Before Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce became NFL stars and household names, they were two lively boys growing up in a simple Cleveland Heights home.
Their mother, Donna Kelce, recalls those early days with a mixture of humor and pride.
“Jason and Travis were very active, and if we wanted any sanity in the household at all, we knew we had to keep them extremely busy,” she once said.
More importantly, Donna instilled values that went far beyond football or fame. During the QVC Women’s Summit, she emphasized her goal.
She said: “I just wanted to make sure that they treated everyone the same.”
Whether dealing with billion-dollar executives or janitors, kindness and respect were non-negotiable principles in the Kelce household.
The family itself was small and modest – just four members with no extravagant lifestyle.
“Our family has always been very small. Just the four of us,” Donna shared.
That strong foundation of humility and unity now supports one of the NFL’s most beloved families-and that legacy continues to grow.
Keeping it real: Kylie Kelce’s honest postpartum moment
Recently, Kylie Kelce returned to the “Not Gonna Lie” podcast after giving birth to her son Finn, offering fans a refreshingly candid look at life with a newborn.
During the episode, a lighthearted moment caught attention when Kylie casually pulled a diaper from her bra.
“Because sometimes you don’t want a milk stain on your shirt.”
The clip, shared by the Kelce Brothers fan page, even drew a sarcastic “Ha ha *fire emoji*” from Donna Kelce in the comments – a passing of the torch between Kelce matriarchs.
In the episode titled ‘Kylie & Avril Lavigne on Sk8er Boi Movie, Kelce Party of 6 & The Most Suspicious Child’, Kylie doesn’t sugarcoat motherhood.
“It’s not a break or a vacation,” she says, dispelling any glamorized notions of maternity leave. She humorously describes the physical toll, joking about always having one arm flexed from holding Finn and handling “contact naps.”
Kylie’s authenticity shines through, reflecting the Kelce family’s hallmark of honesty and resilience.
