Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce made an honest admission about his parents, Ed Kelce and Donna Kelce, during his appearance on “The Steam Room” podcast.

The seven-time Pro Bowler, who described Donna Kelce as a “loving and nurturing person,” shared that his mother not only worked a 9-to-5 job and was the primary breadwinner for the family but also managed to handle all the “mom duties” at home with ease.

Jason Kelce also admitted that he didn’t notice the hardships of his mother because he was with his father most of the time and would bond over sports.

However, when he got older, he commended Donna Kelce for being such a super mom.

“I had no idea how hard you were working, and everything you were doing for our family,” Jason Kelce added.

Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce met in the late ’70s but divorced after 25 years of marriage.

In the documentary “Kelce,” it was revealed that they stayed together for the sake of their sons.

The Chiefs tight end shared that he anticipated the split after realizing his family “was different from other parents.”

“I started making those connections when I was in middle school and I realized that they were probably gonna split,” the NFL star said in the documentary, adding, “But they stayed together for me and Jason’s benefit because I believe.”
