Travis Kelce’s dating history includes breaking up and making up with Kayla Nicole.
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.
Before pairing off with Kayla, Travis was on a reality dating show.
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 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.
Although Travis nor Zuri confirmed or denied reports that they dated, it seems Travis has his eye on someone new.
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.
From the looks of it, it seems the singer and athlete could soon update their dating status from single to taken!
