Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, subtly shared her reaction to his new photos with Taylor Swift.
Newsweek reached out to Donna Kelce’s representative via email for comment on Monday.
The Context
Travis Kelce, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift, his billionaire pop star girlfriend, first sparked dating rumors back in July 2023 when he attended one of her Eras Tour stops in Kansas City, Missouri. Later that year, Swift was spotted in the crowd at several of his football games, and they went public with their relationship in October 2023 at a Saturday Night Live after-party.
What To Know
On Sunday, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce’s Instagram fan page, @kelcebrothers, posted a photo of the NFL star and Swift eating at a restaurant together.
“Taylor and Travis dining at Harry’s in West Palm Beach, Florida last night,” they captioned the photo.
At the time of publication, the post racked up more than 67,800 likes—and one of them was from Donna Kelce.
Previously, the former banker shared her support for Swift when she released her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
“I listened to the whole album, and I listened to it all morning long when it was released. I was just very impressed,” she told People in April 2024. “She is a very talented woman, and I think it is probably her best work.”
The following month, Donna Kelce gave few details when discussing the “Cruel Summer” singer on The Martha Stewart Podcast.
“I know I was begged not to mention Taylor Swift, but I just want to say, you always look so great with her in the box when she was at the games with you,” host Stewart said, referring to her attendance at Chiefs games. “She’s lovely. So good luck with that because that is some situation.”
The 72-year-old responded: “You never know. Time will tell, but I know that they’re both friendly, they’re both generous, they’re both loving, they’re both caring individuals.”
Earlier this year, Donna Kelce posted a rare message about Swift via Instagram. Following the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17—where Swift scooped up several prizes—she was praised for sharing a list of what she won.
