A TGIFTH Day in the Life: The Kelce Family in Los Angeles for the Eagles and the Chiefs at the Lombardi Trophy
Donna’s two sons – Jason and Travis – are stars in the NFL, both stalwarts for their respective Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, and on Sunday, the whole Kelce family had a day to remember as the Eagles and the Chiefs both booked their tickets to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona where they will face off against each other for the Lombardi Trophy.
When they do, Donna will officially become the first mother to have two sons play against each other in the Super Bowl, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
She commemorated her sons reaching the Super Bowl by tweeting: “#HeightsHighandUCBearcatSuperBowl” – a reference to both sons attending Cleveland Heights High School and the University of Cincinnati.
Both attended Cleveland Heights High School and the University of Cincinnati, both have only played for just one team, and both have already won the Super Bowl – Travis with the Chiefs in 2019 and Jason with the Eagles in 2017.
Donna couldn’t watch her sons in the conference championship matches because of the games being played on Sunday.
Donna was in Kansas City the day before the Eagles and the Chiefs played in the Wild Card round, so she was able to see both of them.
“It’s your hopes and dreams coming true, but it’s your worst fears,” Donna told PJ Ziegler of FOX 8. Someone is going to go home a loser and nobody else is going to win.
“They’ve already got the first win under their belts, so this is just going to be pure joy,” she told The Today Show. Have a wonderful time, we are going to really enjoy this.
The person is going to go home broken hearted. They aren’t going to have the bragging rights at the Thanksgiving table, but I’m really looking forward to it.
She said the offense was the fact that she’ll root for the baby of the family, which is why she said she was going to be rooting for him. And I keep trying to tell him, ‘No, you’ve given me grandchildren,’ so we’ll leave it at that.”
