The NFL is reflecting on one of its most heartfelt moments in honor of Mother’s Day, revisiting the bond between Donna Kelce and her sons, Travis and Jason Kelce. From the iconic “Kelce Bowl” to their touching tributes, their story highlights the enduring impact of family in sports.
Donna Kelce made history when her two sons faced off in the 2023 Super Bowl, representing the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. Her dual-team jersey became a symbol of her unwavering support for both Travis and Jason.

The post-game embrace she shared with Jason, filled with emotion and pride, captured the essence of a mother’s unconditional love. It was a moment that resonated far beyond the football field. In interviews and podcasts, Travis and Jason frequently credit their mother for shaping their character and success.
Travis often attributes his confidence and outgoing nature to Donna’s encouragement and support, while Jason emphasizes the resilience she instilled in him. Donna’s dedication, from her 40-year banking career to managing a household with two energetic boys, has been a cornerstone of their upbringing.
