Donna Kelce, mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, shares her reasoning behind staying married to her ex-husband, Ed, until their sons left home to pursue their football careers.
In a recent podcast appearance with Martha Stewart, Donna Kelce opened up about her divorce from Ed Kelce and their decision to stay together while their sons, Travis and Jason, were still living at home.
"It was after the kids were out of college," she said on Wednesday's episode of "The Martha Stewart Podcast." "Ed and I, we worked together as a team."
Donna explained that raising children on her own is extremely challenging, especially with the demanding schedules of young athletes. She and Ed decided that it was in their sons' best interests to have both parents present throughout their formative years.
Similarly, in the Prime Video documentary "Kelce," Ed echoed Donna's sentiments. He acknowledged that splitting up would have created logistical nightmares, particularly in terms of getting their sons to practices, games, and providing them with the necessary support.
Donna and Ed's unwavering commitment to their sons' well-being extended beyond their childhood. Despite their divorce, they continue to attend their sons' games and celebrate their achievements together. This includes the iconic moment during Super Bowl LVII when Donna wore a split jersey representing both the Kansas City Chiefs (Travis) and Philadelphia Eagles (Jason).
Donna's admission that she and Ed stayed together for their sons has sparked discussions about the sacrifices parents make for their children. Some may question the ethics of staying in a marriage that is no longer fulfilling, while others may understand the desire to provide a stable and supportive environment for their kids.
Regardless of one's stance, it is undeniable that Donna and Ed Kelce's decision was driven by love and a deep commitment to their sons. Their story serves as a reminder of the profound impact parents can have on their children's lives, both on and off the field.
Donna and Ed's journey also highlights the importance of co-parenting, even after divorce. By putting their sons' needs first, they have maintained a strong bond with both Travis and Jason, and continue to be a supportive presence in their lives.
In fact, Donna's famous split jersey has become a symbol of unity, not only for her family, but for the entire football community. It represents the idea that families can overcome any obstacles and support their loved ones through thick and thin.
As the Kelce brothers continue to make their mark in the NFL, Donna and Ed can take pride in the fact that they played an instrumental role in shaping the men they have become. Their unwavering love and commitment have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on Travis and Jason, both as individuals and as athletes.
