Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole made their first public appearance as a couple in May 2017 at the wedding of Kansas City Chiefs player Jeremy Maclin, according to the Kansas City Star, from which Kelce shared a now-deleted picture of the two of them to Instagram.

The timing there is suspect, at least for one woman — Maya Benberry. If you don't know who that is, you may have missed watching Kelce's short-lived dating show "Catching Kelce" in 2016, where he narrowed down a field of 50 potential suitors to Benberry. Benberry called out Kelce and Nicole's relationship in a series of now-deleted tweets in May 2017. "When you and your ex broke up 5 months ago but you find out on social media that he has supposedly been in another relationship for 6..." Benberry wrote. "I have texts from him in February claiming he was single."

Benberry brought that all up again when Kelce and Swift's relationship was just starting in September 2023. She told the Daily Mail that when it came to Kelce, "Once a cheater, always a cheater." No public comment from Swift or Kelce at this time about Benberry's allegations.
