Travis Kelce’s Locked in Pictures With Megan the Stallion Heat Up the Internet With Buzzing Rumors

While a typical free agency period for other players comprises trade negotiations and contract extensions, things are slightly different for Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs faithful is also on the free market, but more off-court than NFL-related. Travis has been a single man ever since his breakup last May. However, looks like Kelce is close to signing a fresh romantic contract. And no, it’s not another season of Catching Kelce. This time, it’s with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Based on the duo’s activities on their social media accounts and their recent appearance together during the Country Music Awards this week, the internet is speculating about a budding bond between the tight end and the musician. And the rumors have been cooking for quite some time now.

Are Travis Kelce and Megan Stallion the new couple in town?

The signs have been there for the last few months. First, Travis’ ex-girlfriend, who was with her for five years, Kayla Nicole, unfollowed Travis and Megan from her Instagram. Unfollowing her ex-boyfriend was a staple move. However, the doubts around Travis and Megan’s broiling romance strengthened when Kayla unfollowed Megan as well, despite previously being a fan of her music.

Another glaring piece of evidence in favor of the rumored relationship is the fact that Travis Kelce has made his way into his very exclusive following of Megan. The rapper only follows 182 people on Instagram, and the 2x Super Bowl champion is one of them. The duo shared some flirtatious glances and conversed for a while at the Moody Center during the CMT Music Awards. Multiple Twitter users noticed the evident spark between the two.

The rapper recently announced her single-hood after ending her previous relationship with fellow rapper, Pardison ‘Pardi’ Fontaine. According to rumors, it was the Chiefs 87 who invited Megan Thee Stallion to the award ceremony. And not only did Megan accept the invitation, but she also allegedly made the trip to Austin, Texas, in Travis’ private jet. But what happened to his earlier relationship with Kayla Nicole?

Why did Travis’ previous relationship end?

Before the Megan Thee Stallion linkups and the single free agent life, Kelce was in an on-again-off-again relationship with the model, social media influencer, and YouTuber, Kayla Nicole. Travis and Kayla faced the first bump on the road when the latter accused Kelce of unfaithful behavior. However, Travis vehemently denied them.

Then, the internet was abuzz with rumors that the relationship ended because Travis Kelce wasn’t much of a spender. Kelce also debunked those rumors during an appearance on The Pivot Podcast recently.

While the exact cause of Travis and Kayla’s breakup is still unknown, it’s safe to assume that their relationship had run its course. And with the private jet being sent in for his new rumored connection, Travis certainly doesn’t want the frugality speculations floating again.
