There are rumors that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are getting engaged, and while the couple has been together for over a year and a half, it feels like it was just yesterday that these two were falling in love while the Eras Tour was happening. While Travis hasn’t put a ring on it (yet) inside, sources say that they wouldn’t be surprised if a proposal happened soon. But what was Travis Kelce’s dating history like before this couple fell madly in love? Here’s a look at all of the tight end’s relationships pre-Taylor.
2016: Maya Benberry
Back in 2016, when Travis was on his own reality dating show called Catching Kelce and dated over 40 women, he ended up choosing the gorgeous Maya Benberry from Kentucky. However, after making claims that she was arrogant and full of herself, the two broke up just a few months after the show. Today, Benberry claims that Travis cheated on her and, in an interview with the Daily Mail, warned Taylor to be smart and stay aware that he might be using her.
2017-2022: Kayla Nicole
Maya Benberry might have technically been his first relationship in the public eye, but Kelce’s first major long-term relationship in the spotlight was with model and sports broadcaster Kayla Nicole. The two began dating on and off before Nicole decided to slide into Kelce’s DMs. They appeared on many red carpets together and had kind words to say about each other in interviews but ultimately split amicably in 2022. Nicole has been quiet since the breakup, but she did unfollow the wife of another football player on Kelce’s team who was seen hanging out with Swift.
