Candiace Dillard Basset formed a close bond with Donna Kelce on the forthcoming season of “The Traitors.”
“Donna is America’s mom [and] she was also our castle mom,” the “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum told Page Six’s Evan Real and Danny Murphy at the “VRT” Awards sponsored by Tri-State Cadillac and Malibu Wednesday night.
“I’m still waiting for her to bake me some cookies, and she owes me some [Kansas City] Chiefs tickets,” Dillard Basset cheekily added.
“She’s really hard to get in touch with,” the Bravo alum, 38, added before joking that she was going to put out a broadcasting alert to get her co-star’s attention.
Dillard Basset also noted that Kelce, 72, is a “gem” and raved over how the cast “loved her.”
She also claimed the matriarch was a “big reality TV” fan and would chat about the shows she watched.
“Donna is really … cool. Look at her sons,” Dillard Basset continued, referring to Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce.
“She got these amazing, successful swaggy sons. She’s just like a cucumber — chillin, but I would talk to her … [and] she would go into shows she was watching.”
The “Drive Back” songstress — who performed at this year’s “VRT” Awards — pointed out that Donna should attend next year’s show given her love for reality TV.
Donna and Dillard Basset were announced in June as part of the cast of Season 4 of “Traitors.”
“Sundays were just the beginning,” the football champs’ mom captioned a clip via Instagram at the time.
“I raised two playmakers, but now it’s Mama’s turn 🃏⚔️,” Donna added in the post at the time.
Other contestants for the upcoming season include “Survivor” alums Natalie Anderson and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho, “Dancing with the Stars” star Mark Ballas and “Love Island” alum Maura Higgins.
An estimated $250,000 prize will be awarded to the contestants who successfully partake in the murder mystery game and complete a series of missions, per a press release.
The new season of the Peacock show will be released in early 2026.
