One comment reflected shock, “Not Donna in leather pants 🫣.” A fan was visibly puzzled by the look, “Why in gods name is Donna Kelce wearing leather pants?” “Really! Those pants grandma! 🤦 smh,” another user disapproved.
Some fans wished she went for a different color, “Wish Donna wasn’t wearing black..” Another fan took note of her unusual attire, “They put her in leather pants lol.” Another felt she didn’t look comfortable in the outfit, noting, “Donna looks miserable.” However, an individual had mixed feelings, commenting, “Her hair is allways messy but I do think she a good mother [sic].”

She added that the pants, which are “really fun,” were very comfortable to sit in. “You don’t get hot, you don’t get, you know, it’s just nice,” she said.
Donna also shared that one of the scenes in the movie shows her wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey, which her son Travis Kelce signed “Love you, Mommy!” She recounted the loving bond between her and Travis, noting that her son always calls her mommy.
One user remarked, “I don’t know how Donna Kelce rates as a cover mom. Lots more deserving.” This sentiment was echoed by others, questioning, “Why is Travis Kelce’s mama there?” and asserting that “Donna Kelce has no place here.”

Another user remarked sarcastically, “So she got this…for what, exactly? Existing? She apparently never taught Travis basic household skills lol.” This comment was in reference to when Donna revealed what Travis Kelce can’t do, “He can’t clean, he can’t cook… he’s getting a little better. I think he’s getting some help.”

Other users expressed their disdain while giving more details, “Oh poor Donna. You have to rent out movie theaters/restaurants!!! Feel so sorry for you & all your privilege. Maybe you, Taylor, and your clout chasing family should’ve thought about that beforehand 🙃 [sic].”

The user was referring to Glamour’s interview where Donna was asked if she missed doing anything with her sons. The mom of two had replied that they can’t really go anywhere, noting that if they want to do something, they have to rent out a restaurant or movie theater. However, she mentioned that they occasionally manage to sneak away to places that are not widely known.

Some users didn’t believe Donna deserved to be on the same cover as Billie Eilish’s mom, Maggie, with one commenting, “Billie’s mom is an activist and uses the attention she gets for good like creating her nonprofit ‘support and feed’. She’s the reason Billie is so vocal about climate change and other issues that are important to her so I love seeing Maggie on the cover. Donna though?? not so much.”

According to Donna, she raised her sons to be “unashamedly themselves,” a quality they inherited from her. As the proud mother of Jason Kelce and Travis, she experienced the thrill of watching them face off in opposing teams during the 2022 Super Bowl.
