Jason Kelce Charms Fans by Comparing His Nap Style to Daughter Bennett’s—Father-Daughter Bond Melts Hearts Online

Jason Kelce, the beloved former Philadelphia Eagles center and now full-time “girl dad,” once again had the internet swooning—this time with a hilarious and heartwarming social media post featuring his 2-year-old daughter, Bennett.

On Saturday, June 7, Kelce shared a candid photo of Bennett fast asleep in her toddler bed, dressed in a sky-blue summer dress and still wearing her white sneakers. A tiny pink pacifier rested in her mouth, and a dark green blanket had been kicked to the side. As she lay flat on her back with her head tilted to one side, the image was instantly relatable—and downright adorable.

Kelce captioned the Instagram photo with his signature dry humor:
“Me after drinking Garages all afternoon.”
The joke was a nod to Garage Beer, the popular light lager brand Jason co-owns with his younger brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.

The comment section quickly lit up with love.
“It’s the body placement for me,” wrote renowned sportscaster Erin Andrews.
“Same, girl,” chimed in fellow TV personality Charissa Thompson.
Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, quietly approved the post by dropping a simple “like”—a subtle gesture that said everything without saying a word.

The lighthearted post wasn’t just another viral moment—it captured the deeply relatable bond between a father and his young daughter. Fans couldn’t get enough of it.

A Nap Like Daddy’s

Bennett’s nap pose may have unintentionally mirrored her dad’s infamous first impression. In the 2023 Kelce documentary and on multiple episodes of the family podcast New Heights, Kylie has shared the now-legendary tale of their first date—which ended in Jason passing out.

“He fell asleep 45 minutes after I got there, right at the bar,” Kylie recalled during a 2023 episode of the podcast, co-hosted by Jason and Travis. “He got too drunk. It was a mess.”

She went on to describe how Jason’s then-Eagles teammate, Beau Allen, performed what she called “one of the greatest physical feats of his life” by fireman-carrying the 6’3″, 280-pound lineman back to his apartment.

Jason, ever the self-deprecating comedian, didn’t deny it.

“I got a little too inebriated,” he admitted, “but I was still sober enough to realize that she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. It was love at first sight. I didn’t believe in that kind of thing until I met her. It was like fireworks when she walked into Buffalo Billiards.”

Fortunately, he got a second chance. Their next date went much more smoothly—and eventually led to a love story that now includes four young daughters, a wildly popular podcast, and legions of fans invested in their life off the field.

The Life of a Girl Dad

Jason and Kylie tied the knot in April 2018, and their family has grown steadily ever since. In addition to Bennett, the couple are proud parents to Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 4, and their newest addition, Finn, born in March 2025.

Parenting four kids—especially four girls—has been a transformative experience for Jason.

“Now I’m more experienced,” he told Us Weekly last month at the Amazon upfronts. “Travis and I didn’t grow up with sisters. We had no first cousins who were girls, either. So for me, this was all brand-new. I wasn’t used to the world of little girls. Now it feels totally natural.”

That growth has endeared him to fans across the country. Whether he’s coaching his daughters’ sports teams, attending dance recitals, or sharing sweet, unfiltered moments on social media, Kelce has become the poster dad for what it means to be loving, vulnerable, and hilarious—all while balancing fame and fatherhood.

Fans Can’t Get Enough

It’s no surprise that his recent post with Bennett quickly went viral. Comments from followers poured in, praising not only the cuteness of the moment but Jason’s ability to stay grounded and relatable.

“This is why we love Jason,” one fan wrote. “He’s a Hall of Fame dad just as much as he was a Hall of Fame center.”

Another commented: “This little girl is going to grow up with the best dad stories ever.”

While Travis Kelce has taken center stage in recent months with his high-profile romance with pop star Taylor Swift, Jason has quietly been winning hearts in his own way—with his commitment to family, self-deprecating humor, and the kind of dad content that makes people smile.

More Than Just Laughs

Beyond the laughs and memes, Jason’s post reminds fans of the precious little moments that define parenthood. Whether it’s a toddler napping with her shoes still on or a dad drawing connections between himself and his daughter, these glimpses into his personal life humanize a man known for pancake blocks and Pro Bowls.

He may be retired from football, but Jason Kelce continues to make headlines for all the right reasons.

And if little Bennett is any indication, the next generation of Kelces is already off to a charming, nap-filled start.
