\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tDonna Kelce, Wilma McNabb and more moms of pro football players were their sons\u2019 No. 1 fans long before their NFL days. Travis and Jason Kelce\u2019s mother found herself in the spotlight leading up to Super Bowl LVII in February 2023, which marked the first time brothers played against one another in the championship game. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Galloway isn\u2019t alone. As one Tennessee fan wrote via X during the game, he finds her \u201cmore insufferable than her son,\u201d which is no small feat considering the Volunteers and Commodores are fierce in-state rivals.<\/p>\n
Padilla made headlines before the game even started, joining her son on the field for Vanderbilt\u2019s Senior Day ceremony, accompanied by comedian Theo Vonn<\/strong><\/a>. Their relationship dates back to September when Pavia, 23, jokingly promised Vonn, 45, a date with his mother if Vanderbilt defeated South Carolina. The Commodores won the game, 31-7.<\/p>\nVonn appeared on the SEC Network broadcast of the game, where he talked about potentially marrying Padilla, a nurse.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy goal is, I would like to marry a nurse one day,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t even know if I\u2019d do it. I like being [Pavia\u2019s] friend. I don\u2019t want to end up being like his stepdad or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the Kentucky game, Vonn took to X<\/a> to clarify that he and Padilla are not an item.<\/p>\n\u201cNever got the date, but did develop a friendship with the greatest family in college sports!\u201d he wrote. \u201cGod Bless the Pavias!\u201d<\/p>\n
Padilla and Vonn had plenty to celebrate on Saturday as Pavia had the game of his life against the Wildcats. He threw for five touchdowns and set Vanderbilt\u2019s single-game record with 484 passing yards.<\/p>\n
He has credited his mom before for instilling a work ethic that got him to where he is \u2014 as a real candidate to win the Heisman Trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom, she\u2019s hard-hat, lunch-pail. She grew up with 13 brothers and sisters in a single home,\u201d Pavia told The Athletic<\/em><\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\nPavia said he didn\u2019t realize until he got older that on nights when Padilla said she wasn\u2019t hungry or ate very little dinner, it was really so she could ensure all her kids had enough to eat.<\/p>\n
The Commodores will close the regular season at Tennessee on Saturday, November 29. A win would put Paavia and Vanderbilt in the driver\u2019s seat for a College Football Playoff bid.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
