Travis Kelce responds to his mother's remarks about his romantic life prior to dating Taylor Swift
In an amusing turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs' star Travis Kelce found himself in an embarrassing situation during a podcast episode, as his mother Donna brought up his love life before meeting pop sensation Taylor Swift. The Kelce brothers invited their mom for a Mother's Day special on their podcast, New Heights.
Donna, not one to mince words, spilled the beans on Travis's past girlfriends when Jason inquired if she ever liked any of them or Travis's wife Kylie. Remarking on Jason's lack of romantic encounters, Donna joked, " you really didn't bring a lot of ladies home," before adding, "I knew nothing of anybody that you guys were dating in college."
Travis was taken aback by this revelation, insisting he didn't have any girlfriends. However, Donna pressed on, recalling that she had met a couple of his college sweethearts. Travis and TV personality Kayla Nicole had been an item for five years before parting ways in 2022. By the summer of 2023, Travis began dating the Grammy winner, Taylor Swift, igniting a whirlwind romance that has captivated fans worldwide.
Looking back at their relationship timeline, Travis attended Taylor's Eras Tour in July 2023, marking the beginning of their public appearances. By October, dating rumors were rife after Taylor attended several of Travis's NFL games. Their relationship became official when they were spotted holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty in October 2023.
Throughout 2024, the couple continued to support each other at various events, maintaining a high-profile, long-distance relationship due to their busy schedules. As of April 2025, sources close to the couple have described their relationship as "very serious and in sync," with speculation about a possible engagement brewing.
