Travis and Jason Kelce appear to confirm mom Donna's shock Traitors appearance
Rumors first surfaced on Thursday morning that she was a potential contender to appear on the show, with the respected TV gossip account ' Reality TV Fan' naming her on X.
The rumors appeared to be true with the New Heights podcast account then sharing an old clip of Travis and Jason discussing their love of the show.
'Reposting this for no reason whatsoever,' the caption read, with a smirking emoji.
'Dude you would f***ing crush it on Traitors,' Travis tells Jason.
'I can't lie, you know that. I'm an awful liar' the older Kelce brother responded.

'I just want to play the game,' Travis added. 'I do think I'd be better as a faithful.'
But the duo didn't discuss how good they think their mother would be. They will find out soon enough though, it seems, with filming expected to begin shortly.
Donna, 72, has seen her fame rise dramatically since Travis went public with his relationship with Taylor Swift in September 2023. The singer was sat next to Donna at a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium against Chicago Bears.
She was famous enough in the NFL world before that - the 2023 Super Bowl was called 'the Kelce bowl' as it pitted Travis and the Chiefs against Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles.
She attended the game in Arizona in a 50-50 jersey to support both of her sons.
Her appearance on the popular show would no doubt be an opportunity for Swifties and NFL fans to gain precious insight into life in one of the most popular families in America.
She used to divide her time during the NFL season between Philadelphia and Kansas City but since Jason's retirement in 2024, has been free to follow Travis.
Last year, she shared her son's VIP suite with Swift for most of the home Chiefs games.
They appear to be close away from the football field as well - they were pictured together in Philadelphia for a Mother's Day meal in early May.

One wrote on the forum platform: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. "Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials. "Often relies on the 'can't talk to women'/catfish story to dodge specific relationship questions." However, the star has now broken his silence over the timing, saying that he wanted 'full control' of the narrative. Speaking on the Useless Hotline Podcast, he admitted: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. "Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out." However, the star rubbished the infamous 'Strictly Curse', as he claimed that it would not affect him. Strictly's George Clarke 'gives away' who his pro dance partner is George said: "Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private." He then explained that he didn't want there to be any rumours or anything that could ruin his relationship. The star added: "[it] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. "But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. "But, yeah, she's my girlfriend." He also said that his girlfriend is still her own person and is getting used to being thrown into the public eye. This comes after he may have accidentally let slip who he's partnered with for this year's series. On the podcast he also spoke about the audition process where he revealed that he was partnered with Lauren Oakley. He also admitted that the duo rehearsed for a full hour together, as he explained: "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren, who was the pro that I met. "Because when we had a interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Lauren has appeared on the show since 2022, and so far has competed with two stars – Krishnan Guru-Murthy, who placed 8th, and JB Gill last year. She took over from fellow pro Amy Dowden mid-season after she was forced to withdraw due to injury. 7 7 7 7
