Donna Kelce subtly addressed a widely discussed topic about her sons’ personal lives in a trailer for The Traitors Season 4. The NFL mom made a brief but pointed comment about not wanting to see certain people from Travis and Jason Kelce’s past. This included former girlfriends, as she discussed who she would avoid sharing a castle with on the reality show.
Donna Kelce shades Travis and Jason Kelce’s ex girlfriend
In a promotional clip for Season 4 of The Traitors, Donna Kelce made a remark referencing her sons’ past relationships. When asked who she wouldn’t want to see in the Scottish castle where the show is filmed, she responded, “Maybe some of my sons’ adversaries. That could be [players] on other teams, or coaches, or past girlfriends.” The moment was part of a lighthearted segment where cast members listed celebrities they would or wouldn’t want to encounter.
Donna Kelce, 73, is the mother of NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce. She appears as a contestant on The Traitors, which premiered January 8, 2026, on Peacock. In the same clip, she shared she’d “love to see” celebrities such as Martha Stewart, Stevie Nicks, and Shaquille O’Neal, saying, “Shaq would be great.” She delivered her comments in a casual tone while responding to the show’s producers.
Jason Kelce married Kylie Kelce in April 2018. Travis Kelce got engaged to Taylor Swift in August 2025. Before his relationship with Swift, Travis dated sports reporter Kayla Nicole in an on-again, off-again relationship that began in 2022. They broke up multiple times over five years and made public comments about each other during and after their time together.
Swift has not publicly addressed Kelce’s past relationships, but fans believe she referenced his ex in her 2025 song “Opalite” from The Life of a Showgirl. The track also explores Swift’s own past failed relationships. A source told PEOPLE that Donna Kelce is “already saving little things from this time like photos, notes and flowers,” and is “very sentimental about it.” Donna divorced Ed Kelce, the father of her sons.
