Donna Kelce was tight-lipped about her experience on Peacock’s The Traitors, her daughter-in-law Kylie Kelce tells PEOPLE.
As the Kelce family continues pursuing exciting new endeavors individually — Kylie, 33, is preparing for her debut as an NBC content creator at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, and Donna, 73, has become a viral sensation on the Alan Cumming hosted series — the Not Gonna Lie host says her mother-in-law kept mostly quiet about her trip to Scotland.
“She did not tell us much at all, which I respect, I respect,” Kylie tells PEOPLE during a trip to Aspen to prep for the Milan Games, where she took a snowboarding lesson from Olympian Jamie Anderson.
“You’ve got to keep the mystery alive,” Kylie jokes.

The mother of four admits she hasn’t yet watched Donna, 73, on the series, which also features contestants like Bravo star Candiace Dillard Bassett and figure skater Johnny Weir. “I’m waiting until I can get home and give it my undivided attention, but I’m so excited.”
And Donna sharing little about the show “has only built up the anticipation to be able to watch it,” says Kylie. “So I am 100% on board with her keeping everything a secret, even though I would have loved to have some inside scoop, but I’m so excited to watch it.”
“I love cheering her on,” Kylie says of Donna.

After a few hours of snowboarding for her “first time ever” with Anderson, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, Kylie says she definitely plans to get back on the board at some point.
“Absolutely, I told Jamie I’m going to practice,” says Kylie, who will take fans along for the lesson in an episode of her FAFO series.
With the Winter Olympics just a few weeks away, Kylie is gearing up to serve as an official content creator for NBC in Milan, where she’ll share stories of athletes like Anderson.
“I’m so excited to get there to be able to shed light on athletes that might not be as closely covered as some of the more popular events that go on,” she says. “I would love nothing more than to get to talk to these athletes on a very, like, human personal level.”
Kylie also says she’s “particularly” excited about “getting to connect with some of these female athletes” in Milan.
“It’s so much fun and it’s cool to make those connections because they truly believe that’s what makes us invested to be able to cheer them on even better than we could have if we didn’t know what their story was.”
