4 October 2024<\/time>\n<\/p>\nDonna Kelce had to “stand still” in order to raise her sons Travis and Jason amid her crumbling marriage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Donna Kelce put her sons first<\/p>\n
The 71-year-old matriarch wanted to set a good example to the NFL stars when they were growing up by going out to work, but admitted she put some of her own ambitions on hold in order to do her best for the kids before she and Ed Kelce eventually divorced.<\/p>\n
She told Us Glamour’s Women of the Year: The Moms issue: \u201cI was a commercial banker for a bank in several different states. I wanted to get ahead. I worked really, really hard. I was a major breadwinner in the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think it\u2019s important for kids to see that a woman can do whatever she wants, but I did stand still, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband and I knew that our marriage was not working, but we stayed together for the kids.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOurs was a very friendly relationship. So, we could do that and make sure that their life was normal as possible. But in that one respect, I did stand still for several years until I could move on on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDonna admitted being a parent was the “most daunting” role she’s ever undertook.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “Being a mom is probably the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s so much easier to just go to work, but raising children, when they\u2019re totally dependent on you and you\u2019re trying to do the best you can with the limited resources that you have, it\u2019s the most daunting task I\u2019ve ever had to do.”<\/p>\n
\nThe whole Kelce family’s lives have changed because of the spotlight being on Travis – who is dating Taylor Swift – and Jason, and they can’t do ordinary things any more.<\/p>\n
\nDonna said: “We can\u2019t go anywhere, really. If we want to do something, you have to rent out the restaurant or the movie theater or whatever. I do get to sneak away every once in a while, and we go to places that nobody knows where they are.”<\/p>\n
\nBut with fame has come more opportunities and Donna is aware she wouldn’t have landed her role in upcoming Hallmark holiday movie ‘Christmas on Call’ without it.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “It\u2019s kind of fun to see people that have been in the industry and to try to learn from them, because I\u2019m such a novice. I just started. <\/p>\n
\n“I just have been fortunate because people know who I am. <\/p>\n
\n“I know where this is coming from. I know they\u2019re interested because of who my children are and who they know, and I just take it with a grain of salt. But it was really fun.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
