Donna Kelce — known not just as the proud mom of NFL stars Jason and
Travis Kelce, but also a rising celebrity in her own right — has become the latest victim of social media impersonation. The 72-year-old matriarch, adored by fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and admired by Swifties for her sweet bond with
Taylor Swift, is now dealing with an unfortunate online scam that has left fans both saddened and outraged.
A fake Facebook account causes concern among Donna Kelce’s followers
On Monday, Donna took to her official Facebook page to warn friends and followers about an imposter account pretending to be her. In a heartfelt message, she shared, "There is a post with my name on it and it’s not me. Just wanted to let everybody know to go out there and unfriend this person. She’s pretending to be me and it has a profile picture of me with my finger up to my lips, and a picture of me and my brother and sister-in-law."
Clearly frustrated, she added that she had already reported the fake profile and hoped Facebook would take swift action: "I have reported her and hopefully Facebook will take this down immediately."
Fans respond with support and sympathy for Travis Kelce’s mom
Donna’s post quickly gained traction, and fans flooded her comment section with love and sympathy. “Sorry that's happening, fb is the worst for removing those accounts!” one person wrote, while another said, “That s*cks but thanks for letting us know.”
Support poured in with sentiments like, “Way to take charge amazing Mama!” and “People can be weird. Sorry this is happening to you.” It was a reminder of just how much Donna Kelce has endeared herself to the public, especially as the Kelce family continues to enjoy the spotlight through Travis’s relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
To help fans distinguish the real Donna Kelce from impostors, she revealed in a follow-up post that she had secured a blue verification checkmark on her Facebook profile. This step aims to ensure followers can confidently interact with the real account while avoiding any confusion from malicious duplicates.
