Travis Kelce’s Former Girlfriends: Everything You Need to Know About the Kansas City Star’s Partners, Before Taylor Swift’s Grand Entry

In the lively world of celebrity romance, few pairs have sparked as much excitement as the whispers of a connection between Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and global pop icon Taylor Swift. The rumor has been working overtime, with fans on the edge of their seats, wondering if the love songs on Swift’s next album might feature a tight-end twist.

When the tight end was prodded about his feelings for Taylor Swift, he kept it secret, preferring to keep the matters of his heart “personal,” further giving suspense to the public. Sources close to the situation have noted that Taylor represents a different type of partner for Travis, signaling a new chapter in his life. But before we get caught up in the “Traylor” mania, let’s explore Travis Kelce’s past relationships.

Maya Benberry

Back in 2016, Kelce tried his hand at reality TV romance with “Catching Kelce,” where he courted 50 women, ultimately choosing Maya Benberry. Despite his attraction to her confidence, doubts loomed over their compatibility.

Their split was a media magnet, with Benberry suggesting unfaithfulness, a claim downplayed by Kelce’s camp. The whirlwind relationship was brief and, according to Kelce, rooted in the awkwardness of reality-show romance. However, Benberry, now a beauty blogger, opened up about her relationship with Kelce after rumors of him and Taylor Swift dating started cropping up.

Kayla Nicole

After his reality TV stint, Kelce entered a more enduring relationship with sports broadcaster and model Kayla Nicole. Their on-again, off-again activities went from 2017 to 2022, causing rumors and reconciliations.

Despite the ups and downs, including a baseless rumor that led to a public denial from Kelce, their romance showcased the twists and turns of a public relationship. Today, Nicole seems focused on finding her path, putting distance between her present life and her history with Kelce.

Zuri Hall

Back in late 2022, there was talk around town that Travis Kelce and Zuri Hall, the Access Hollywood presenter, might be more than just friends. This gossip came about when Zuri was seen hanging out in a very VIP spot at a Chiefs game, the kind of place reserved for family and close friends.

Adding fuel to the fire, a video popped up, thanks to one of Travis’ friends. It showed Zuri in the same place as Travis. It wasn’t a big, loud announcement or anything, but it was enough to make people think there might be something special going on between them. Fans who pay close attention to these things saw that Zuri and Kayla, who used to date Travis, were following each other on the internet for a little while.

Now, even with all this talk and their friends in common, Travis and Zuri never confirmed the relationship rumors. In the beginning of 2023, Travis threw a bit of cold water on all the rumors by saying he was single, which made everyone think that maybe the rumors were just that—rumors.

Taylor Swift

Despite a missed opportunity with a friendship bracelet, connections were made, and by late 2023, the rumors were circulating. Appearances at Chiefs games leaked photos of celebrations, and even a notable hand-holding moment had people whispering about the newest “it” couple. The storyline thickened with shared SNL cameos, seemingly unplanned, showing the couple in a light-hearted embrace of the media frenzy around them.

The chemistry between Travis and Taylor seems to be a blend of public attention and private connection. What sets this apart from his past relationships is the magnitude of the spotlight and the blending of two high-profile worlds: the end zones of the NFL and the grand stages of pop music.

As fans cut up their every move, one thing is clear: Kelce’s love life is as affecting as his game on the field. Whether the Taylor Swift rumors are true or just a fantasy football dream, it’s a storyline that keeps everyone guessing. And in the unpredictable game of love, as in football, anything can happen.
