Who are Travis Kelce's Ex-Girlfriends? Exploring His Past and Current Relationships

The Gist:

• Travis Kelce starred on the E! reality dating show called Chasing Kelce in 2016.
• His was dated Kayla Nicole on-and-off again from 2017 to 2022.
• Travis and Taylor Swift first sparked romance rumors in September 2023 and went public with their relationship in October that same year.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has made his fair share of headlines lately, mainly because of his spectacular performance on the field during Super Bowl LVIII (which his team won). The other reason? Travis's relationship with American pop and country music singer Taylor Swift.

Although Taylor and Matty Healy were reportedly dating sometime around May 2023, the "I Can See You" singer has moved on.

While plenty of Travis's teammates and friends have settled down, Travis hasn’t taken that trip down the aisle yet. Here’s what we know about the NFL player’s romantic past and present — and maybe even his future.

Travis doesn’t seem to share too much about his personal life on his Instagram. However, according to Page Six, the pro athlete was previously linked to Kayla Nicole (they go as far back as 2017), although the pair is no longer together.

The sports star spoke about Kayla in December 2020, telling TMZ, "She's the best. She's the absolute best." So who is the lucky lady who snagged Travis’s heart over the course of five years? According to Us Weekly, she’s a graduate of Pepperdine University who now works as an interviewer of professional athletes.

The couple met on social media, with Kayla, who has also worked as a model, revealing, "He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months.” They frequently hit red carpets together, and she has even developed a close friendship with Brittany, with the two WAGS previously working out together as recently as January of 2023. More on why that's somewhat scandalous in a moment. First, Travis has a very interesting past when it comes to finding women.

Back in 2016, Travis starred on an E! reality show called Chasing Kelce. The NFL star found love on the competition series, choosing Kentucky native Maya Benberry in the end zone. Although he told his soon-to-be girlfriend she seemed somewhat arrogant and said during the finale, “I have been attracted to women like that my entire life, and those relationships didn't work because of that. I don't want that anymore.” Travis ultimately walked away with Maya, per E! News.

But after eight months, the reality romance had fizzled, and Travis quickly moved on with Kayla. The two dated on-and-off again, but ultimately split in 2022.

We don’t know where the athlete stands on the issue of marriage, but per Republic World, Kayla previously hinted on social media that she is “ready to be a wife.”

But going to the chapel doesn't seem to be in the cards for the couple, as rumors began to spread that the Chiefs player had called it quits with Kayla at the end of 2022 — although she seemed to still be attending games in October 2022, per her Instagram — and started dating Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall, per Barstool Sports. However, neither Travis nor Zuri confirmed or denied reports that they dated.

Travis and Nicole initially broke up over cheating rumors in 2020, but later rekindled their flame. The two broke up for a second time in 2022 after Travis allegedly put into place a 50/50 rule that required each to pay for half of everything, Barstool Sports claimed in an article.

After rumors began stirring that he and Taylor were dating, the two were spotted leaving the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City after the Sept. 24, 2023 game. Oh, and prior to departing the stadium side-by-side, Taylor spent the evening in Travis's suite, enjoying the game beside his mom.

By October 2023, Taylor and Travis had taken their relationship public, and have since been engaging in major PDA.

Taylor attended Super Bowl LVIII, rooting her man on in a private suite alongside Ice Spice and Keleigh Sperry Teller. Following the Chief's big win, Travis and Taylor shared a romantic kiss on the field.

While we don't know what the future holds for Travis and Taylor, the two are clearly smitten with each other!
