Jason Kelce Talks Beard Care, Life After Football, and His Thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions
Jason Kelce Sets New Year’s Goals Beyond Football
Former NFL star Jason Kelce is embracing a fresh start as he transitions from a career in professional football to a focus on personal growth and family in 2026. In an exclusive interview, Kelce revealed his New Year’s resolutions, stating he aims to discover “a new kind of balance” after his retirement from the NFL in 2024.
“The possibilities are endless for what will consume the next decade of my life,” Kelce commented, highlighting his ongoing affinity for football even after stepping away from the game. Currently, he is looking to cultivate new interests, such as improving his golf skills. Recently, he promoted a golf gift set in collaboration with Ole Smoky Distillery, further reflecting his commitment to pursuing this new passion.
As the year unfolds, Kelce is also committed to enhancing his culinary abilities while focusing on healthier eating habits. He plans to cut down on processed foods and has set his sights on using tools like the Blackstone Original 36-Inch Griddle to elevate his cooking. Additionally, he shared that he is considering several practical gifts this holiday season, including a cooking griddle and an ultra-tough cooler designed for family camping outings.
While making strides toward better health, Kelce emphasized that he is not eliminating enjoyment entirely. He stated, “Dry January is out of the question, but kick-starting a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to cut out alcohol entirely.” He plans to mix Ole Smoky’s Blackberry Moonshine with club soda for a refreshing yet lighter drink option.
In terms of personal care, Kelce has partnered with Manscaped to highlight grooming essentials, acknowledging the importance of maintaining a well-kept appearance. “A great beard doesn’t just happen — it requires some upkeep and the right tools,” he asserted.
Beyond individual pursuits, Kelce underscored the significance of family in his life, stating, “I’m all about prioritizing our time together, making new memories and more dad jokes.” With four daughters and a supportive wife, Kylie, Kelce is eager to make the most of his newfound time for family activities— from bedtime stories to family outings.
In 2026, Kelce’s goals reflect a holistic approach to life post-football. While he may no longer pursue victory on the field, he is dedicated to creating a fulfilling personal and family life.
