Donna Kelce is not ready to step into the dating pool according to Susan Noles.

“Of course I talked to her [about dating],” Noles, 67, said to cohost Amy Robach after asking if Kelce, 72, was “ready to mingle” on the Wednesday, January 22, episode of iHeartRadio’s “I Do, Part 2” podcast.

Noles and Kelce spent some time together at the recent Kansas City Chiefs game. While the women were chatting, the Golden Bachelor alum teased that she “quizzed” Kelce about her love life.

“And honestly, she’s like ‘Really? I am good.’ She’s doing just fine,” Noles explained “She’s enjoying her life, as she should. I don’t think she’s where I am.”

While cohost T.J. Holmes was surprised that Kelce and Noles were discussing their love lives while watching the game, the reality star noted that she and Kelce were just catching up.

“We’re women. It wasn’t our first meeting, we know each other,” she said.

Noles explained that she and Kelce met “last year” while collaborating on a project together.

“We did a job for a company and we were hired again this year and [the game] was part of it,” she said. “We did filming all day … Donna and I go way back.”

It appeared that the women were in attendance to raise awareness about shingles for THRIVE@50+, a GSK campaign. Brooke Shields, Gina Torres and Roselyn Sanchez were also spotted at the game.

While Noles is on the hunt for her soulmate, Kelce is content with her life as is. Donna tied the knot with Ed Kelce in the late ‘70s. The couple welcomed sons Jason Kelce in 1987 and Travis Kelce in 1989. When both their boys got older, Donna and Ed divorced after 25 years of marriage.

Donna has been candid over the years about how she thought it was important for her and Ed to remain together for the sake of their family during those developmental years.

“My husband and I knew that our marriage was not working, but we stayed together for the kids,” Donna said in an October 2024 interview with Glamour. “Ours was a very friendly relationship. So, we could do that and make sure that their life was normal as possible. But in that one respect, I did stand still for several years until I could move on on my own.”

Ed echoed similar sentiments in the 2023 documentary Kelce, which followed Jason’s career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“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, with Donna adding that “trying to keep it all together when you’re being a parent is tough.”

Despite their split, Donna and Ed have remained on good terms as both parents have been spotted cheering on their sons on the football field over the years.
