Donna Kelce, the proud mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, is stepping into the spotlight herself.
The 73-year-old recently appeared on the new season of The Traitors, bringing her candid personality and lively energy to the game.
But before even stepping foot on the show, she shared some unfiltered thoughts about who she might not want to see as fellow contestants.
Thoughts on Past Relationships
Asked about which people she wouldn’t want to cross paths with on the show, Donna didn’t hesitate.
“Maybe some of my sons’ adversaries,” she said. “That could either be on other teams, or it could be coaches, or it could be past girlfriends.”
Fans quickly interpreted this as a subtle jab at some of Travis’s former relationships.
While her oldest son Jason has been happily married to Kylie Kelce for seven years, with four daughters together, Travis’s romantic history has been more public.
Before going official with Taylor Swift in September 2023, Travis had an on-and-off relationship with influencer Kayla Nicole from 2017 to 2022.
Nicole herself has spoken about the challenges of dating Travis in the public eye.
While appearing on the reality show Special Forces, she described the split as “overwhelming” and said dealing with online trolls left her feeling constantly vulnerable, even as a confident person.
Travis also briefly dated Maya Benberry after hosting the 2016 reality dating show Catching Kelce.
Clearly, Donna is well aware of these past chapters, and her comments on The Traitors suggest she’s not shy about addressing them.
Stepping Into the Spotlight
Donna shared that her sons were her biggest cheerleaders before she joined the show.
“They’re so excited. They’re huge fans,” she said.
“I’m so excited to be here—I never thought in a million years I would get this chance.”
She reflected on the importance of embracing new experiences as her children start their own families.
“When you get to a certain part in your life, it’s so important to reinvent yourself.
Do the things you’ve always dreamt of. And that’s how I ended up in Scotland,” she said, referencing the filming location.
Life as a “Secret Traitor”
Donna didn’t stay on the show for long. Cast as a “secret traitor,” she was voted off early by contestants who suspected she was quietly plotting behind the scenes.
“Playing a traitor was tough, but I gave it my best shot,” she admitted, getting emotional.
“This has been a dream come true.”
She continued, smiling through tears: “These are happy tears that I get to do this at this point in my life. It’s just the joy of being in the game.”
Looking Ahead
Though her journey on The Traitors was short-lived, Donna Kelce has already shown that she’s ready to embrace new adventures with courage and humor.
Fans will be watching closely to see what exciting chapters she dives into next.
