Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce had an on-again-off-again relationship throughout the five years they were together. Keep reading to explore more details.

Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce's relationship timeline

Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce's relationship began with an Instagram DM in 2017. The 33-year-old sports reporter shared that Kelce has been following her for some time, and even liked several of her posts, but never reached out.

In 2022, she took to her Instagram stories to share:

"He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months... Soooo after a little liquid courage and a pep talk from [a friend] I dm'd him on New Years."

Nicole and Kelce started dating five months after the NFL player broke up with Maya Benberry.

By May 2017, the couple attended Kelce's teammate's wedding together, and the football player even posted a photo of them together, captioning it:

"peanut butter to my JELLYTIME"

The couple attended numerous red carpet shows together just one year into their relationship. They also attended sports events together, such as The Maxim Big Game Experience that was held at The Fairmont in 2019.

Not just that, the couple was seen everywhere together. They even attended the Thom Browne Menswear Spring Summer 2020 show during Paris Fashion Week.

In February of the same year, Kelce and Nicole were spotted on the courtside at a Lakers' game. However, just months later, there were rumors that the pair broke up due to infidelity.

Travis Kelce cleared up the rumors in a now-deleted tweet, writing:

"This is fake news … a lie … and not why Kayla and I broke up … take all your hatred somewhere else please."

After their first breakup, they both unfollowed each other on social media.

However, by November, Kelce revealed that they were back together during a live video with WNBA star Chiney Ogwumike. He said:

"So obviously we’ve got the fam. Mom, dad, brother Jason — big grizzly guy. Then my girlfriend Kayla... Kayla is definitely on the list. Always got to do it big for Kayla."

Two years down the line, in February 2022, Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce attended the 11th Annual NFL Honors together and went out on a double date with his fellow football player and his wife, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.

But after two months, the couple revealed that they had decided to split up for good. According to rumors, the reason why they broke up was because Kelce made Nicole pay for half the things they did together, which Kayla later claimed was false.

Kelce also spoke about the rumors during an interview on 'The Pivot Podcast'. He said:

"Don't buy into that sh*t. I would never say that I was supporting [her]. She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career... I mean, we were in a relationship for five years... A hundred dollars here and a hundred dollars there wasn’t even thought about."

Fast forward to 2025, Kayla Nicole has announced that she is single and even shared what she is looking for in her next man with Daily Mail. She said:

"I love a very honest man... A man of really great character. Someone who likes to have fun. Spontaneous, great relationship with their family, has really good girlfriends. The list is long!"
