Travis Kelce’s Ex, Kayla Nicole, Shut Down A Rumor That They Broke Up Because He Was “Cheap”
In case you need context, Travis and Kayla started dating in 2017 and broke up numerous times — first in 2020 and again in 2022.
Amid their 2022 breakup, Barstool Sports reported an unfounded rumor that the pair parted ways over financial disputes, alleging that Travis was “cheap” and made Kayla “split every bill” throughout their relationship.
The rumor picked up traction online, and in January 2023, Travis addressed the chatter during an episode of The Pivot podcast, telling fans: “Don’t buy into that shit.”
And now, Kayla has addressed the rumor about Travis’s alleged stinginess, clarifying that finances were never an issue between them.
In response, Kayla shut down the “ridiculous” claim: “Do I look like anybody that would split anything? This is the question. Do I look like I would go 50/50 on bills?”
Reminding fans that Travis previously debunked the speculation himself, she continued: “I don’t even know why that even became a thing. That was never an issue in our relationship, but it was definitely a rumor on the internet.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, Kayla emphasized the importance of independence while giving advice about dating professional athletes.
“Always have your own,” she began. “Not even just your own money, but like, your own career, your own goals, your own aspirations, because it’s really easy to get caught up in their dream and their vision for their life.”
