On the positive side, one fan praised Donna’s confidence, “Donna looks cute in leather pants 🙂.” Another fan shared their appreciation for her style, “Donna is rocking it!” And a fan even gave her outfit some serious praise, “Yes Taylor looks good, but can we have a moment for Donna Kelce? Her fit is fire!”

Donna also shared that one of the scenes in the movie shows her wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey, which her son Travis Kelce signed “Love you, Mommy!” She recounted the loving bond between her and Travis, noting that her son always calls her mommy.

Away from this recent event that caused a stir, Donna also drew fan attention when she was recognized as one of Glamour’s 2024 Women of the Year alongside Tina Knowles, Jodie Baird, and Mandy Teefey. Some people felt that Donna, wasn’t worthy of being included in the lineup.

One comment asked, “No disrespect at all, just genuine interest. How comes Kelce is featured? Who is he in comparison to the other icons? [sic]”

Another user remarked sarcastically, “So she got this…for what, exactly? Existing? She apparently never taught Travis basic household skills lol.” This comment was in reference to when Donna revealed what Travis Kelce can’t do, “He can’t clean, he can’t cook… he’s getting a little better. I think he’s getting some help.”

Other users expressed their disdain while giving more details, “Oh poor Donna. You have to rent out movie theaters/restaurants!!! Feel so sorry for you & all your privilege. Maybe you, Taylor, and your clout chasing family should’ve thought about that beforehand 🙃 [sic].”

The user was referring to Glamour’s interview where Donna was asked if she missed doing anything with her sons. The mom of two had replied that they can’t really go anywhere, noting that if they want to do something, they have to rent out a restaurant or movie theater. However, she mentioned that they occasionally manage to sneak away to places that are not widely known.

Some users didn’t believe Donna deserved to be on the same cover as Billie Eilish’s mom, Maggie, with one commenting, “Billie’s mom is an activist and uses the attention she gets for good like creating her nonprofit ‘support and feed’. She’s the reason Billie is so vocal about climate change and other issues that are important to her so I love seeing Maggie on the cover. Donna though?? not so much.”

According to Donna, she raised her sons to be “unashamedly themselves,” a quality they inherited from her. As the proud mother of Jason Kelce and Travis, she experienced the thrill of watching them face off in opposing teams during the 2022 Super Bowl.

Donna also shared insights about Travis’s personality, noting that he thrives under the spotlight. She emphasized that he has a vibrant zest for life and is the kind of person who ensures everyone around him is laughing and enjoying themselves.

She added, “He loves attention. I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun things done. He just loves life.”

In addition to being a supportive mom, she has her own pursuits. She made her onscreen debut in the Hallmark Channel movie, “Christmas on Call,” which was released in November 2024.

She spoke about her experience shooting the film, particularly highlighting the challenges of filming in winter clothes during the sweltering summer heat.

Donna, a former commercial banker, who was also her family’s breadwinner, reflected on the progress she and her children have made. She believes it’s vital for kids to understand that a woman can pursue her dreams. Having spent a long time standing still, she feels a sense of fulfillment in finally making her own moves.
