Discover all there is to know about Travis and Kayla’s breakup by continuing to read.
Why Did Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce Break Up?
Throughout their relationship, Travis and Kayla had multiple breakups and reconciliations. Online rumors that Travis had cheated on her surfaced after their brief breakup in 2020; he angrily disputed these claims in a since-deleted post.
“This isn’t the reason Kayla and I broke up—this is bogus news, a fraud. The football tight end wrote at the time, “Please take all your hate somewhere else,” according to Entertainment Tonight. But there were other unfounded rumors circulating about Travis and Kayla as well. Travis declared that he was single during an appearance on “The Pivot Podcast” earlier this year. The sportsman also addressed the “cheap” report from Barstool Sports, claiming that during their relationship, he and Kayla didn’t pay half of their costs.
During his podcast interview, Travis warned, “Don’t buy into that s**t.” “I never claimed to be in her corner. She led a pretty secure life both financially and professionally. You must be insane if you believe that I would never [assist] or that I would give her a few thousand dollars so she could buy food, or if I would give her some cash so I could buy food. Our connection lasted for five years. There was no consideration given to a hundred dollars here or a hundred dollars there. Even Kayla refuted the allegation, writing, “Not sure where y’all got this nonsense from, but it’s absurd and very false,” on X, the former Twitter platform.
What Did Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole Say About Their Relationship?
According to a screenshot from Kayla’s Instagram stories that TMZ obtained, she told Travis how they originally met when they were together.
In an Instagram Story that was later removed and was seen by TMZ, she said, “He had been following me and Insta-flirting for a few months.” No DM and all double taps. Kayla said, “So, on New Year [sic], I DM’d him after a little alcohol courage and a pep talk from @iqueenb (something like, ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?’). In his 2022 interview with E! News, Travis expanded on his then-girlfriend’s version of how they met.
The Chiefs squad member said, “I didn’t just go through every single pic and just start ‘liking’ it immediately.” “It was just following her and ‘liking’ the photographs that she was uploading and watching all of her Stories when Stories had first started coming out over the course of a month. She ultimately gave in on New Year’s Day, after I had been pursuing her for some time. New Year, new me, you know. She simply took a chance, stepped into my direct messages, and the rest is history.
Has Kayla talked about Travis and Taylor Swift’s Romance?
Taylor Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in September 2023. It was eventually disclosed that they had been dating for a few months after he attempted to get in touch with her at the same location during one of her Eras Tour performances.
Early in 2024, the couple seems to be still going strong following a demanding NFL season that ended with the Chiefs’ thrilling Super Bowl victory, which Swift witnessed. Swift is currently on an international leg of her tour, having been traveling back and forth between shows to attend as many of Kelce’s games as possible. Recently, in between gigs and Super Bowl festivities, he paid her a visit in Sydney, Australia.
