The Golden Bachelor’s Susan Noles appears to be BFFs with Donna Kelce.
Susan, 67, shared a photo of herself and Donna, 72, ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, January 18, at KC’s Arrowhead Stadium.
“Game Day Kansas City Baby with Donna #noles #kelce #gameday #moms,” Susan captioned the photo, shared via Instagram on Saturday. In the pic, the unlikely pair showed off their game day ‘fits in what appeared to be a hotel hallway.
Donna opted to rep her son Travis Kelce’s team in a bedazzled black “Kansas City” jacket, while Susan missed the memo and wore a now retired Jason Kelce Philadelphia Eagles jersey. (Susan is from Aston, Pennsylvania — a town just outside Philly — so the ensemble choice was understandable.)
Philadelphia’s ABC Action News correspondent Alicia Vitarelli commented on the post, “The best duo to ever do it!!!!!!!”
Susan also shared photos from the game via Instagram Stories, posting snaps of herself with Donna and actress Brooke Shields as well as clips from the VIP suite.
It appears Susan and a handful of notable women were at the Chiefs game to raise awareness about shingles for THRIVE@50+, a GSK campaign. Shields, 59, Donna, and others, including actresses Gina Torres and Roselyn Sanchez, helped spread word about the brand’s mission.
The women all wore friendship bracelets — à la Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift (who was also at the game cheering on her man) — with words like “thrive,” “resilient” and “intentional.”
And while most wore Chiefs gear, Susan stood behind her outfit choice.
“[Susan] is wearing Jason Kelce’s jersey for the Eagles even though we’re at a Chiefs game,” influencer Robin LaMonte said in a video of Susan on Instagram Stories. “Representing the brother.”
“Yes!” Susan said, smiling.
Jason — who played center for the Eagles until his retirement in 2024 — celebrated his brother’s stats and career on ESPN Saturday.
“[Travis is] such a competitive guy and he’s surrounded by like-minded individuals who are highly, highly competitive by nature,” he told NFL Countdown’s Ryan Clark, Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears and Kirk Cousins. “The thing I’ve really enjoyed watching — obviously, the receptions and all the stats and everything in his career culminating into some of the most absurd numbers you’ve ever seen is impressive — but I love just watching the whole ride from just a youthful energetic young kid who’s excited to be out there and happy to be realizing his dream to now being this composed veteran presence who still is, like, angry now and then but, it’s just, you’ve seen the whole career arc of him.
Jason, 37, continued, I” just couldn’t be more proud of where he is now, the leader he is. You can see how much the team gravitates toward him and how much he’s really embraced that role. He’s also got a fantastic beard, which I’m also very proud of.”
After playing 13 seasons in the NFL, Jason now appears on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown and hosts late-night show They Call It Late Night.
As for his brother’s future retirement, Jason evaded the question, joking, “If he isn’t satisfied yet, I don’t know if he’s ever gonna be satisfied.”
