Donna Kelce may be making headlines for her September 2023 hang with Taylor Swift, but she’s been mother-in-law to Kylie Kelce for years.
Donna, the mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, gained some fame when her sons' teams competed against each other in the 2023 Super Bowl. Her popularity skyrocketed seven months later when she was seen supporting the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Swift, who was in a relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis.
As for Jason, he married Kylie in 2018 after meeting on Tinder. The couple has three children together: Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. Grandma Donna adores all of them.
Donna expressed her playful favoritism when questioned about her choice between Travis' Chiefs and Jason's Philadelphia Eagles in the 2023 Super Bowl. During an interview with Today in February 2023, she wittily remarked, "I believe Jason would assume that I'll be supporting the youngest member of our family, which is Travis. However, I constantly remind him that he has given me grandchildren, and that's where my loyalty lies. It's always about my beloved grandkids."
