Travis Kelce’s Mom Says Athlete Is Handling Fame Well & ‘Having His Best Life Right Now’

Donna Kelce isn’t worried about her son, Travis Kelce, at all amid his skyrocketing star status.

In a new interview with Newsweek, Donna gushed over the athlete’s success. “It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that just is rising every single day, and every time I turn around I’m seeing him doing something different — whether it’s on the golf course or at a concert or whatever, he’s just having his best life right now,” she said.

She continued, “He’s always been one to be in the limelight. He loves attention. I mean it, he’s always dancing, always joking around, always having fun… he just loves life. He has a zest for life and he’s one of those individuals that wants to make sure everybody’s laughing and having a good time.”

Donna isn’t wrong. Travis has been killing the entertainment world on and off the Kansas City Chiefs’ field.  Prime Video confirmed earlier this year that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The series will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000. Additionally, he appears in Ryan Murphy’s FX and Hulu series, Grotesquerie.

Of course, he’s also often seen out with his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift. Beyond enjoying dates together and Swift cheering the tight end on at Arrowhead Stadium, Travis made his Eras Tour stage debut at the start of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” The Kansas City Chiefs star carried an exhausted Swift to the couch on set in the over-the-top final act of her Tortured Poets extravaganza.
