‘She is just one of those individuals that takes everything onto herself,’ Donna said of Kylie. ‘She doesn’t need any help.Donna also revealed that while she has two sons in the NFL, having Kylie meant she had somebody to enjoy women’s sports with. However, their similarities go deeper than rooting for the same teams and athletes.

‘I think women’s sports, we both love that,’ Donna continued. ‘A lot of just really fun things. We’re just very similar in our likes and dislikes and how we feel about the world and everything that goes on in the United States.’

So yeah, we pretty much have the same temperature when it comes to what’s going on.’
