Travis and Jason Kelce’s Mom Donna Kelce Stood “Still” in Marriage to Ed Kelce Before Divorce – E! Online

Donna Kelce is sharing some rare insight into her past marriage.

The mom of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got candid about why she chose to stay married to her ex-husband Ed Kelce for years.

“My husband and I knew that our marriage was not working, but we stayed together for the kids,” Donna explained in her Glamour Women of the Year cover story. “Ours was a very friendly relationship. So, we could do that and make sure that their life was normal as possible. But in that one respect, I did stand still for several years until I could move on on my own.”

The 71-year-old said she worked throughout the NFL stars’ adolescence to help provide for her family.

“I was a commercial banker for a bank in several different states. I wanted to get ahead. I worked really, really hard. I was a major breadwinner in the family,” she shared. “And I think it’s important for kids to see that a woman can do whatever she wants, but I did stand still, too.”
