In a shocking turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce abruptly canceled his game plan preparations for an upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans to rush to a local hospital, where his mother, Donna Kelce, is facing a serious health crisis. Just 20 minutes ago, Travis’s brother, Jason Kelce, a former Philadelphia Eagles center, shared a heartbreaking update on social media, urging fans to “please pray for my mother” as the Kelce family navigates this difficult moment.

Donna Kelce, affectionately known as “Mama Kelce” to NFL fans, has been a beloved figure in the football world, often seen cheering on her sons at games and engaging with fans through her warm personality. Earlier this year, Donna made headlines for raising awareness about shingles, a painful condition affecting those over 50, as part of GSK’s THRIVE@50+ campaign. However, the specifics of her current health emergency remain undisclosed, with Jason’s emotional post offering little detail beyond a call for prayers and support.

Travis, who was expected to lead the Chiefs’ offensive strategy against the Texans, reportedly left the team’s facility immediately upon receiving news of his mother’s condition. Sources close to the team confirm that the tight end, known for his record-setting performances and larger-than-life presence, was visibly shaken as he prioritized family over football. The Chiefs organization has yet to release an official statement, but teammates, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have expressed their support for Kelce during this challenging time.

The Kelce family has long been a symbol of unity and resilience, with Donna and her ex-husband Ed raising two NFL stars while maintaining a close-knit bond. Jason’s post, shared on X, has sparked an outpouring of love from fans, with hashtags like #PrayForDonna trending worldwide. “Mama Kelce is the heart of our family,” Jason wrote. “We’re asking for all your prayers and strength right now.”

As the NFL community rallies behind the Kelces, attention turns to Donna’s recovery and Travis’s return to the field. For now, the focus remains on the woman who has been a pillar of support for her sons and a cherished figure for fans. The Chiefs’ game against the Texans may go on, but for Travis and Jason, no victory matters more than their mother’s health. The world waits for updates, holding onto hope for Mama Kelce’s swift recovery.
