Many are now curious about Travis Kelce’s dating history thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift. The famous sports star did not achieve worldwide fame until he started dating Swift, but his romantic past includes relationships with some high-profile women.
Here’s a look into Travis Kelce’s dating history prior to his current romance with the pop superstar.
Who Has Dated Travis Kelce?
Maya Benberry
Even before he started making headlines as Taylor Swift’s beau, Kelce was already used to being in the spotlight. In 2016, he even had his own reality dating show on E! called “Catching Kelce.” On the show, which was very similar to “The Bachelor” franchise, the pro football player literally dated 50 women—one in each U.S. state—at once.

During this time, he reportedly could not keep the women’s names straight and would often refer to them by state. At the end of the show, he ended up with Maya Benberry of Kentucky.
However they quickly realized he did not make the right choice. He apparently made some comments about her being “arrogant,” and after a few months of post-show dating, the two went their separate ways.
Benberry, now a life coach, accused Kelce of infidelity, but people close to him have denied that claim. She has also made several comments about his relationship with Swift.
“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,” Benberry said last year.
Kayla Nicole
Travis Kelce’s first publicized relationship was with sports broadcaster and model Kayla Nicole. They started an on-and-off relationship in May 2017 when Kelce began flirting with Nicole via Instagram. “I was just stalking her, and then finally, on New Year’s, she gave in,” he revealed in 2022.
“And, you know, new year, new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs, and the rest is history.” The relationship was great while it lasted, but it did come to an end in 2022. The split was seemingly amicable, and ever since, Nicole has maintained radio silence about what they shared or his current relationship with Swift.
Some observant fans, however, noticed that she unfollowed Brittany Mahomes—wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes—on Instagram after Brittany was seen spending time with Swift.
Zuri Hall
Travis Kelce moved on with entertainment reporter and TV personality Zuri Hall after he parted ways with Nicole. The pair sparked rumors of a romance when she was spotted in his VIP suite during a Chiefs game in October 2022.
The two were recognized as an item for a few months. However, by January 2023, Kelce was on the streets again. “I’m in the free market right now,” he said on the podcast The Pivot. “I’m out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession. Got my feet up outside of football.”
How Long Have Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Been Together?
Kelce and Swift started dating in the summer of 2023. Kelce set things in motion by attending one of her shows in Kansas City, Missouri, and trying to give her a friendship bracelet (a Swiftie accessory) with his phone number on it.
