AceShowbiz - Donna Kelce has opened up about her son Travis Kelce's high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, calling the pop star "kind" and "generous." She also expressed her support for Travis's new acting venture on Ryan Murphy's "Grotesquerie".
"He's a good guy. He really is. He's good," she said. "He's kind. He's generous. And from what I understand, so is she."
Donna, who is also the mother of retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, noted that her sons have always been encouraged to pursue their passions. "If you do something you love to do, you will get really good at it," she said.
Speaking about Travis' involvement in "Grotesquerie", Donna said she is proud of him for trying something new. "I think this is something he's kinda been doing his whole life," she said. "He loves to be in front of people. He loves to be the center of attention."
The Kelce boys have achieved remarkable success in recent years, winning a combined four Super Bowls and launching the popular podcast "New Heights". Their stardom reached new heights when Travis began dating Swift last year.
Donna described the past few years as "a whirlwind," saying everything changed when "both teams got good enough to play each other in the Super Bowl." Travis and his Chiefs defeated Jason and his Eagles at Super Bowl LVII in February 2023.
Despite not attending Travis' last game, Swift has cheered him on at several matchups, often sitting with Donna and her husband. Donna paid tribute to both Travis and Swift at the season opener by wearing a custom baseball cap adorned with holly springs and white cosmos, representing their birth months.
Donna, who is a regular at Arrowhead Stadium, cherishes the time she spends cheering on her son alongside Swift. "It's fun," she said. "It's still new."
"Grotesquerie" premieres on FX on Wednesday, September 25, with the next day's episodes available on Hulu.
