Donna Kelce has officially joined the star-studded cast of Season 4 of The Traitors, the hit Peacock reality competition series, and her family is equal parts thrilled and anxious.
In a candid moment during Thursday’s episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie Kelce opened up about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with watching her mother-in-law on reality television.
Though the Kelce family has become a household name thanks to sons Jason and Travis Kelce‘s NFL fame, it’s Donna’s turn to command the screen.
“I am not going to lie, though. Her innocence and honesty is working against her or for her. Oh if she’s a faithful, maybe it works for her,” Kylie said, noting that Donna‘s straightforward personality may either earn her trust. “Oh, we’re all on the edge of our seats. I’m excited. Come on, Donna, win it.”
Donna Kelce trades NFL stadiums for a castle full of deception
Known by fans for being the ultimate NFL mom, Donna Kelce is now facing off against a very different lineup. She’ll be competing for a $250,000 prize against well-known reality stars such as Olympian Johnny Weir, former Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti, and Real Housewives of New York City favorite Dorinda Medley.
Kylie, who has consistently praised Donna‘s warmth and authenticity, is now watching how those very traits might fare in the high-stakes world of reality TV. “Her innocence and honesty” could either win allies or make her too easy to manipulate, Kylie acknowledged. Still, she made it clear: she’s fully behind her mother-in-law.
“I’m a thousand percent rooting for her,” Kylie said. “We’re all just holding our breath.”
The Kelce brothers have also weighed in. Jason and Travis recently went viral for their enthusiastic reaction to Donna joining The Traitors, poking fun at the idea of their mom navigating a game filled with secrecy and backstabbing.
Jason joked that he couldn’t wait to see his mom “try to lie to someone’s face,” while Travis simply laughed at the absurdity, yet pride, of seeing Mama Kelce step up to the plate once again-but in a completely different arena.
Donna herself has not publicly commented on her strategy or expectations for the show, but her inclusion in Season 4 adds a wholesome yet unpredictable element. With her instantly recognizable charm and down-to-earth demeanor, fans are already calling her the sleeper favorite to win it all.
“She’s going to surprise a lot of people,” Kylie added. “I think people might underestimate her-but not for long.”
