Donna Kelce says son Travis ‘can’t cook’ but hints Taylor Swift might be able to help

Donna Kelce playfully shares some of her son Travis Kelce’s mistakes.

In an interview with Extra TV, the 71-year-old Kelce matriarch opened up about the things the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end can’t do, despite his success in football and his recent hosting and acting gigs.

“He can’t clean. “He can’t cook,” she jokingly listed, before adding that he’s “feeling a little better.”

“I think he’s getting help,” Donna noted, hinting that he might get some tips from his girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34.

The 14-time Grammy winner previously shared a video on YouTube Shorts of him kissing her in the kitchen while she stirs a pot, along with other snaps from her life. In the short clip, several food ingredients could be seen on the counter behind.

When asked about his appearance in the video and the types of food he liked to cook with Swift during a Chiefs press conference in June, the NFL player admitted that he enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with his girlfriend, but declined to comment on dishes they have prepared together.

“I respect that question, but I’m keeping it to myself because I really enjoy cooking with her, so I’d rather keep it personal,” he replied.

He later added in the press conference that the “Fortnight” singer “makes a great Pop-Tart and cinnamon rolls.” She even baked for Travis’ teammates after the two went public with their romance in September 2023.

“She’s kind of hiding behind the scenes trying to fit in – she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think – she likes to cook, so she made these homemade Pop-Tarts for the offensive linemen.” That gave Chiefs coach Andy Reid during an interview at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

Swift was there to cheer on Travis as he recently returned to the football field for the NFL’s final season. She appeared at the Chiefs’ season opener earlier this month and at the Chiefs’ game on Sept. 15 at Arrowhead Stadium, where she wore an oversized Chiefs T-shirt and a pair of thigh-high boots.

Swift is taking a break from touring after the European leg of her Eras Tour wrapped up in mid-August after playing a second series of shows at Wembley Stadium in London. Their tour is scheduled to resume in Miami in mid-October.

Kelce previously supported the singer on tours and performed at several of her European Eras Tour concerts. He even made a surprise appearance on stage during their June 23 show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
