Nash-Betts showed her support for herGrotesqueriecostar at his Sept. 30 Kansas City Chiefs game against the L.A. Chargers, and she tells PEOPLE that her takeaway from the experience had more to do with Travis' mom than anything else.

“We had a time,” she says of cheering on Travis, 35, at SoFi Stadium last month. “And you know what? I love his mom. Mama Kelce is my girl.”

“I love her so much, so I watched with her,” Nash-Betts, 54, continues. “She’s just such a huge supporter of her children, and I love that.”

Before attending the game,the actress told PEOPLE she was planning to go see him playwith her “better half,” her wifeJessica Betts.

“I’m going to get to see him, but also I saw him play in theSuper Bowl. But we didn’t know each other then,” she said. “Now it’s different.”

“At first it was just, like, the game. And now it’s like, ‘Oh, there’s my friend Travis. Hey Travis!’ That’s different. It’s personal now,” she added.

“But I thought Niecy, obviously, she’s the pro, she did a great job,” Donna said, before calling her son’s performance “really awesome” and “almost surreal.”

“He seemed like he was kinda, like, in a cloud, I don’t know how to explain it,” she said of his first scene in the show, while Nash-Betts said Travis “was giving movie star vibes.”

“😂 😂 😂 THANKS FOR SUPPORTING NIECY!” the tight end commented on his costar’s post.

“I think that he definitely had a good time,” she says. “I think that his focus is football, but when he’s not in season or retired, I think it’s definitely something he will revisit.”

Nash-Betts adds, “Some people can do it all.”
