- Kylie Kelce says the silence “has only built up the anticipation to be able to watch it”

Kylie Kelce is used to knowing the inside scoop on her in-laws’ projects, but Donna Kelce’s trip to Scotland for season four of Peacock’s “The Traitors” broke that pattern. The 33-year-old mother of four tells News Of Losangeles that her 73-year-old mother-in-law “did not tell us much at all, which I respect, I respect.”
Donna Kept Quiet on Filming Details
While the Kelce family pursues separate ventures-Kylie gearing up for NBC’s Milan Olympics coverage and Donna becoming a viral reality-TV presence-the usually chatty grandma stayed uncharacteristically mum.
“You’ve got to keep the mystery alive,” Kylie jokes during an Aspen snowboarding session with three-time Olympic gold medalist Jamie Anderson.
Kylie hasn’t watched the episodes yet. She plans to binge them at home with “undivided attention,” even without the “inside scoop” she would have loved.
Anticipation Builds for Kylie’s Viewing Party
The secrecy strategy worked. Kylie says Donna’s tight lips “has only built up the anticipation to be able to watch it.” She adds, “I am 100% on board with her keeping everything a secret, even though I would have loved to have some inside scoop, but I’m so excited to watch it.”
Donna shares the screen with Bravo personality Candiace Dillard Bassett and Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir, among others, on the Alan Cumming-hosted competition.
Kylie’s Own Olympic Prep
Between cheering on Donna, Kylie is training for her new role as an NBC content creator at the 2026 Winter Olympics. She took her “first time ever” snowboard lesson with Anderson, vowing to “practice” after the taste of powder.
“Absolutely, I told Jamie I’m going to practice,” Kylie says. Cameras captured the lesson for her FAFO series.
Spotlight on Lesser-Known Athletes
Kylie’s Milan mission is clear: highlight athletes who rarely grab headlines.
“I’m so excited to get there to be able to shed light on athletes that might not be as closely covered as some of the more popular events that go on,” she explains.
She wants “human, personal” conversations that deepen viewer investment. “I would love nothing more than to get to talk to these athletes on a very, like, human personal level.”
Female Athletes Top Priority
Kylie is “particularly” eager to “connect with some of these female athletes” in Milan.
“It’s so much fun and it’s cool to make those connections because they truly believe that’s what makes us invested to be able to cheer them on even better than we could have if we didn’t know what their story was,” she says.
Key Takeaways
- Donna Kelce’s silence about “The Traitors” surprised even her inner circle
