Donna Kelce Says She Trained as a Pilot Before Motherhood on Kylie Kelce’s Podcast

She says she ended lessons because flying was too expensive when she chose to start a family.

Overview

  • Donna Kelce told Not Gonna Lie that she learned to fly and once piloted a plane before having children, a detail she believes her sons may not know.
  • She said she quit pilot training due to the cost after deciding with then-husband Ed Kelce to buy a house and begin their family.
  • Comparing her sons' childhoods, she described Jason as more rule-following and Travis as a risk-taker, recounting incidents with car keys and a garage door and Jason tossing knives.
  • As “Dee Dee” to four granddaughters, she said Wyatt reminds her most of Jason and identified Elliotte as the fearless one who most recalls Travis, and she joked she chose her nickname because babies often say the D sound first.
  • The episode was recorded at Disney World and follows her growing media profile, including her announced Season 4 casting on The Traitors, as separate coverage revisited the family’s Thanksgiving roles with her signature dinner rolls.
