“Travis Kelce’s Bold Statement: ‘I Don’t Want to End Up Divorced Like My Parents’—Find Out the Real Reason!”

Neither Jason nor Travis Kelce have spoken much about their parents’ divorce. In fact, some fans aren’t even aware that the Kelce parents aren’t together.

For millions of people in the US and throughout the world, names like “Travis Kelce” and “Jason Kelce,” not to mention their parents, became familiar only after Travis and Taylor Swift became a whole thing.

However, even before that, Travis and Jason Kelce were already famous within the subculture of sports.

In fact, in 2023, the brothers faced off at the Super Bowl. This put Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce, their parents, in an awkward yet unprecedented position: being NFL parents rooting for kids on both sides of the biggest game.

Jason and Travis Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, are divorced. Even so, they are famous (especially Donna) for showing up at their sons’ games

The two first met — decades ago, obviously — at Fagan’s, a bar in Cleveland. It was after work, and the two hit it off instantly. Donna, who was Donna Blalock at the time, ended up blowing off an intended date later because she enjoyed chatting with Ed Kelce so much.

Donna gave him a ride home so that he could shower and change after a long day’s work. Then, they continued their chat at another bar, The No Name.

Donna and Ed Kelce were together for more than 20 years before their divorce.

Truth be told, Travis and Jason Kelce’s parents would have preferred to divorce earlier than they did. They stayed together for their children — which does always risk backfiring. But they knew that the logistics of being co-parents would be a “nightmare” given their then-young sons’ budding athletic careers.
