Production for The Traitors season 4 is underway, and Donna Kelce is set to compete among a cast of competitive reality titans, Bravolebrities, Olympians and more.
Donna is best known as the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. This will be her reality debut.
As the brothers have talked about on their “New Heights” podcast, the two are big fans of the show, which sends reality TV personalities and other celebrities to a castle in Scotland to compete in a Mafia-inspired game to figure out who among them is a Faithful and who is a Traitor.
Donna is set to compete as part of a star-studded cast that includes longtime Survivor fan favorite Rob Cesternino, Big Brother winner Ian Terry, four Real Housewives and two Olympic figure skaters.
Season 4 of Peacock’s The Traitors is off to a strong start with a stacked cast of celebs competing against each other. Peacock confirmed on Friday, June 13, that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna, Travis and Jason Kelce‘s mother, Donna Kelce, Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother, Stephen Colletti from Laguna Beach, former […]
The Traitors season 4 doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but if prior seasons are any indication, we can expect the first episodes to hit Peacock in early January 2026. In the meantime, keep scrolling for what Donna’s family has said about her chances.

It’s all love between Donna and her kids, but Travis joked that he and his brother are the only ones who have seen his mom’s “evil side” — sometimes an essential to surviving Alan Cumming’s twisted game.
“We’ve seen the evil side of Donna. You guys haven’t,” he joked while speaking at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France in June. “There is no evil side. She’s the sweetest.”
Jason Kelce
Donna also has the support of her older son, Jason, though he doesn’t seem to have high hopes for her.
“I really am very looking forward to seeing how she does,” he said while sitting next to Travis in France. “Cautiously pessimistic.”
Kylie Kelce
Jason’s wife, Kylie, doesn’t hide that she’s a newcomer to reality TV. But as she said in a June episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, there’s no question she will tune in to see her mother-in-law.
“Have I watched Traitors? Not a whole season,” she said. “Am I excited to watch Donna? A thousand percent. I’mma cheer her on till the end of time.”
“I am not gonna lie though, her innocence and honesty is working against her,” Kylie explained. “Or for her? Ooo, if she’s a Faithful, maybe it works for her. We’re all on the edge of our seats. I’m excited. Come on, Donna! Win it!”
Ed Kelce
The Traitors is a hard game, even for legends of the genre. Ed, Donna’s ex-husband and father of Jason and Travis, couldn’t even venture a guess as to how she would do.
“I was lectured by your mother not to talk about it,” he told his sons in a June episode of the “New Heights” podcast.
Ed and Donna married in the 1970s, and after welcoming Jason and Travis in the 1980s, they divorced after 25 years of marriage.
“Haven’t got a f***ing clue. I don’t know,” Ed added. “I’m not a reality TV show type person.”
