Donna Kelce knows her ex-husband Ed well.

During a special appearance with her sons Jason and Travis Kelce on their podcast New Heights, Donna proved that she could perfectly predict Ed and his parenting style.

Travis, 35, and Jason, 37, had Donna listen to a listener’s voicemail asking for advice with her five-year-old daughter. A 22-year-old woman called in and told the Kelces that her daughter “keeps going around telling people in Walmart, or anywhere we go, that I stole her.”

The caller said she keeps getting “weird glances” and is wondering how she can “fix” the issue.

Donna said, “Oh man,” upon hearing the woman’s ordeal, but before she could offer her advice, Travis said, “Dad said that it would have been me doing that. Can you please tell the world who it really would’ve been?”

Without missing a beat, Donna said, “It would’ve been you,” prompting both of her sons to burst into laughter.

Travis asked, “What do you think Ed Kelce would have said in this moment? If I was at the grocery store and I was telling everybody that he stole me?”

Donna predicted, “He would say, ‘F—,’ you know, like, ‘Knock it off,’ and he would say, ‘I’ll give you something to cry about.’ ”

Her premonition turned out to be nearly word-for-word, and the New Heights social media accounts cut the clip to flashback to a moment earlier this year, when the brothers played Ed the same voicemail and got his take.

“What would my reaction be? ‘Shut the f— up,’ ” Ed said, to laughter from his sons.

Donna and Ed married in the ’70s and welcomed their first son, Jason, in 1987. Two years later, Travis arrived, making them a family of four. The brothers were raised in Cleveland Heights, Ohio before both playing football at the University of Cincinnati.

Over the course of their 25-year marriage, Donna and Ed faced issues, but “decided that we would be married throughout the entire time that the kids were in the house,” Donna said on an episode of The Martha Stewart Podcast that aired in May 2024,

Ultimately, the couple decided to divorce after both sons graduated from college.

Donna and Ed opened up about choosing to stay together for as long as they did in the 2023 documentary Kelce, which followed Jason through his decision to play another season with the Philadelphia Eagles before he announced his retirement in 2024.

“If we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support,” Ed explained in the film.

Brenda Song is proud of her heritage — and she’s making sure her children are, too.

The 37-year-old actress, who is of Thai and Hmong descent, reflects on growing up in a “tight-knit” community where language and culture were deeply rooted.

“My parents growing up would only speak to me and my brother in Hmong at home,” Song shares with PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “I’m so incredibly grateful that my parents made such a point that we didn’t lose our language or culture. We are a very tight-knit family. With my parents being refugees, I think it makes you stay even closer.”

Now a mother to two sons — Dakota, 4, and Carson, 2 — with partner Macaulay Culkin, The Last Showgirl actress is passing down those same traditions. “Every single night, my kids say ‘Good night’ and ‘I love you’ in English and also Hmong,” she says. “It’s about helping them understand that this is a part of who they are. My parents, cousins and grandma are here all the time, so it’s nice for my kids to experience both sides of their heritage. I don’t want them to lose that because it’s really easy, especially in LA.”

Song’s pride in her Thai and Hmong roots extends to every part of her life. “I always like to joke that when I started dating my partner, I’m like, ‘Oh, honey, you’re not just dating me. You’re dating my entire family,” she laughs, referring to Culkin, 44. “My mom literally has a room in our house. We also taught Mac how to speak some Hmong, and my grandma brought the boys and Mac traditional outfits, which is amazing.” 

Throughout her career, from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody to Netflix’s Running Point, Song has remained grounded in her identity while demolishing Asian stereotypes in Hollywood.

“I truly believe Disney was ahead of the curve,” she says, reflecting on her breakout role as London Tipton. “They were allowing me to even audition for these roles and to star in my own projects without having this huge conversation behind it all. For kids to see themselves represented on TV in any way is so important. Sometimes you feel like, ‘Oh, is there even a place for me?’ I’ve struggled with that my entire career. Disney was trying to change that. They were mirroring what the world actually looks like.”

Talking about Running Point, she adds: “I was sort of at this crossroads, having been a new mom, not quite understanding again where I fit in this industry. Then I met with the creators, and within five minutes, I was like, ‘I’ll do anything to be part of this show.’ Working with Mindy Kaling has been really eye-opening because she’s made such strides in the AAPI community, pushing for strong stories and roles for East Asian women. Being able to speak Hmong on the show and represent my community means so much to me. And working with Kate has been such a dream, because, obviously, it’s fricking Kate Hudson.”

Reflecting on her journey, Song shares a message she hopes others will take to heart.

“Sometimes you walk into a room and think, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m the only Asian actress here. They’re not going to want me because they’re looking for something else.’ But you can’t let that stop you,” she says. “If you love something and you work hard enough, anything is possible. You have to believe in yourself, because if you don’t, no one else will.”
