Ed Kelce can’t even imagine how ex-wife Donna Kelce will fare on The Traitors.
“Dad, Mom is in Traitors,” Jason Kelce said on the Wednesday, June 18, episode of his “New Heights” podcast as brother and cohost Travis Kelce tried to stop him, unsure whether the announcement had been officially made.
Ed chimed in, “I was lectured by your mother not to talk about it.”
Jason, 37, asked his father to share his thoughts on how he thinks Donna will do on the reality series.

“Chances of what?” Ed questioned before Jason asked whether he thought she could win.
“Winning what? … I have no idea what she’s doing,” Ed quipped.
Jason then broke down the premise of the show, which is a mafia-style game. After explaining the concept, Jason asked Ed again whether he thought Donna could win.
“Haven’t got a f***ing clue. I don’t know,” he said. “I’m not a reality TV show type person.”
Ed and Donna tied the knot in the late ‘70s before welcoming Jason in 1987 and Travis, 35, in 1989. After their sons grew up, the pair divorced after 25 years of marriage. While their marriage didn’t last, Donna and Ed have remained friendly as they’ve supported Jason and Travis’ football careers.
Donna was announced as part of the reality series’ season 4 cast on Friday, June 13, alongside Lisa Rinna, Mark Ballas and more. She will face off against reality stars, Real Housewives, former athletes, comedians and more TV personalities.

Ahead of the official cast announcement, Travis and Jason teased that their mom would be headed to the Scottish castle. The brothers’ “New Heights” X account subtly reposted their commentary about the competition series, captioning the video, “Reposting this for no reason whatsoever.”
“Dude, you would f***ing crush it on Traitors,” Travis told Jason on their podcast in a video posted on Thursday, June 12.
Jason disagreed with his little brother, speculating that he would “be terrible” at the game.
“I can’t lie [and] you know that,” Jason said. “I’m an awful liar. … I did it one time [while] climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and I was the first voted off. Right away, they knew. They’re, like, ‘Jason’s a Traitor.’”
Travis noted that Jason’s honesty could be used to his “advantage.”

“It is fun to see everyone have to defend themselves when the entire table is pointing at them, saying they’re a Traitor, and to see how someone reacts under pressure,” he reflected. “I f***ing love it. And honestly? I just want to play the game.”
Travis shared that while he thought he would “be better as a Faithful,” he thought he had what it takes to be a Traitor.
Donna reposted her sons’ “New Heights” footage onto her Instagram Stories that afternoon, writing, “Mama is in it to win it!”
