I love Donna. She has integrity and respect. A real lady and a great mom. 👏❤️

[@sallyp6337]

Momma Donna is a CLASS ACT all the way! She deserves everything good that comes her way after all the years of dedication she has shown her boys! ❤

[@marcyclay2475]

I love the whole Kelce family, they seem so down to earth and authentic, they like to have fun, really support and love each other. This is such a great family. Imagine if all families were like this in our country, how happy we would all be. They set a great example of what a family should really be all about.

[@kathrynmachado437]

Jason and Travis are very fortunate to have a very loving strong mother I love the fact that she goes from one game to the other. She's very dedicated to her family and she's very down-to-earth and knows what's important in life. She's an inspiration to All Families raising children and being there throughout their life

[@kariegeiger6655]

The whole Kelce family is a national treasure. From Mama Kelce and Big Ed, all the way to baby Bennett. It's so much fun getting to know them all through their interviews, documentaries and social media. Carry on Kelce clan! 😊

[@deborahmattix1495]

Momma Kelce is a classy lady and mom. I just love her❤😊

[@shannonmanning6166]

I love the unspoken interaction: "I'll tell you what I said, but I'll never talk about what TS said, because that's her decision." That tells people that you can be trusted, not just blab something to grab headlines.

[@spiritranger9202]

This was actually hilarious how she was so tight lipped about TS 😂 She had some great one liners.

[@soapqueen2008]

I think she is just trying to respect Taylor and Travis privacy

Kelce brothers are probably the first PLAYER siblings to face each other in the Super Bowl, but they are not the first siblings to play each other in the Super Bowl. We can’t forget about the Harbaugh brothers who faced each other as COACHES in the Super Bowl.

[@carolinagirl7596]

And the Mannings.

[@Somm_RJ]

[@tsbuty]

yeah! I mean they’re clearly trying to keep it private, right? right???

[@Zenigundam]

How about you stop white knighting the situation? Kelce's mom seems nice enough, but Taylor's parents have to be disappointed that she's (allegedly) dating an unsophisticated grunt.

[@cass967]

Gotta love Mama Kelce ❤

[@michellebiland5163]

Beautiful lady Donna 💖💖

[@estellesoucy4226]

Her story has me thinking about a flight I took a year or so back, where I was telling the woman next to me that I didn't have time to get food and I was starving. She offered me a Kind bar, which I gladly accepted. I am now trying to recall what the woman looked like, and now I'm drawing a blank. 😆

[@PacificViceroy]

Taylor Swift is a godsend so if you’re gonna hate on her, then you have a problem. All she did was go to the game and support Travis while seated next to Donna. Taylor even denied Fox permission to play her music during the game because she didn’t want to overshadow Travis.

[@kirstieb8025]

how do you know she denied fox?

[@Nurturing2]

Taylor is the BEST❣️

[@WJV9]

@@kirstieb8025 Do you think Fox would miss an opportunity to leverage Taylor's popularity?

I'm an October born baby. I'm a Scorpio. Born on the border between Libre and Scorpio. The scales of reasoning and logic married to the dark wild at times demonic fiery creativity of Scorpio.October 26 is my birthday. Thus I share a birthday with Mahalia Jackson. October born babies, especially us Scorpios are the greatest breed of babies in the world, in my view.We carry the dynamics of unleashed volatile creativity joined with cool reasoning and moral judgement--the libre effect that is for the reasoning side of our natures.

[@asvj]

Hey! I was born on October 27 and I am scorpio too. Are you a dude or a chick?

[@joyplachy1825]

I bet that's the hardest thing to answer, as a Mother, She wants to share her excitement or NOT of her children's lives! At least Smile for them Donna? LOL

[@juliev123]

She's very nice! :)

[@ChrisGee1371]

Momma Kelce is a Hall of Famer

[@johnfisherman2859]

For someone who doesn't like the spotlight on her she sure does seem to be doing a lot of big interviews and what not.

[@sarahsteppe8392]

Yeah but I'm sure she doesn't exactly look forward to it. It's part of the media that she has to keep up with, people are going to ask questions and speculate, like what she was talking about with TS. Rather than let them gossip, she's setting the record straight. She is at the games for her kids and to watch her kids ❤

[@maryjaneferguson9432]

If Donna doesn't want to talk to the press, she doesn't have, too. 😊

[@AirborneArmyInfantry]

Does not look like she is trying to avoid talking to the media, her mug is everywhere! Try this Donna, (it’s easy) just say NO COMMENT! There now was that so hard?

[@earljenkins8271]

How due l join 92 percent ?

[@tjc4085]

The SB is over so Dona Kelce being invited to these shows, as much as I love her and kelce bros, is clearly because of Taylor swift mainly. The media’s obsession with her is wild.

[@DrOzzy15]

She just released a partnership with Kind bars so she is out promoting them.

[@Cucumberstopickles]

Donna has endorsements alone and with her boys so I don’t think that has anything to do with Taylor. I like how respectful Donna is about her sons and Taylor’s privacy.

[@Somm_RJ]

Momma Kelce did not lose her shine after the SB. A lot of fans had grown to love her.

[@abbeymcmasters4195]

4 + 9 = 13 just saying! I got it right at the end 😂

[@juliehodge2831]

No, they are proud of their momma! They think you deserve it!

[@teresaglover6684]

She didn't do Travis any favors by saying Taylor was just okay. I was taken back cuz it did sound kind of rude. Before she said she was sweet and down-to-earth but now she's just ok.

[@Bluebooty]

She’s probably tired of fielding questions about it. Less to do with taylor and more to do with the question.

[@yvonne8786]

If she gives out to much information they'll never leave her alone. She loves her boys and wants to respect their privacy.

[@katswrldxoxo]

it’s probably inappropriate
