A jaw-dropping photo of Jason Kelce at the beach has taken social media by storm, sparking a whirlwind of reactions and comments from fans. The retired Philadelphia Eagles center was spotted in Sea Isle City, NJ, wearing tight swim trunks that left little to the imagination, thanks to a fan named Julia Harbaugh, who shared the image on her social media.
The picture features Harbaugh and her partner posing in the sand alongside a shirtless Kelce, 36, who is seen lounging casually in a beach chair with a grin on his face and his legs spread.
What really caught fans’ attention, however, was Kelce’s noticeable bulge, which set the internet ablaze. Within minutes, social media platforms were flooded with comments admiring the former football player’s physique.
One bold fan on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “May as well call [his wife] Kylie a fence post the way he be drivin her into the ground, god damn Jason.” Another fan chimed in with a straightforward compliment, writing, “Bod of my dreams.” A third admirer couldn’t hold back, adding, “What a man.” Another user went even further, exclaiming, “That picture of Jason Kelce sitting on the beach?!? I am quite literally BARKING at my phone.”

Harbaugh, who initially shared the now-viral beach photo, has yet to respond to requests for comment from Page Six about her chance encounter with the NFL star.
Jason Kelce’s beach photo isn’t the first time he’s made waves in Sea Isle City. Earlier this summer, Jason and his wife, Kylie, made headlines after a run-in with an unruly fan. The incident occurred when they politely declined a photo request, which led to a heated argument that went viral after a video of the fan screaming at Kylie circulated online. The fan later apologized for the outburst, claiming it was out of character.
The former NFL star has remained a fixture in the spotlight even after retiring from the Eagles. In mid-September, Jason made headlines again for his energetic dance moves while hyping up the crowd before the Eagles’ game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Though fans enjoyed his impromptu performance, Jason found himself being playfully roasted by none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who teased him about his dance skills.
Kelce addressed the lighthearted jabs on his “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his younger brother, Travis Kelce. Describing the moment, Jason admitted that Mahomes’ comments hit him harder than expected, saying, “It was devastating.”
He went on to explain what led to his onstage antics, saying, “What happened is we were supposed to be on that stage to start the countdown, and I walked over too soon. I had to kill 30 minutes before the show started, and I’m just up there with these DJs, just standing there. I’m like, ‘I gotta do something.’”
Despite the playful roasting, Travis was quick to defend his brother, commending him for bringing energy to the stage and admitting he would keep the memory in his pocket for a “cloudy day.” Travis also couldn’t help but compliment his brother’s outfit, a standout velour green tracksuit that Jason wore during the performance, proving once again that the Kelce brothers know how to command attention both on and off the field.
From his viral beach photo to his unforgettable dance moves, Jason Kelce continues to capture the public’s imagination, proving that even in retirement, he’s still a larger-than-life figure in the sports and entertainment world.
