How many kids does Travis Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce have? Learn all there is to know about her children.
Donna Kelce is famously known as the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. She made several headlines in 2023 after it was revealed that her kids would be playing against each other in Super Bowl LVII. “My mom can’t lose,” Travis told reporters after his team advanced to the big game.
Over the years, Donna has flown across the country watching her sons play in the NFL, making the 2023 Super Bowl game one of her easier commutes. However, many people have asked whether she has any other children apart from the NFL brothers.
How many other kids does Donna Kelce have?
As it turns out, Donna Kelce has only two sons in Travis and Jason Kelce.
Jason plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, which yes, means he and Travis played against each other during the 2023 Super Bowl. But on top of being a famous football player and hosting his podcast with Travis, Jason can be found trolling his brother over his very public dating life. He would not stop telling basically anyone who asked about Travis and Taylor’s relationship status, to the point where Travis playfully called him out.
As Travis put it, “He’s obviously been having a whole lot of fun since that, and he’s still having fun, and then not even a week later telling everyone it’s 100 percent true. I mean the guy is absolutely ridiculous, can’t stay out of the fricken headlines..” Since the Kelce brothers earned Super Bowl spots, they have been opening up with fans about their family life.
During an episode of their podcast, New Heights, the brothers tried to get their mom to admit which one of her sons she was rooting for in the game. Jason claimed during the show that he has a leg up on his brother because he’s given her multiple grandkids. “You’ve said in the past to both of us that you root for me because I’ve given you grandkids,” Jason joked on the podcast, via PEOPLE.
Jason – who shares daughters Elliotte Ray, Wyatt, and Bennett Llewellyn with his wife Kylie Kelce- continued: “I’ve always known that you root for Travis. So who do you actually root for? “In this one, you have the luxury of rooting for offenses, but if in a battle to the death, me versus Travis, who are you rooting for?” Instead of giving a straight answer, Donna turned the question around on her sons and asked who they would pick if there was a “battle to the death” between her and her husband.
“Remember if you choose me, Wyatt and Elliotte grow up without a father,” Jason then quipped. While Jason has three daughters with his wife, Travis is a reported bachelor with no kids.
What has Donna Kelce recently been in the news about?
Donna Kelce has recently been in the news because of her approving the recently surfaced relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
A source recently told the Daily Mail, “Donna is a mom’s mom and only wants the best for her kids. She is enjoying all that is happening with her kids and the residual effect it has had on her life, she’s in her 70s and is just having fun seeing her kids do so well, being in commercials, and being the most beloved person in the Kelce family, especially during game days.”
That same source also said that “as the last several weeks have gone on with all that is happening with Taylor and her son, she thinks that Taylor is as lovely of a person as one could be. She wants Travis to be happy, and Taylor has been such an amazing person to Donna and they both have a genuine affection for each other. Donna speaks very highly of Taylor and has given the stamp of approval to Travis when it comes to his pick on who to date. Donna is looking forward to getting to know Taylor more and more.”
Who is Travis’ dad Ed Kelce?
Like Donna, Travis’s dad Ed also grew up in Cleveland, where he met Donna and captured her heart with THIS pickup line: “He came up to me with the illustrious, I guess, pickup line, ‘Did you say Joe?’ And I said, ‘No.’ And he said, ‘Oh I thought you said Joe.’ I said, ‘Is your name Joe?’ And he went, ‘No, it’s Ed.’”
Ed and Donna are no longer married, but they remain close friends—which they chatted about on their kids’ podcast, New Heights: Ed also explained in a documentary about the Kelce family that “If we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support.” These days, Ed lives in the Philadelphia area so he can be close to his grandkids.
