Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are cherished football stars in the NFL, with their mother Donna Kelce being their number one fan. As Jason and Travis have been part of the league since 2011 and 2013, their mom caught the attention in early 2023, just before the Super Bowl, where her boys were set to compete against each other.
In February of that year, the Philadelphia Eagles, led by Jason, faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Travis. Ultimately, it was the Chiefs who emerged victorious. However, it was Donna's charming two-sided jersey and her emotional connection with her sons that truly captivated viewers.
During a February 2023 episode of their podcast "New Heights," Jason opened up about his overwhelming emotions upon seeing his mom. He tearfully described the joy he witnessed in her leading up to the game, saying, "The moment I laid eyes on mom, I was overcome with emotion. It was absolutely incredible."
Jason remembered Donna being ecstatic, causing Travis to become emotional as well.
"She radiated happiness throughout the entire event. That was the most incredible part," remarked Travis, who plays as a tight end. "Mom, you did amazing. Dad, you have been doing amazing."
