BREAKING: Donna Kelce, 72, Mother of NFL Stars Travis and Jason Kelce, Passes Away Unexpectedly — Sports World Mourns the Loss
May 12, 2025 — New York, NY
The sports world is in mourning following the sudden and unexpected death of Donna Kelce, 72, the beloved mother of NFL superstars Travis Kelce and recently retired Jason Kelce. According to a family spokesperson, Donna passed away peacefully in her sleep late Sunday evening.
Known affectionately as “Mama Kelce” to millions of NFL fans, Donna became a household name during the lead-up to Super Bowl LVII, where her two sons faced off on football’s biggest stage. Her warm personality, supportive presence, and viral game-day outfits endeared her to fans across the country.
Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jason Kelce, who recently announced his retirement after a legendary career with the Philadelphia Eagles, released a joint statement early Monday:
“Our hearts are broken. Our mother was our greatest cheerleader, our foundation, and our best friend. She loved fiercely and supported us unconditionally. We ask for privacy as we grieve this tremendous loss.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell offered condolences on behalf of the league, calling Donna “a shining example of what it means to be a parent, a fan, and a friend of the game.”
Tributes have poured in from fellow athletes, celebrities, and fans alike. Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s longtime girlfriend, posted on Instagram: “Donna was a light in every room she entered. Her warmth, wisdom, and love will be missed deeply.”
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced later this week. The Kelce family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a charity Donna supported: Feeding America.
Donna’s legacy extends far beyond the field. To many, she was a symbol of strength, humor, and motherly love in a game defined by grit and competition.
