The Biggest Controversies Surrounding Travis Kelce

Maya Benberry may have beat out 49 other ladies for Travis Kelce’s heart, but she’s not exactly jumping for joy about it. The pair dated for five months after “Catching Kelce” wrapped, ultimately calling it quits in 2017. Benberry then publicly called out her former beau on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In screenshots captured on Instagram by The Shade Room, the model claimed Kelce cheated on her with Kayla Nicole, whom he swiftly dated after their breakup. 

“When you and your ex broke up 5 months ago but you find out via social media that he has supposedly been in another relationship for 6,” Benberry wrote at the time. Years later, after Kelce moved on to Taylor Swift in 2023, the “Catching Kelce” winner continued to blast her ex in the media. In a warning to the “Blank Space” singer, Benberry told the Daily Mail: “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!”

Benberry threw some serious shade, adding, “I’m sure by now [Taylor] has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her — and who is just using her.” She continued: “Only time will tell but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.” An insider close to Kelce called the accusations “a poor excuse of someone trying to get her 15 min of fame.”
