Travis Kelce is quickly becoming a household name, but according to his mother, Donna Kelcehe handles it well.
In an interview with ExtraDonna, 71, reflected on Travis, 34, and his recent rise to stardom. While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has had quite a strong fan base and loyal following since the early stages of his NFL career, Travis blew up to megastar status when he started dating Taylor Swift over a year ago.

Donna has noticed this and is excited for her son as he navigates new paths. She said it’s tough hanging out with Travis these days, but she’s happy to see him out and about having fun.
“It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that’s just going up every day, and every time I turn around I see him doing something different — whether it’s on the golf course or at a concert or whatever, he just has his best life right now,” Donna said.
Of course, with fame comes lots of external pressure to keep it together for fans and followers. But Donna said this kind of attention has never scared Travis. In fact, he has always loved to bring joy to people’s lives through entertainment.
“He’s always been in the spotlight,” Donna said. “He loves attention. I mean, he’s always dancing, always joking, always having fun… he just loves life. He’s got a zest for life and he’s one of those individuals who wants to make sure everyone’s laughing and having a good time .”
Fans are looking forward to seeing Travis make his acting debut in FX’s new horror drama series, Grotesquerie. Although he didn’t appear in the first two episodes that premiered this past Wednesday, September 25, the trailer for next week’s episode teased his ominous opening.
