In September 2023, Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> sent the internet into a frenzy with their rumored romance<\/a>, which the pop star seemingly confirmed when she showed up to support Travis<\/a> as the Kansas City Chiefs played against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium. Now, fans are trying to gauge what kind of boyfriend Travis is, and they\u2019re turning to <\/span>his ex-girlfriends<\/span><\/a> to find out. He previously dated Kayla Nicole<\/strong><\/a> for five years, but who is she and what has she said about their relationship?<\/span><\/p>\n With a career in sports journalism, it\u2019s no wonder that Kayla crossed paths with Travis. She graduated from Pepperdine University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in broadcast journalism in 2013 and became a host at major sports media outlets, including ESPN and Barstool Sports. She\u2019s also worked in entertainment news, having interviewed stars like Amy Poehler<\/strong> and Will Ferrell<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When Kayla isn\u2019t doing broadcast work, she\u2019s often modeling and working with fashion brands like Revolve, Savage X Fenty and Fabletics, as seen on <\/span>her Instagram<\/span><\/a>. She also has a passion for fitness and owns the brand Strong is Sexy.<\/span><\/p>\n Kayla once revealed on her Instagram Stories that she met Travis on Instagram. \u201cHe had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months. All double taps and no DM,\u201d she wrote. \u201cSoooo after a little liquid courage and a pep talk from @iqueenb (something along the lines of \u2018WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR\u2019) I DM\u2019d him on New Years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Travis later told <\/span>E! News<\/span><\/i><\/a> of how their relationship began, \u201cI didn\u2019t just go through every single pic and just start liking it immediately. It was over the course of a month\u2019s span, just following her and liking the pictures that she was posting and watching all of her Stories when Stories had first started coming out. I was just stalking her and then finally on New Year\u2019s, she gave in. And, you know, New Year new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs and the rest is history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Thankfully, Travis responded well to Kayla shooting her shot. The two began dating in 2017, but their relationship had some rocky points. They broke up and got back together at least once in five years before calling it quits for good in May 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The first time Kayla and Travis split was in August 2020. Fans noticed that Kayla had deleted their photos together on Instagram, and rumors swirled that Travis cheated on her with a \u201cBecky.\u201d However, he denied the rumors in a since-deleted tweet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis is fake news\u2026 a lie\u2026 and not why Kayla and I broke up,\u201d he wrote at the time, simultaneously confirming their split. \u201cTake all your hatred somewhere else please.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Travis and Kayla seemingly reconciled in November that year, with the NFL star calling the journalist \u201cmy girlfriend\u201d and saying she was \u201cthe absolute best\u201d in an Instagram Live with basketball star Chiney Ogwumike. However, they split again in May 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n At the time, a report from Barstool Sports claimed that they split because Travis always had Nicole \u201cpay half of everything,\u201d including the costs of dinner, travel and other outings, despite his $30 million net worth. Once again, Travis shot down the speculation via and interview on \u201cThe Pivot Podcast\u201d in January 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHow crazy is that?! Don\u2019t buy into that s\u2013t! I would never say that I was supporting her. She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career,\u201d Travis said. \u201cBut you\u2019ve got to be crazy if you\u2019d think I would never helped or gave her a couple thousand to grab some food or she gave me some money to go get some food.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued, \u201cWe were in a relationship for five years. A hundred dollars here and hundred dollars there wasn\u2019t even thought about, which is ridiculous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Kayla also responded to the report, writing on Twitter at the time, \u201cNot sure where y\u2019all got this nonsense from, but it\u2019s absurd and very false.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Since the rumors about Travis and Taylor began, Kayla has remained silent on her ex\u2019s potential new flame. However, Travis\u2019 other ex, Maya Benberry<\/strong>, shared her thoughts \u2014 and gave a warning to Taylor<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTaylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit so I wish her the best of luck but I wouldn\u2019t be a girls\u2019 girl if I didn\u2019t advise her to be smart!\u201d she said in an interview with <\/span>Daily Mail UK<\/span><\/i><\/a> on September 26, 2023. \u201cI\u2019m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her \u2013 and who is just using her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Maya continued, \u201cI can only hope that she comes out the teacher in this situation and not the student,\u201d noting that she could only speak about \u201cthe man that I knew him to be when we dated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOnly time will tell but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater,\u201d she concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n However, a source close to Travis told <\/span>Life & Style<\/span><\/i> of Maya\u2019s claims, \u201cThey dated for about five months, there was no time to cheat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Travis Kelce\u2019s Ex-Girlfriend, Kayla Nicole?<\/h2>\n
