Donna Kelce’s Love for Sports Clashed with Her Father’s ‘Prejudice,’ Sparking a Painful Family Rift

Jason and Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna, spent the last few years making media appearances. She has shared aspects of her life as the mother of two NFL players and what it was like raising them. Recently, though, she spoke about her own childhood and her own love for sports.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Martha Stewart Podcast,” the television personality asked Donna Kelce about her own experience as a young athlete. It was then that she dove into her struggles to convince her father that she should pursue her athletic endeavors.

Jason and Travis Kelce’s mother mentioned her father’s “preconceived notion” about his daughter’s future and that it didn’t involve her playing sports. She then said that, with the help of her stepmother, she was able to pursue her love.Meet Travis Kelce's parents Donna and Ed, now in the Taylor Swift spotlight

“I you know, he was old school and felt that I’d either be you know, a mother, a nurse, a teacher,” Donna said. “He just had these preconceived notions. And thank goodness, I had a stepmother growing up, and she was very good. She was an athlete herself, and she kind of helped me.

“You know, navigate that and let me do things that my dad might not have necessarily wanted.”

Donna Kelce then went on to say that she was a track and field athlete and made her way to the Junior Olympics. Donna said that, at the time, female athletes quit playing sports when they hit high school.

“I love track. I was really good at track and high jump. I was in the Junior Olympics,” she added. “And but you know, you get to a certain point in high school and a lot of girls quit, like around thirteen fourteen, and I’m hoping that that will change, and it has really it has changed over time.”

While her own athletic career may have been cut short, she is hopeful that it will continue to change, evolve and allow for growth in female sports.

“But I was doing, I was before night, title night, so there was no point for me to do it,” Donna said. “I couldn’t go any further. So I did as much as I could. But it was intramural. It wasn’t inner school.”

Her love of sports also helped raise two sons, Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, who are both Super Bowl champions.
