Donna Kelce doesn’t talk about her life outside of being a football mom much, but Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have gotten her to share some interesting details about the years before they entered the picture. Ahead of the “Kelce Bowl,” the siblings asked their mom to share her life story on their podcast “New Heights” in February 2023. When the topic of her father, Donald Roy “Don” Blalock, Sr., came up, Donna described him as a “narcissist.” Proof of this, she said, was Don’s decision to name both her and her brother, Donald R. Blalock, Jr., after himself. Donna revealed that her dad also had a son named James much later in life; her younger half-brother is just two years Jason’s senior.
According to Donna, her father struggled with monogamy but kept getting hitched; by the time he died in 2018, he’d given marriage a shot with five different women. When Jason asked his mom if Don was a faithful husband, she said, “Of course not. He’s a narcissist.”

Donna also helped clear up some confusion Jason had about his grandfather’s past. He’d seen a report saying Don had committed treason, but Donna explained that the crime he was accused of was actually “industrial espionage.” According to a 1981 Cleveland Plain Dealer report, he got arrested for allegedly stealing blueprints from an equipment manufacturing company where he used to work. However, Donna said that he was never convicted of the crime.
