NFL stars and brothers Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are known for their playful sibling rivalry and larger-than-life personalities, but this Christmas, their mother, Donna Kelce, took center stage with a heartfelt message that had fans buzzing.
During a recent podcast episode of New Heights, which the brothers co-host, they shared the touching Christmas message Donna sent them. True to her loving yet no-nonsense nature, Donna’s words perfectly balanced humor, warmth, and motherly wisdom.

“She sent us this long text, and it was classic Mom,” Jason said with a laugh. “It started with, ‘I’m so proud of you both,’ and ended with, ‘Stop fighting over who’s my favorite!’”

Travis added, “She even wrote, ‘Remember, Christmas is about giving—not who has the most touchdowns or pancakes.’ Classic Big Mama Kelce keeping us humble.”

The brothers couldn’t help but express their admiration for their mom’s ability to bring the family together, even during their hectic NFL schedules. “No matter what’s happening, she always reminds us to stay grounded and appreciate the little things,” Jason said.

Fans of the Kelce family took to social media to share their love for Donna, with many dubbing her the “ultimate NFL mom.” One fan tweeted, “Donna Kelce deserves MVP for raising two legends and still keeping them humble at Christmas!” Another wrote, “Donna Kelce’s Christmas message is everything—funny, sweet, and so relatable.”

As the holiday season continues, Donna’s message serves as a reminder that even in the spotlight, family and love remain at the heart of the Kelce household. And while Travis and Jason may be rivals on the field, they’ll always be united by their mom’s unwavering love and wisdom.
