Donna Kelce showed no mercy when she called out her sons, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, for keeping their college romances under wraps. “I knew nothing of anybody that you guys were dating in college,” she said on the New Heights podcast. Jason Kelce laughed, blaming his dry dating life on having “zero game” and looking like an "overweight Oompa Loompa.” The mother of two added she only "met one or two” of Travis Kelce’s girlfriends—until Taylor Swift stole the spotlight.

Donna Kelce, however, did not mention Swift during the conversation, but a source told Page Six in February that the entire Kelce family "adores" her. They believe she truly loves Kelce, and they have never seen him this happy with a girlfriend before. The families also "blend seamlessly." Before his relationship with the 'Bad Blood' singer, Kelce was linked to Zuri Hall, Kayla Nicole, and Maya Benberry. Donna Kelce, despite her probing question, was unable to pry any details about Kelce’s recent travels with Swift.
Taylor Swift, staying low after Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs loss and her stadium boos, is reportedly enjoying downtime with him. Meanwhile, Donna Kelce tried to poke fun at their travels—only for the NFL star to swiftly ignore it.

Travis Kelce successfully kept his recent travels with Taylor Swift a secret when his mother, Donna Kelce, asked him a tricky question. On the May 7th episode of New Heights, Kelce's mother noticed that Kelce looked a bit tan and asked, "You look a little dark, Trav. Did you get a tan?" Without spilling any details, the NFL star replied that he had just been in his "cubicle." He then playfully added, "I am everywhere, mommy." Donna Kelce did not push further, and she simply acknowledged, saying she understood, adding that it seemed like they had fun.
