Kelce Loses Weight, Gains Haters, Says Star

Jason Kelce, who retired from the NFL in March 2024, has significantly slimmed down, losing 25 pounds to weigh 270 pounds as of May 2025. He shared on his "New Heights" podcast that this weight loss has a peculiar downside: decreased popularity. Kelce jokingly remarked that people liked him more when he was heavier and that as he gets skinnier, he faces more criticism.

Kelce's weight loss journey is ongoing, with a target range of 250 to 265 pounds. He expressed a desire not to lose too much more weight, citing concerns about his physical appearance and the potential for looking like a "bobblehead." His primary motivation for shedding pounds is to improve his health, with his back and knees already feeling better, and to be more adept at playing with his four young children.
