The Kelce brothers have finally addressed the news that has taken the internet by storm: their mother, Donna Kelce, is remodeling her home.
Jason and Travis used the latest teaser for their New Heights podcast to break their silence on what they called the ‘most important news’ out of the family this week.
The viral frenzy began after TMZ reported on Saturday that the NFL matriarch had filed permits for a renovation of her home in Orlando, Florida.
According to official records, the 73-year-old has hired a local contractor to replace nine windows and six exterior doors at the 1,434-square-foot property.
The report immediately became a massive social media meme and now brothers Jason and Travis have got involved in the action.
In the clip, Jason said: ‘Let’s talk about the most important news out of the Kelce family this week. We wanted to break this news on the show but reports have already started to leak out.’

While viewers likely thought that Travis would finally address the contract extension that he recently signed with the Chiefs, instead, they spoke on the renovations.
Jason shouted: ‘Donna Kelce is remodeling her modest Florida home! Let’s give it up for Donna!’
Travis joined in on the satire, jokingly telling his mother that if she had just asked, he would have been happy to help her with the manual labor.
‘I told her if she needed me to screw some door hinges in, I could’ve f***ing done it for her,’ the Kansas City Chiefs star laughed.
The news of the $12 million contract Travis recently signed will come as a boost to Donna, as reports of her home renovations continue to break the internet.
Travis will sign a new one-year deal worth a guaranteed $12 million after agreeing to stay loyal to the Chiefs, sticking with the city where he has won three Super Bowls.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the deal will have a max value of $15 million as Kelce, who is set to marry Taylor Swift soon, heads into his 14th season.
The contract represents a potential drop of $5 million a year for Kelce, who earned $34.25 million across two seasons in his previous deal signed ahead of 2024.
He could almost certainly have commanded a bigger salary elsewhere given his marketing value, but the veteran tight end opted to stay in Kansas City for 2026.

Kelce, who is set to marry Taylor Swift soon, took some time deliberating his future this winter
Swift’s boyfriend has earned over $111 million in his career, per Spotrac, and given his partner’s billionaire status, it is fair to assume the star isn’t short on cash.
Another factor in his decision to stay may lie in a series of blockbuster moves the Chiefs have made, including signing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.
The franchise and Kelce endured a nightmare 6-11 season last year, missing the postseason for the first time since 2014, ending in what fans called ‘disaster.’
Despite the team’s struggles, Kelce had a season to be proud of individually, recording 851 yards and becoming the third tight end in history to pass 13,000 yards.
‘There’s a lot of love for the game still,’ Kelce confessed on his podcast regarding his decision to return, ‘I don’t think I’ll ever lose that.’
