Donna Kelce is seeing history repeat itself with her granddaughters.
The 73-year-old is grandma — or “Dee Dee” as she’s affectionately known — to her son Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce’s four daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 7 months.
And during her appearance on the Tuesday, Nov. 6 episode of Kylie’s Not Gonna Lie podcast, which was recorded at Disney World, she opened up about which of her grandchildren reminds her most of Jason and of his younger brother, Travis Kelce.
When it comes to which of the girls reminds her most of Jason, Donna said “it’s gotta be Wyatt.”
Of the couple’s eldest daughter, Kylie said to Donna, “There was a time when Wyatt, I think she was around 2, and I remember her having a ‘tough moment,’ we’ll call it. And you were staring at her in a very observant way. And I looked at you and I said, ‘Is it giving you PTSD?’ And you said, ‘A little bit.’ ”

When it comes to the granddaughter who most reminds her of her younger son, Travis, Donna struggled a little bit.
“Well, it’s usually the second or the third child because they’re the ones that are fearless. And you’re learning with the first child,” she explained. “So I would have to say that Ellie probably is the one that throws herself off the couch without abandon. She has no fear.”

However, that hasn’t stopped Bennett from keeping Dee Dee on her toes. Donna shared that Jason and Kylie’s third daughter recently put her in her place.
“Just recently, Bennett came up to me, and she says, ‘Now what’s your name again?’ ” Donna said, laughing.
“Yeah. She’ll humble you,” Kylie said. “That one’s a little nuts.”
Now that she’s got four granddaughters, Donna also highlighted the biggest differences she sees between raising girls and raising boys.

“The thing that just amazes me is how they will sit down and do a craft for a certain period of time,” she said. “That wasn’t my experience. It was constantly running around, jumping off of things, getting into trouble, running out the door, starting the car up, you know, when they were three. They got into a lot of stuff,” she said of Travis and Jason’s childhoods.
