‘The Pivot Podcast’ often hosts some of the dignified personalities in the sports fraternity. Interestingly, the Chiefs star appeared on the recent episode and spoke on diverse topics, including his private life. As one could expect, his past relationships remained a highlight of the entire session. When asked about the reality of those rumors, he quashed them in the first place and asked why he would do anything like that.

“How crazy is that? Don’t buy into that s-t!” Kelce said to the panelists consisting of Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, and Ryan Clark. “I would never say that I was supporting her. She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career,” he added.

“You’ve got to be crazy if you think I’d never helped or gave her a couple of dollars to grab some food or she gave me some money… We were in a relationship for five years. A hundred dollars here and hundred dollars there wasn’t even thought about, which is ridiculous,” he added.
