NFL stars and podcast hosts Travis and Jason Kelce marked Mother’s Day with a heartwarming episode of their New Heights podcast – featuring none other than their beloved mother, Donna Kelce.
Following a surprise appearance from Oscar-winner Ben Affleck in a recent episode, the Kelce brothers brought in the perfect guest ahead of the holiday. During the conversation, they asked Donna, 72, what mothers truly want for Mother’s Day.
“Moms just want to be around their families,” she shared.
“They want to be with their children – which doesn’t happen often when they’re older. If you can’t see them, call them. They want to hear from you.”
Donna’s wish came true. On Sunday, Travis and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, were spotted in Philadelphia celebrating the holiday with Donna and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce. It was the couple’s first public appearance together since mid-March.
Fans continued to speculate
Looking ahead, fans are speculating whether Swift and Travis will make their red carpet debut at the upcoming American Music Awards on May 26. While that remains to be seen, New Heights announced even more exciting news for fans.
In a social media post on Monday, the podcast teased the guest.
“What’s better than an in-person episode? A: An in-person episode with special guests!!! NEW EPISODE OUT WEDNESDAY!!!!”
With in-person recordings being rare due to the brothers’ busy schedules, this episode is already building buzz. Former NFL players and current analysts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth are set to join the show – just as the 2025 NFL schedule is set to be released.
Fans are thrilled by the announcement and reacted accordingly.
“I’ve never liked a photo so fast… here we go,” were the thoughts of one.
“Looking forward to this,” added another.
“Aww so awesome, I love these guests – can’t wait,” concluded another.
A cultural phenomenon
Beyond its sports focus, New Heights has evolved into a cultural phenomenon. The Kelce brothers delve into topics ranging from their favorite foods to UFOs, providing listeners with a humorous and relatable perspective on life both on and off the field.
Their engaging interviews with A-list celebrities and fellow athletes have further expanded the show’s appeal, attracting fans from various walks of life.
The podcast’s success has been further amplified by Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Their public appearances and interactions have garnered significant media attention, leading to increased visibility for New Heights and a surge in its listener base.
