NEED TO KNOW

  • Jason Kelce revealed to PEOPLE the one condition that would make him "feel comfortable" to shave his beard completely off
  • The retired Philadelphia Eagles star discussed the topic alongside his wife, Kylie Kelce, during an interview about their new YouTube TV Super Bowl campaign, "Don’t Settle For Meh"
  • Kylie noted that she's "never met" her husband's chin in the decade they've been together

Could Jason Kelce ever be without a beard?

It's nearly impossible to picture the retired Philadelphia Eagles star, 38, with a hairless face, but Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce considered the possibility while speaking with PEOPLE exclusively about their YouTube TV Super Bowl campaign, "Don’t Settle For Meh."

But Kylie, 33, can't imagine it, admitting that she's "never actually met his chin" in the years since she met Jason in 2015.

Jason has become so synonymous with his beard that it basically has a co-starring role in the YouTube spot, which highlights why viewers shouldn't settle for a "meh" live TV experience, the way the football player would never settle for a "meh" beard on himself.

"What if your beard was just 'meh?' " Kylie asks her husband in the commercial, to which the former Eagles player offensively replies, "Too far," while shaking his head at the horrible facial hair thought.

The playful spot, which also asks viewers to think of a world with David Blaine's "meh" magic tricks and Gordon Ramsay's "meh" menus, reinforces that it isn’t worth settling for anything less than the best.

Thankfully for Jason, his "meh" beard only exists in the commercial, and in real life is going strong — which is part of the reason why he has no plans to take a razor to his face.

"I'd probably have to lose about 50 pounds for me to feel comfortable shaving it," he tells PEOPLE, when asked if he'd consider leaving the beard behind. "It hides a lot of rolls and folds that I certainly enjoy masking, so yeah, it would take some poundage loss."

"The entire time that we've been together, there has been a beard there of some kind," adds Kylie, who met her husband on Tinder over a decade ago at a bar in Philadelphia and made their relationship Instagram official on Nov. 11, 2015.

The couple's chemistry is on full display in the Super Bowl commercial, which will also air during the Olympics throughout the month of February.

"When it comes to truly laughing during the takes, there were multiple takes where Jason got me," the mom of four kids admits. "He caught me very off guard multiple times. He got my ass. I definitely was laughing at him."

For Kylie, she confirms the shoot was not a one-take wonder.

"Not for me!" she says. To which Jason adds, "It wasn't a lot, though. I've been in a lot of these shoots where it takes a long time. I think it was a very natural one that just felt fun... so it was a fun shoot all round."

But while they had fun filming the commercial, don't get your hopes up for a Kelce family TV show.

"I don't think it's been talked about because I don't think it would ever happen... or it's been shot down quickly," the Not Gonna Lie podcast host says.

"It just depends on what the show is," the New Heights podcast host adds. "I think this reality show following our family around is probably one that we have both thought about, that's probably too much."

"And we have young kids, and do you want them in front of cameras that much and how much you want them to be a part of it?" he wonders. "I think we have cameras filming us enough at this point. I don't know that we need to increase that amount."
