No. 6: He’s Family-Oriented
Like Taylor, who’s close along with her parents, particularly her mother Andrea, Travis hails from a tight-knit fam, including his parents Ed and Donna Kelce.
Donna became a beloved public figure when she became the first mother to have two sons playing against one another in a Super Bowl, when Travis faced off against his older brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce in the big game this past February.
“For all the stars to align and for them to get through highschool and college and the pros. And for them to each play in the Pro Bowl and to play in the Super Bowl, after which for this to occur,” Donna told ET at the time. “That is similar to a dream come true. I am unable to express enough how special that is for the family and it’s just crazy.”
For the big game, Donna, who was married to Ed for 25 years before they divorced, supported each of her sons by wearing a half-black, half-red Eagles and Chiefs jacket.
After the Super Bowl, which saw the Chiefs best the Eagles, Travis and Jason got emotional while reflecting on sharing the experience with Donna.
“The moment I saw mom is once I got really emotional,” Jason said on the brothers’ Recent Heights podcast. “It was so awesome…She was on top of the world for per week.”
“She was the heavyweight champ man,” Travis added. “She was on top of it, and he or she shined the whole time.”
