Wax on, wax off.
On the latest episode of his and brother Travis Kelce’s podcast “New Heights,” the former Philadelphia Eagles player revealed he received his-ever first bikini wax after losing a bet to friend and former teammate Beau Allen.
The two athletes faced off in a three-month-long weight loss and muscle gain competition.
“The bet was you get two points for every percentage body fat lost, and you get one point for every pound of muscle gained,” Jason, 37, explained on the podcast.
In the end, Allen lost 2% body fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle, while Jason lost 3% body fat but didn’t gain any muscle, resulting in him losing the bet.
Because Allen defeated him, Jason had to wear a Speedo at last month’s Ocean Drive event, which raised money for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
“And for those of you that remember, I didn’t think that was enough,” he said about the bet. “Smart by me. So, we talked about maybe adding something else to it.”
The something else? A bikini wax.
“You did a WHAT?” Travis asked his brother, shocked.
“Thank God I did because this thing would have looked so much worse if I wasn’t waxed,” Jason said about stripping down to his Speedo. “I mean, it would have been even more gross.”
Jason went to European Wax in Philadelphia, where the team first recommended he get a Brazilian wax — which would have included the removal of hair in his butt crack, too.
“I don’t know what it is. I don’t like anything in that crease,” he quipped. “Nothing’s been in that crease other than my own hand. The crease, that’s a no-fly zone for me.”
His wife, Kylie Kelce, felt differently.
“Kylie’s response was, ‘Jason, that’s the one thing you could’ve used,’” the athlete confessed.
During the show, Travis saw a photo of his older brother at the salon, to which he responded, “Dude, this cannot see the light of day. This cannot see the light of day, dude.”
Jason defended himself, blaming the “vulnerable positioning.”
He then went into detail, sharing more about his waxing experience.
“Right away, the technician says, ‘Okay, remove everything from the waist down. I’m like, ‘Excuse me? Like, we’re just everything’s off?’… They say, ‘Now assume the butterfly position,’” he recalled.
“So I am filleted open. I’m filleted. I look like a spatchcock turkey down there on that table. Dude, it was the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt. But, no, I think I took it like a man.”
Ultimately, while the athlete said the European Wax team did “a great job” and made the appointment “as comfortable as they could,” this was likely his first and last bikini wax.
“It’s probably not a thing that I’m gonna redo,” he quipped.
