Kelce and Nicole—an on-air sports journalist—had an on-again, off-again relationship for years. When they split in 2020, Kelce quickly denied rumors that he cheated. “This is fake news… a lie… and not why Kayla and I broke up,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

In an interviewwith the Daily Mailshe not-so-subtly accused him of cheating on her:

Taylor seems like a fun girl with a beautiful spirit. I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart! I’m sure she has mastered seeing who is truly there for her—and who is just using her. Only time will tell, but the saying holds: once a cheater, always a cheater.

The cheating accusation remains unproven. A source close to Kelce toldTMZBenberry’s claim was the "poor excuse of someone trying to get her 15 min of fame."

Current Relationship Status: We lack information on how these two feel now. Tabloids provide the only data on the relationship, so we might never know what truly happened.
