Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark made her way to the sideline in pre-game warmups to say hello to “Mama” Donna Kelce, mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
The two shared a warm embrace and had a brief chat before tipoff and the moment has already gone viral on social media.
Donna Kelce wore a shirt designed with “Caitlin” on the front and Clark’s No. 22 jersey on the back in a nod of unwavering support for the WNBA star.

The viral moment was posted on the Fever’s official social media pages and on video and immediately caught the eye of NFL star Travis Kelce.
In line with fans across the country, Travis responded to the post with a comment of his own:
A die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, Clark’s ties to the NFL franchise and the Kelce family are well-established. She celebrated the team with her design for her next Nike signature shoe line – giving Chiefs head coach Andy Reid a pair of her “Sea of Red” Caitlin 1s the day she launched the shoes.
