Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, revealed why she believes he’s found the perfect match in the form of pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Speaking to Page Six on Monday night at the premiere of Travis’s new FX show, ‘Grotesquerie’, she admits that the relationship between the couple has been ‘kind of interesting’ while also explaining how they’re so good together.
‘He’s a good guy. He really is. He’s good,’ she told the outlet.
‘He’s kind. He’s generous. And from what I understand, so is she.’
Taylor and Travis have been all the talk of the NFL ever since the singer turned up to a Chiefs-Bears game exactly one year ago today.

Kelce and Swift have been a public couple for a year now – ever since Swift showed up for a Chicago Bears-Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24, 2023
The ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ singer first appeared at an Arrowhead Stadium luxury box on September 24, 2023 alongside Donna.
Since that game, she’s made a number of appearances to watch her man – including throughout the Chiefs’ playoff run to the Super Bowl.
She even watched on for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas and was seen on the field kissing Travis after the confetti had dropped.
‘I hope they’re having a good time,’ Donna Kelce told Page Six about the relationship.
Travis has been able to leverage his fame into newfound opportunities – including acting, such as in the 10-episode horror-drama on FX.
‘Oh, it’s so awesome. Just to be able to see your kids do what they absolutely love to do, and hopefully this is something he likes! I know he wanted to try [acting], so we’ll see how it goes,’ Donna Kelce said.
She later added: ‘I just can’t believe what’s happened over the last couple years.’
Kelce has been succeeding off the field, but after a preseason full of hard work, it’s yet to materialize in results in the regular season.

Through the first three games of the season, Kelce has only hauled in eight of his 12 targets for 69 total yards.
Compare the numbers from the first three games of this season to the first three games of last season: where Kelce caught 12 of 17 targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns – all despite missing the first game of the campaign due to injury.
Travis will hope to get back on the right track with a road trip to Los Angeles to take on the division rival Chargers.
FX’s Grotesquerie will premiere on Disney+ on September 26th in the UK.
