Resurfaced Video of Donna and Jason Kelce's 'Heartwarming' Mother-Son Moment Makes Fans Emotional
Jason Kelce poses for a photo with Donna Kelce
As the world waits patiently to hear directly from Jason Kelce on whether he's officially played his last game in the league or not, the NFL is looking back on some of their favorite milestones from throughout the star center's career, including the touching moment he reunited with his mom after the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to brother Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs during last year's Super Bowl.
A camera crew managed to capture the moment Donna Kelce approached her oldest son on the field, which was covered in Chiefs-themed confetti. The two immediately pulled each other into a tight hug as Jason said, "Hey, Mom," in a watery voice.
"I love you," she said, patting his back firmly. "Good job."
As they continued to embrace, she told him, "It was so fun watching you all week."
Eventually, Jason kissed her on the cheek before they separated, telling her to "go celebrate with Trav."
Fans were made especially emotional by the sweet clip, as it was posted shortly after the NFL seemingly confirmed that Jason had told his team in the locker room that he wouldn't be returning next season.

The heartfelt interaction "got" one football fan, who doesn't even care for the Chiefs or the Eagles.
"Travis and Jason are great but I am a huge Donna Kelce fan," another asserted.
"It's incredible to witness the bond and joy shared between players and their loved ones..." another wrote of the "heartwarming moment."
"The connection between them after Super Bowl LVII is truly heartwarming also creating a special and memorable moment," someone else agreed.
"I’m not crying. You are," another fan wrote in the replies, while someone else begged, "Don’t keep doing me like this!"
Unfortunately for them, we have a feeling that the most emotional clips are yet to come.
