Why Kylie Kelce thinks her mother-in-law Donna's personality could either hurt or help her on The Traitors season 4?
Kylie Kelce thinks Donna Kelce may surprise everyone on The Traitors with this one trait (@philadelphiaeagles via Instagram) Reality TV is about to get a whole lot more interesting—because Donna Kelce is officially headed to The Traitors Season 4. Known to the world as the proud mother of NFL superstars Jason and Travis Kelce , Donna is stepping away from stadiums and stepping into the murky world of lies, loyalty, and manipulation. And while fans are buzzing about her surprising appearance, no one is more intrigued than her own family. Kylie Kelce identifies what could be Donna's greatest strength on The Traitors Season 4 Peacock recently unveiled the Season 4 cast of the hit competition series, and Donna's name stands out among an eclectic mix of Real Housewives, Olympians, and reality TV veterans. With Bravo stars like Porsha Williams and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, plus Survivor's Rob Cesternino and DWTS pro Mark Ballas in the lineup, this season promises chaos, charm, and plenty of twists. But the big question remains: is Donna Kelce ready for a game built on deception? Kylie Kelce, wife of Jason Kelce, shared her unfiltered reaction on the June 19 episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, where she admitted to having mixed feelings. Kylie on Pin-Up Jason Tattoo, Coaching vs. Caitlin Clark & Bleeding Green with Dawn Staley | Ep. 23 'I guess I'm gonna have to watch the next season of Traitors,' she joked. 'That's right Donna Kelce, my mother-in-law, is on the coming season for Traitors. Have I watched Traitors? Not a whole season. Am I excited to watch Donna? A thousand percent. Imma cheer her on 'til the end of time.' While Kylie is undeniably rooting for her, she also raised a valid concern: Donna's honesty may be both a strength and a liability. 'I'm not gonna lie, her innocence and honesty is working against her,' she said. 'Or for her? Ooh, if she's a Faithful maybe it works for her. We're on the edge of our seats. I'm excited! Come on, Donna! Win it!' The family banter didn't stop with Kylie. Jason Kelce, speaking at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, said he was 'cautiously pessimistic' about his mom's odds. Travis Kelce, on the other hand, expressed excitement mixed with a bit of teasing. 'We've seen the evil side of Donna. You guys haven't,' the Kansas City Chiefs star joked, before assuring fans, 'There is no evil side. She's the sweetest. ' Interestingly, former Traitors winner Dylan Efron believes Donna could be a powerful player. He pointed out that her maternal warmth might make her a favorite among the cast—while also suggesting that some players might be too afraid to betray her, fearing they'd lose a shot at meeting Taylor Swift or snagging a spot in the Kelce family's VIP suite. Although Donna may not seem like the most cutthroat strategist, her competitive edge—sharpened by years of raising two NFL legends—could be her wildcard. She's not topping the early predictions, but as any Traitors fan knows, it's often the underestimated players who end up dominating the game. With cameras rolling, lies swirling, and alliances forming, the castle is ready—and so is Donna Kelce. Whether she emerges as a loyal Faithful or a cunning Traitor, one thing is certain: the world (and the entire Kelce family) will be watching.
