How Travis Kelce's Mom Ended Up at Lunch With Martha Stewart

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Martha Stewart held a special luncheon at her Las Vegas restaurant — and Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, was one of the lucky guests.

The iconic lifestyle guru, 82, took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos from the event, including a shot of her and Donna Kelce. While Stewart wore a black Balenciaga silk set with a yellow flower print, Donna rocked a black, white and red color scheme: a white top with artistic black circles, paired with black pants and a black jacket. She complemented the fit with a chunky black and red necklace, dangling red earrings, and black-rimmed glasses.

"Photo drop from lunch today @thebedfordbymarthastewart @parisvegas where I hosted a large group of people preparing for the new @qvc Adventure !" Stewart captioned the post, which also featured scrumptous-looking photos of several of her culinary delights. "The CEO and CFO of QVC hosted @donnakelce came along with many more women representing QVC More to come!!"

Due to her youngest son's relationship with Taylor Swift, Donna — who is also mom to retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce — is yet another member of the Kelce clan who is now navigating the glare of the spotlight like never before. In between the many praise-worthy comments about Stewart's ensemble at the lunch one fan praised Donna's "glow-up" at the event.

In addition to spending time with Stewart, Donna has bonded with Swift ever since the two were spotted chatting in September 2023 while cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. "Taylor has become even more close with Travis' mom, [Donna]," a source told Us Weekly last month. "Taylor has really been integrated into the family."

Stewart, meanwhile, has also praised Swift. At the 2015 Time 100 celebration, she referred to the "Guilty as Sin?" singer on Instagram as "eloquent and charming and sang her songs as only she does." However, as fans quickly pointed out, the images Stewart took of Swift at the time were hilariously unflattering, with the iconic homemaker noting in her caption: "Photos taken from a distance on my apple iphone."
