Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are just hours away from walking down the aisle together, with the whole of New York planning for their wedding day.
The couple started dating in 2023 before announcing their engagement last summer, telling fans that their “English teacher and gym teacher are getting married”.
Even before his romance with the Cruel Summer singer began, the Kansas City Chiefs player would regularly make headlines with his love stories regarding his exes – and even appeared on his very own dating show to find love.
Although none of those relationships got even remotely close to a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden, here are some of his most notable former partners.
Maya Benberry – 2016
Finding himself single and unlucky in love, the NFL star shunned traditional dating apps and instead turned to reality TV bosses for help – eventually landing his own dating show, Catching Kelce in 2016.
While appearing on the E! series, he made a beeline for Maya Benberry, who beat out her 49 fellow contestants for his attention. While their connection was evident on screen, things fizzled soon after the show ended and they went their separate ways.
Maya has since accused Travis of cheating during their short-lived romance – something he has fiercely denied.
She previously issued a warning to the bride-to-be, telling the Daily Mail: “Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit so I wish her the best of luck but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart!
“I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her — and who is just using her. I can only hope that she comes out the teacher in this situation and not the student.”
However, an insider later told Page Six that they “weren’t even together long enough for him to cheat on her” and “they dated literally less than three months, and they were contractually obligated to not announce their breakup.”
Kayla Nicole – 2017
Travis moved on from Maya with sports journalist Kayla Nicole – with the pair going public in 2017, after he reportedly slid into her Instagram DMs on New Year’s Eve.
Kayla was a regular fixture at the athlete’s games, and would regularly be seen proudly cheering him on in the stands. However, throughout their on-off romance, they were hit with rumours that Travis had cheated in 2020 – which he branded “fake news” at the time.
In 2022, they officially ended things for good. Although neither have spoken publicly about what led to their break-up, they separately squashed claims that it was because the Super Bowl champion was “cheap”.
“Do I look like anybody that would split anything?” she said in 2024 while on the Unapologetically Angel podcast. “No, this is the question. Do I look like I would go 50/50 on bills?”
Appearing on Special Forces soon after, she became emotional as she touched on the “overwhelming” reaction to the split, as well as Taylor’s intense fan base.
Zuri Hall – 2022
In the wake of his five-year romance with Kayla coming to an end, Travis was linked to Zuri Hall.
The speculation kicked off at the end of 2022, when the Access Hollywood reporter was seen watching a Chiefs game in his suite – but neither confirmed the claims.
She later told Page Six of the speculation: “I laugh that stuff off, particularly when rumours aren’t true. I … just let it all slide off [my] back.”
