It must be a slow news day when Donna Kelce makes headlines for simply renovating her home \u2014 but for her youngest son Travis Kelce<\/a>, the viral story actually was informative.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know she was doing these things,\u201d the NFL tight end confessed on The Pat McAfee Show <\/a>on Tuesday. \u201cIf she needed a guy to come screw some door hinges in, she could\u2019ve just called me,” he joked. \u201cBut I guess she\u2019s doing a big massive renovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, TMZ published the \u201cexclusive<\/a>\u201d that the Kelce matriarch had hired a construction crew to replace nine windows and six doors at her home in Orlando, Fla.<\/p>\n

The \u201cbreaking news\u201d went viral with 1.9 million views on X<\/a> (as of Tuesday), thanks to social media personalities and meme-makers poking fun at the ridiculousness of it all.<\/p>\n

“Daylight savings happened purely to give donna kelce an extra hour of daylight to renovate her home,” @picturetokurn<\/a> quipped. Some made political jokes. “Bombing Iran to distract from the Donna Kelce home renovation,” @BalloonFlavour<\/a> added.<\/p>\n

In perhaps the most random commentary, the Empire State Building’s X account tweeted<\/a>, “Congrats to Donna Kelce on remodeling her modest Florida home!”<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce even got in on the fun. The retired NFL player shared TMZ\u2019s post on X with his own two cents<\/a>: \u201cBREAKING!! Sources confirm Donna Kelce\u2019s eldest son watched 2 hours of Bluey yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other big news in the Kelce family is that Travis, 36, will be returning to the NFL for his 14th season. Despite swirling retirement rumors, the three-time Super Bowl champion confirmed to McAfee he will indeed be back on the football field \u2014 and with the Kansas City Chiefs. \u201cI\u2019m still in love with this game,\u201d Travis gushed.<\/p>\n

It helps that his significant other, Taylor Swift, continues to work hard at her craft after all these decades as a pop superstar.<\/p>\n

“We share the same love for what we do,” Travis revealed. “It’s amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about. Keep finding new melodies and things like that. On top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “Of course that’s motivating. That’s motivating for anybody to see, let alone my fianc\u00e9e, and knowing that I’m going through something as I try to figure out exactly what the future holds for me. Something like that definitely motivates me to say, ‘You know what, I’m not done either!'”<\/p>\n
