In place of his ex, model/influencer Kayla Nicole, tight end Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs was spotted with Taylor Swift over the weekend, sending social media into a frenzy.
Kelce’s romantic life has always been widely known, but never to the extent that it has in recent months. The NFL player appeared in his own dating program, “Catching Kelce,” three years after being selected by the league. Kelce selected Maya Benberry as the winner out of 50 females.
To avoid giving away the show’s conclusion, Kelce and Benberry’s fairytale romance was kept a secret, but after the release of the last episode, Benberry expressed surprise at the volume of racially driven criticism she faced as a Black woman. Benberry and Kelce’s romance was brief since less than a year later, Kelce began dating Kayla Nicole.
Nicole is a television journalist and influencer who is also Black. After Nicole said that Kelce had been “Insta-flirting” with her for a few months, the two began dating in 2017. Nicole claimed that she DM’d the NFL player after getting some “liquid courage.”
Despite dating for five years, the couple’s union was not without its problems. When Kelce and Nicole split up in 2020, several people thought it was because Kelce cheated. The tight end refuted the story in a post that has since been removed, calling it “fake news.” A few months later, the couple reconciled, but it wasn’t the last time rumors persisted about them.
The two allegedly broke up once more in May 2022, and this time it was allegedly due to Kelce being stingy. According to MediaTakeOut, a source informed them that Kelce had only handed Nicole $300 throughout their relationship.
According to the source, Kelce insisted that Nicole split the cost of “every date, every trip, everything” in order to demonstrate that she wasn’t simply with him for the money.
Until he appeared on “The Pivot Podcast” in January, Kelce remained silent. When confronted about the reports, Kelce acknowledged that the relationship was gone but stated, “Don’t buy into that s—t.” “I would never say I was supporting her,” Kelce stated.But if you think I never helped or never offered a few cash, you’ve got to be crazy.
At the beginning of the year, Kelce claimed to be in the “free market,” but soon after that episode aired, fresh suspicions emerged. As rumors about Kelce possibly dating Taylor Swift started to circulate, it dominated the sports world.
Stephen A. Smith, Pat McAfee, and Travis Kelce’s brother Jason all commented on the rumor. Swift took up the ball and fired back, according to Kelce, who claimed that he had already fired his shot at her.
Female supporters of Kelce expressed their opinions about his new girl on social media.
A “bigggg downgrade.”
“Let him have his vanilla bean; watch out for his new song in a year,” the person said. ”
All of you talk about how he upgraded this, but it has nothing to do with it, lol. It’s about how he changed his identity to fit the situation.
He needed to return to his origins.
