When the final whistle blows on Super Bowl LVII this Sunday, one of Donna Kelce's boys is going to need a hug.

Well, both of them will, but for entirely different reasons.

Donna Kelce has been one of the stars of Super Bowl week, with her sons — Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce— set to become the first pair of brothers to ever play against each other in a Super Bowl.

"My mom can't lose," Travis Kelce said after the Chiefs punched their ticket to the Super Bowl, assuring a matchup against his brother and the Eagles.

In a way, Travis was right. Donna Kelce is guaranteed to have a winner on Sunday. But she's also guaranteed to have a loss, and that is tough.

Donna knows that both of her sons will need her support on Sunday, both the winner and the loser, but admitted that the winner would be getting her first hug of the night.

"It's logistics," Donna explained to Insider, while walking the red carpet at NFL Honors on Thursday night. "In the Super Bowl, only the winners are allowed on the field. The losers have to go to their room."

Regardless of the outcome, Donna has a plan of loving attack.

"I will go down, I will be very celebratory with my children, whoever is up there getting the trophy," Kelce said. "And then I will go to the hotel where the other team is and I will give him a big hug and tell him that I really love him. That I know he gave everything he had, and that there's nothing that I can say that can make it any better."

Donna Kelce has already been a top feature at several events at Super Bowl week, including making an appearance at opening night where she delivered cookies — chocolate chip with both white chocolate and milk chocolate chips — to her sons on stage.

Kelce explained that there was more to that delivery than met the eye from afar.

"I gave them a card with my heartfelt thoughts on Monday with the cookies," Kelce said. "I know my son Jason, he never looked at it. Probably doesn't even know there's a card on top. But Travis probably read it. Maybe. He said the cookies are gone."

And what was her message to her boys?

"I just told them to leave it all out there and try their hardest and they'll have no regrets."

Knowing her two sons, leaving it all out there will not be a problem.

And besides, they aren't just playing for a Super Bowl any more. They're playing for the rights to mom's first hug on Sunday night.
