Ed and Donna Kelce are the proud parents of not one, but two NFL stars
.
After a combined 22 years of playing in the NFL, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce reached a football milestone no other brotherly duo has been able to accomplish: they were the first brothers to ever square off at the Super Bowl — meaning their parents, Ed and Donna, not only attended the big game, but they were also rooting for both teams.
Super Bowl LVII saw the Philadelphia Eagles face off against the Kansas City Chiefs. Of course, football fans followed Ed and Donna’s leadup to the 2023 Super Bowl with a diligent eye. Donna, for her part, made sure to show her sons equal support when dressing for the big game. For her “#gamedayfit,” the proud mom wore a shirt that split into Eagles and Chiefs colors on each side.
Ultimately, the Chiefs ended up defeating the Eagles 38-35, making Travis the victorious brother of the aptly nicknamed “Kelce Bowl.” While Travis celebrated on the winner’s platform alongside Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, Jason was seen getting emotional after reuniting with his mom on the field after the loss.
The Kelce family’s wild ride didn’t stop after the Super Bowl, however. The rest of the year saw Jason and Travis skyrocket to new levels of fame — especially after Travis started dating Taylor Swift in September. Months later, after much speculation, Jason announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024. Through it all, Donna and Ed were right by their sons’ sides.
“It’s been really surreal and it’s been a fun ride to be on,” Donna told PEOPLE in January 2024. “Being able to be with the kids more than I have in any other year previously.”
