Donna Kelce joined her sons, NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, on their New Heights podcast for a special Mother's Day episode and didn't hold back when the topic of their dating lives came up. The 72-year-old matriarch used the opportunity to poke fun at her sons' past romances and reveal how little she actually knew about them during their college years.
When asked if there were any past girlfriends she didn't like, Donna responded candidly: "Jason, you really didn't bring a lot of ladies home," sending both sons into fits of laughter. She added, "You dated, but I didn't know any of them." Shifting to Travis, she noted, "Same with Trav, I met one or two."
"I knew nothing of anybody you guys were dating in college. You told me zero. You were too busy!" she insisted, referring to their time at the University of Cincinnati.
Jason, now a father of four, admitted his lack of success in the dating department wasn't due to a busy schedule, but rather his own awkwardness. "I had plenty of time, I just had no game and I looked like an overweight Oompa Loompa—that's why I didn't have any girlfriends," he said. "I just sucked at talking to women."
Donna, amused by the confession, remarked, "You've changed, so that's good," to which Jason quipped, "I don't know if I did."
Meanwhile, Travis's dating history has been more public in recent years. Although Donna claimed she didn't know much about his relationships back then, his romance with global superstar Taylor Swift has been under the spotlight. The pair began dating shortly after Travis joked on New Heights about trying to give Taylor a bracelet with his number during her Eras Tour. "We started hanging out right after that," Swift later confirmed to Time, adding, "We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew."
Jason, on the other hand, met his wife Kylie on Tinder. Despite a rocky first date where he got too drunk and fell asleep at the bar, she gave him another shot. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and now share four daughters—Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and their newest addition, Finnley, born in March.
