NFL star Travis Kelce pokes fun at his dating history, claiming he “didn’t have any girlfriends” before his current relationship with Taylor Swift. Speaking in the recent episode of the New Heights podcast, the veteran tight end and his brother, co-host Jason Kelce, welcomed a special guest in the show: their mother.
Jason asked their mom, Donna, if there was ever a time she didn’t like any of the women they dated. “You dated, but I never met any of them,” said Mama Kelce. However, Travis didn’t escape unscathed. “With Trav, I met one or two.”
The Kansas City Chiefs star jokingly denied it stating: “What? I didn’t have any girlfriends.”
The joke sparked interest, especially considering Kelce’s previous five-year, on-and-off relationship with sports journalist Kayla Nicole, which ended in 2022.
Private Relationship
Kelce and Swift have been dating since September 2023, when she made an appearance at one of his games. Despite their public profiles, the couple has kept their relationship largely private, opting to keep personal details away from the spotlight. Their decision to skip the 2025 Met Gala only added to speculation about their dedication to maintaining privacy.
Although the Kelce family has kept quiet about Travis’s high-profile love life, Jason opened up about his brother’s early days with Swift during a February episode of The Steam Room podcast, sharing some sweet memories.
While Travis Kelce pokes fun at his past relationships, paired with the couple’s efforts to minimize public appearances together have left fans curious about their relationship dynamics. The pair reportedly took a trip together earlier in 2025 but kept themselves out of the spotlight during their travels. Travis has been spotted out solo, while Swift has largely stayed out of the public eye.
