In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Maya Benberry is adding her two cents to the conversation about his love life with a stark warning.
Benberry, 31, dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for several months after winning his E! dating reality series Catching Kelce in 2016.
However, they soon split and the reality star went on to accuse the Super Bowl champ of cheating on her when he embarked on his next relationship with sports broadcaster Kayla Nicole in a series of now-deleted tweets.
May told the DM:
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.’
Benberry, who also works as a life coach, said she can only share advice based on:
‘the man that I knew him to be when we dated’, before adding: ‘Only time will tell but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.’
A source close to Kelce later denied the accusations, labeling her comments ‘a poor excuse of someone trying to get her 15 min of fame’.
Benberry accused him of ‘hypocrisy’ and asked: ‘If he can speak on his experience, why cant I?’
Who Are Travis Kelce’s Ex-Girlfriends?
Maya Benberry
He met Maya at his own reality dating show called Catching Kelce in 2016 on E!.
Kayla Nicole
Travis’ longest relationship was with Kayla Nicole, a sports broadcaster and model, from May 2017 to 2022, according to Page Six and Hollywood Life.
They started dating one year after Benberry when Travis began following and flirting with her through Instagram.
“I was just stalking her and then finally on New Year’s, she gave in,” he told E! And, you know, New Year new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs and the rest is history.”
According to Women’s Health they broke up for the first time in August 2020 after rumors that he was unfaithful, but he denied it over Twitter, per TMZ. “This is fake news… a lie… and not why Kayla and I broke up… take all your hatred somewhere else please,” he wrote.
A few months later, they got back together but then broke up again in May 2022.
Zuri Hall
In October 2022, rumors started that he was seeing Access Hollywood correspondent Zuri Hall, per Page Six. She was spotted in his family suite at a Chief’s game, according to Barstool Sports.
Plus, one of Travis’ friends shared a video of Zuri with him in the background, per Hollywood Life.
Some fans even noticed that Kayla and Zuri followed each other on social media—but then unfollowed each other as soon as the rumors began.
While neither have confirmed whether they officially dated, Travis shared that he was single in 2023, the outlet wrote.
and now Taylor Swift!
How Travis Met Taylor Swift
Talk about Taylor and Travis’s romance first started when Travis revealed on New Heights, the podcast he hosts with his brother and fellow NFL star Jason, 35, that he had hoped to get the Cruel Summer singer’s attention at her KC concert via a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
Unfortunately, Taylor had left the stadium before he could get it to her, but she found out about it after the conversation went public.
As speculation began to grow, his brother Jason — who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles — stoked the flames further during an interview on Audacy’s 94WIP Midday Show.
The Eagles center told the hosts that: ‘I don’t really know a lot about Travis’ love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world.’
He then added: ‘Having said that, man, I think they’re doing great and I think it’s all 100 percent true, and I hope this thing goes a mile — no, I’m joking, I don’t know what’s happening.’
Well, something happened because after the Kansas City Chiefs battled the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Taylor’s appearance at the game is all everyone is talking about.
She gleefully cheered on her rumored boyfriend as she joined his mother, Donna, in the stands in a special VIP section.
The Grammy winner sported a red and white-colored ensemble to show her support for the recent Super Bowl champions and appeared to be having a blast with Kelce’s mom as they shouted and cheered on the team and tight end.
The pair then left the stadium together in his vintage convertible and proceeded to hang out at a private afterparty at Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City.
Idk if it’s a publicity stunt I mean it probably is but Taylor Swift and Kelce make no sense together. Like everyone she has dated is the complete opposit of her

Rumors that Swift and Kelce dating has made Kelce’s personal brand absolutely explode.
“In the last 24 hours, he has gained over 300,000 social media followers, a 400% increase in merchandise sales, and a top-5 selling jersey in the NFL.”
Since exposing $NVDA with its irregular… https://t.co/tdvxspiTpN

My only beef with the T Swift and Kelce thing is that now my daughter wants a Chiefs jersey. Had a long talk about not rooting for other teams in the Conference. Could be a long year.
