Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce tease mother Donna’s surprising appearance in 'The Traitors' show
There’s a fun rumor going around. Turns out, Donna Kelce, the mom of Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, might be joining the reality show The Traitors when the reality TV show makes a comeback in early 2026. The show is hosted by Alan Cumming, takes place in Scotland, and is all about trust, secrets, and mind games.
Speculations started after a popular TV gossip page posted on June 12 that Donna could be one of the new contestants for Season 4.
Soon after that post, the New Heights podcast (which Jason and Travis host) shared a throwback clip from an October 2024 episode on the same day. The caption said:
“Reposting this for no reason whatsoever 😉.”
In the video, Travis talks about how much he loves The Traitors and how he’d love to be on it. He tells Jason that he’d be great at it too. Jason laughs and says he wouldn’t be, because he’s terrible at lying, something he found out when they played the game on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Check out the full conversation from October 2024 :
Travis: My new favorite show right now — The Traitors. Dude, have you seen The Traitors, Jason?
Jason Kelce: “I checked it out. "
Travis: “Dude, you would crush it on The Traitors.”
Jason Kelce: Traitors? I’m terrible. When I was on the mountain, I can't lie. You know that. I'm an awful liar.
Travis: Yeah, but sometimes you can use that to your advantage. Jason: But I'm not savvy enough. I'm just letting you know — every time we were at the mountain, we did it one time. Mount Kilimanjaro. I was the voted-out. Right away, they knew. They were like, "Jason’s a traitor." I was like, "No, I'm not!" And they were like, "No, you are."
Travis: It’s hilarious, but it is funny to see everyone have to defend themselves when the entire table is pointing at them, saying they’re a traitor — and to see how someone reacts under pressure. I love it. Sometimes people just fold.
Jason: I'm taking notes. There are some people that say things where you’re like, “Wow. Yeah, that’s a good one.”
Travis: Honestly, I just want to play the game. It’s a show I think I would have fun with.
Nothing is official yet though.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's mother Donna Kelce has skyrocketed to fame since 2023
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce became well known during the 2023 Super Bowl, when her two sons played against each other. Jason for the Eagles and Travis for the Chiefs.
She wore a jersey supporting both teams and became a fan favorite. Her popularity grew even more when Travis started dating pop star Taylor Swift later that year.
Now, Donna might be ready for a new kind of spotlight.
