Travis Kelce has made headlines when rumors swirled about a budding romance with the pop star Taylor Swift. The fans officially started shipping the couple after the singer was seen cheering for Kelce at a Kansas City Chiefs game. Later, they were photographed leaving the stadium together, looking quite affectionate.
Before his involvement with Swift, Kelce had his share of high-profile relationships, according to Page Six. In 2016, he starred in his own dating reality show, “Chasing Kelce.” The TE chose Maya Benberry as the winner at the end of this show. However, their relationship lasted only a few months. Kelce admitted the awkwardness of the show, hinting that he regretted ever doing this. Following his reality TV stint, Kelce dated a sports broadcaster and model Kayla Nicole from 2017 to May 2022. Despite some brief splits and rumors, the couple’s relationship ultimately ended without a publicly disclosed reason. Kelce and Nicole denied speculation that financial issues were a factor in their breakup.
In October 2022, Kelce was linked to “Access Hollywood” correspondent Zuri Hall, though neither party addressed the rumors. However, it was in 2023 that Kelce’s dating history took a new turn when he publicly expressed interest in Taylor Swift, sparking rumors that have since captured the attention of fans and media alike.
