Donna made sure to add of the couple, âI hope theyâre having a good time.â
When we asked her how proud she is of Travis over his involvement with Ryan Murphyâs 10-episode drama series for FX, she replied, âOh, itâs so awesome. Just to be able to see your kids do what they absolutely love to do, and hopefully this is something he likes! I know he wanted to try [acting], so weâll see how it goes.â
The 71-year-old â who is also mom to retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce â explained that sheâs âalways toldâ both her children, âIf you do something you love to do, you will get really good at it.â

She acknowledged that itâs too soon to tell whether Travis, 34, âloves to do itâ but noted that heâs âvery coachable because he is in sports.â
In the last few years, the Kelce boys have won a combined four Super Bowls and launched an incredibly successful podcast titled âNew Heights.â
Their superstardom reached just that when Travis began dating Swift, also 34, last year.
Donna described it all as âa whirlwind,â saying everything changed when âboth teams got good enough to play each other in the Super Bowl.â

Travis and his Chiefs beat 36-year-old Jason and his Eagles 38 to 35 at Super Bowl LVII, which took place in Glendale, Ariz., in February 2023.
âItâs just been taking off,â Donna told us of her sonsâ multifaceted careers, adding, âI just canât believe whatâs happened over the last couple years.â
Though Swift did not attend Travisâ last game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, during which the former defeated the latter 22 to 17, sheâs cheered him on at several matchups since last fall â oftentimes even sitting with Donna and her husband, Ed Kelce.

For the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens earlier this month, which saw another Chiefs victory, Donna paid tribute to both Travis and Swift by donning a custom baseball cap embroidered with holly sprigs and white cosmos.
The flowers, notably, are linked to the football player and the musicianâs respective October and December birth months.
âGrotesquerieâ premieres Wednesday on FX.
