Donna Kelce reveals whether Travis has passed Jason as her favorite son

It’s been 10 months since Donna Kelce revealed that her oldest son, Jason Kelce, is her favorite child.

And nothing has changed.

Donna was a guest on the latest installment of the “New Heights” podcast, which Jason co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, and explained why Jason is still her favorite son.

“Well, mommy,” Travis said. “We last had you on the show before the [2023] Super Bowl, where you said definitively that Jason was your favorite … Understandable though, understood.

“Has that changed at all this season?” he asked.

“Not yet,” Donna said, laughing.

Jason yelled “Oh my gosh!” while he leaned back in his seat and laughed.

“Ugh, the burn,” Travis joked. “The burn.”

Meanwhile, Jason was still smiling.

“Such a perfect answer,” he said. “I don’t think it could have been any better.”

That’s when Donna walked back her comments.

“I love you both the same,” she said.

Travis quipped that he is Donna’s favorite while explaining that she will spend New Year’s Eve in Kansas City when the Chiefs host the Bengals on Sunday.

“You do it right,” the two-time Super Bowl champ said. “See the girls [Jason’s daughters] for Christmas, then come see your favorite son and party it up for New Year’s. You know what you’re doing.”

Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift is also expected to attend the game at Arrowhead Stadium, according to Page Six.

Donna spent Christmas in Philadelphia — where the Eagles beat the Giants, 33-25, at Lincoln Financial Field — with Jason, his wife Kylie Kelce and their three daughters, Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, who turns one in February 2024.

The proud mom previously explained that Jason was her favorite son while she was in Phoenix for the Super Bowl in February, when Travis’ Chiefs beat Jason’s Eagles.

“Each one has been my favorite at certain times in their lives,” Donna told Entertainment Tonight on Feb. 9. “Right now, Jason’s a little ahead because of the grandchildren.

“But I’m sure Travis will take it over soon one of these days. I can’t, you know, as a mother, you just can’t pick one against the other. It’s 50/50 and it always will be.”
