Soon after that initial encounter, Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce got serious. The pair tied the knot and eventually decided to start growing their family. Unfortunately, however, fertility issues got in the way of the couple's dream of having a baby, creating all sorts of disappointments. On the podcast, "New Heights," Donna opened up with her sons about this trying time. "We were trying to have kids. It wasn't working for us, for whatever reason."
One day, however, the couple's luck changed. Donna recalled, "I went in [to the doctor], and one day she just told me. She says, 'You're going to have a little one.' And I went, 'Woah.'" Nine months later, Jason was born. His younger brother, Travis, soon followed.
Fascinatingly, Travis' birth may have brought along one of the first little rifts that would eventually tear Donna and Ed apart. After all, when it came time to name the baby, Donna had something unusual in mind. As the mother of two shared on "New Heights," "There was another 'Travis' on a soap opera during the day. And I had just thought he was the most gorgeous man in the whole world. And I named you after him." Donna, though, was not forthright with Ed about this choice, telling him that she got the name Travis from a character on "Overboard." This tiny rebellion might have been an early sign that things between the couple weren't going to last.
