KANSAS, MISSOURI: Donna Kelce is a proud mother, especially of her younger son Travis and his heartening commitment towards his nieces.

In a recent promotional event, the 71-year-old talked about how Travis gives his one hundred percent when he's around the young girls.

“Uncle Travis is a very animated person around the girls," Donna told People, referring to her granddaughters Bennett, 10 months, Elliotte, two-and-a-half years old, and Wyatt, four.

"He talks to them, gives them quality undivided attention, and plays with them on their level with humor and amazing excitement," she added.

Kelce was recently seen interacting with Jason’s older daughter Wyatt on their podcast ‘New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.’

"Wyatt asked if she could say hi," Jason said before hoisting Wyatt onto his lap. Travis gasped and said, "Look at you!" as Wyatt responded, "Hi Uncle Trav!" "What's up girly? How are you doing?" he asked. "How was gymnastics?"

"What are you wearing? Tell Uncle Trav what you're wearing," Jason said before Wyatt excitedly answered, “a leotard!”

Travis also took time to interact with Elliotte and smiled profusely after seeing the toddler on screen.

In an interview, Jason’s wife Kylie Kelce told the outlet about her girls' bond with their uncle Travis. Our oldest, she's our boss. She's our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him. And I'm like, 'Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?' "

"She'll be like, 'Jump up and down.' He'll do it. 'Roll on the floor,' he'll do it. 'Be the pony.' He'll do it. So he's all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through."

Donna earlier said on Travis and Taylor's romance that she follows their lead in keeping their “stuff private” but also noted that “they are making it very clear” to the world, referring to their romance.

The mother-of-two recently partnered with Ancestry as she told E! News that Travis, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, can “compartmentalize” his personal and professional life, reports MEAWW.
