When news broke that Donna Kelce was updating her Florida home, social media immediately went wild.
Jokes and memes about the matriarch of the Kelce family flooded the internet, with fans and her sons, Jason and Travis, joining in on the fun.
TMZ first reported the story, highlighting the replacement of several windows and doors at Donna’s Orlando condo.
Donna Calls It ‘So Stupid’
Curious about her reaction, her two sons decided to give “The Traitors” star a call directly during a recent episode of their popular podcast “New Heights.”
“Even TMZ sent me a text and said, ‘Can you be on? This is really funny.’ And I’m like, ‘It’s so stupid!’” Donna declared.
Clarifying the purpose behind the renovations, she denied that the updates were part of any HGTV-style makeover. “All I’m doing is my people are coming to put in my windows … You know my whole apartment is all windows. There’s windows all around the building,” she explained.
Her eldest son, Jason, couldn’t resist teasing her. “Are you going bulletproof? What’s happening here?” he asked, prompting laughter from Travis.
Donna emphasized the practical side of the project, rather than any flashy aesthetic goals. “This year it got so cold in here, it was in the 30s,” she said. “And I literally had sweat coming down the windows in pools of water in my living room because it couldn’t handle it. These are cheap windows that were put in 20 years ago. And I’m like, ‘I’m not doing this again. I’m putting in new windows.’”
The work is scheduled to last just three days, with crews installing the windows and doors. “That’s it. Period!” Donna added.
Jason Continues to Poke Fun About the Renovations
Jason poked fun at the idea that her “modest home” might now feel more luxurious.
“I just want to say, Mom, it said ‘modest home’ and it feels like you’re turning this place into a bit of a gilded palace if I must say. I think you’ve changed a little bit. You’ve had a taste of the good life,” he joked.
Donna kept her cool, focusing on the practical benefits of the upgrades. “Yeah, you know me. You know I am so logical,” she said. “I’m doing something so that I can save money on heating and air conditioning and to keep my windows from sweating. That’s as simple as it is.”
Even with the lighthearted ribbing from her family and the viral attention online, Donna remained unapologetic.
Referencing her love of Disney World, Jason quipped, “While they’re remodeling the home, maybe Disney will let you stay in the palace like the queen you are.”
