(CNN) --

Seeing your kids succeed is what every parent wants.

But for Donna Kelce, the success of her two children will pose a conflict of interest.


Donna's two sons, Jason and Travis, are NFL stars, both stalwarts of their respective Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and on Sunday the entire Kelce family had a day to remember as both the Eagles and Chiefs won their ticket to Super Bowl LVII, which will be held in Arizona, where they will meet for the Lombardi Trophy.

When they do, Donna will officially become the first mother to have two sons who have met in the Super Bowl, according to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Donna commemorated her sons' arrival at the Super Bowl by tweeting, "#HeightsHighandUCBearcatSuperBowl," referring to both her sons attending Cleveland Heights High School and the University of Cincinnati.

Although they won't actually take the field at the same time, since they both play offense, Jason is an All-Pro center and Travis is an All-Pro tight end, the game will likely be difficult for Donna to watch as she each of his sons will try to win the second Super Bowl title of his career.

Both played vital roles in getting their teams to the finale of the 2022 season: Jason was a rock for the Eagles in their dominating victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship, and Travis finished with seven receptions for 78. yards and a

touchdown

against the Cincinnati Bengals, in the AFC Championship.

Unfortunately for Donna, unlike she has in the past, she was unable to see her two sons in action in their championship matches due to Sunday's match schedules.

Officially done being a Chiefs fan this season!!

In last year's postseason, Donna was able to rush from Tampa to Kansas City to watch the Eagles and Chiefs play their Wild Card games on the same day.

According to Donna, she saw Jason's game in Philadelphia before she saw Travis's game at Lincoln Financial Field.

"It's your hopes and dreams coming true, but it's your worst fears," Donna told FOX 8's PJ Ziegler.


"Someone is going to go home a loser, and neither of them is doing very well."
