Entertainment Sports Donna Kelce Says She and Ex-Husband Ed ‘Worked Together as a Team’ to Raise Jason and Travis Before Divorcing

Donna Kelce is reflecting on her divorce from ex-husband Ed after their sons, Jason and Travis Kelce, graduated from college.

Donna, 71, sat down with Martha Stewart for an episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast, an iHeartPodcast, and shared how she and Ed “worked together” to raise their NFL star sons.

“It was after the kids were out of college” that they divorced, Donna began telling Stewart, 82. “We worked together as a team,” she continued.

Donna explained that it’s “very, very difficult to raise children on your own,” especially two sons with big dreams of becoming professional athletes.

“And with as active as they were, how do you do that on your own? So we decided that we would be married throughout the entire time that the kids were in the house, and that’s the way it worked out,” Donna shared

Stewart told Donna it was “so smart and so lucky” that she and Ed chose that path, agreeing that it is “so hard” to raise children alone and that it was also “lucky” for Travis, 34, and Jason, 36, to have their parents under the same roof until they moved out.
