The photos were shared on Deux Moi’s Instagram page, resulting in a flood of comments from fans and netizens.

One said, “I genuinely LOVE a man with body hair. It's HOT AF.

Do your thing Travis some of us women like a REAL man!!”

“Still smokin hot,” a person remarked, while someone else quipped, “Taylor’s got a man with back hair, Selena’s got a man with a unibrow! Hair is in!!”

"This is a normal body. Anyone typing ‘ewww’ needs to grow up,” a comment read.

One more said, “I love a man with body hair call me crazy,” while another person wrote, "Karma is the breeze in his back hair on the weekend. Isn’t that the lyric," referencing the pop star's 2022 hit 'Karma'.

The brother noted that while they do like being involved in international games, they aren't good at tolerating heat.  "We just don't like heat," Jason said, to which Travis added, "I am wearing two shirts right now," referring to his ample body hair. 

The 35-year-old declared, "I am a furry son of a b***h," adding, "Me and heat just don't do well together." 

Travis Kelce was named ‘Big Yeti’ because of his body hair

Earlier in 2022, Jason Kelce had revealed that Travis Kelce was called “Big Yeti” because of his body hair.

The former Philadelphia Eagles player had said, “When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in the playground quite a bit. And anyone who has ever played pickup basketball, you know there's shirts and skins.”

“Shirts and skins, dog, that's the only way to separate the teams. I had the big beard, I had the long hair. I had the chest hair, back hair, arm hair, leg hair. It's just a big ole Yeti out there, man. All the homies on the court were calling me 'Big Yeti,’” Travis had added.
