Donna Kelce is ready to cheer on the Chiefs!
The beloved mother of Jason and Travis Kelce helped Kansas City kick off the new NFL season at the official pregame event, World’s Largest Tailgate: Tailgate Games. The event took place on Thursday, September 4 before the Chiefs took on the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.
Donna hit the tailgate red carpet wearing a custom “Kelce” denim jacket — along with Travis’ no. 87 embroidered on the front in Chiefs yellow and red — and a black Chiefs baseball hat.
The mother of two paired her look with red sneakers and cheered up on the red carpet with a few pom poms ahead of the team’s home opener.

Donna became a household name among football fans when Jason and Travis made history as the first brothers to face off in the 2023 Super Bowl. The game was dubbed the “Kelce Bowl,” and Donna wore her iconic split jersey representing both of her sons.
This season, however, Donna will have just one son’s game after older son Jason, 36, announced his retirement from the NFL in March.
