Travis and Jason Kelce’s sad family history revealed amid Taylor Swift romance and Super Bowl win
While Travis and his famous brother Jason Kelce appear to be lucky in love – the latter is happily married to Kylie McDevitt – their parents couldn’t make their marriage work.
Travis, 34, is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, which just emerged victorious at the Super Bowl, while Jason, 36, is a football center for the Philadelphia Eagles and their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, ended their 25-year marriage shortly after their sons’ college graduations.
Earlier this year, when the brothers went head-to-head at the Super Bowl earlier this year, Donna opened up on her son’s hit podcast, New Heights, and spoke of her relationship with their dad after Jason asked her: “Why do you hate him?”
I don’t hate him. We’re still friends,” Donna told her son with surprise. “We’re friends to this day. We get along great… It’s just sometimes people, they move apart, that’s all.”
While Donna and Ed’s divorce was challenging for the whole family, she looks back on their marriage fondly.
Asked by Jason if she “regrets marrying” their dad, Donna said: “No. No never, because I got you two!”
Explaining the family dynamic when Jason and Travis were kids, Donna said: “We were like a tag team with you two. We got to do all sorts of fun things. When one of you had to go out of town, the other person would help with the other child. It was perfect.”
