Donna Kelce, mother of Jason Kelce, reflects on her marriage with Ed Kelce
Donna Kelce Says She and Taylor Swift Have the “Best Time” at Travis Kelce’s Games (Exclusive)
Donna Kelce is opening up about her past marriage.
The mother of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shared why she remained married to her ex-husband Ed Kelce for years.
“My husband and I knew that our marriage was not working, but we stayed together for the kids,” Donna explained in her Glamour Women of the Year cover story. “Ours was a very friendly relationship. So, we could do that and make sure that their life was normal as possible. But in that one respect, I did stand still for several years until I could move on on my own.”
The 71-year-old said she worked hard during the NFL stars’ adolescence to support her family.
“I was a commercial banker for a bank in several different states. I wanted to get ahead. I worked really, really hard. I was a major breadwinner in the family,” she shared. “And I think it’s important for kids to see that a woman can do whatever she wants, but I did stand still, too.”
