. "It's just that maybe it doesn't happen quite as often as it did when you're in your 30s and in your 20s, I would say. And I think that's normal."

Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word to talk about sex around their kids. 

"We 'play Legos naked,'" Marco revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2024, Zoe chiming in to clarify that the term means "sexy time."

But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo. 

"They were like, 'Are you guys kissing? Are you guys gonna go play naked with your Legos?'" Zoe recounted. "And we're like, 'No, we're not going to do that.'"
