Travis Kelce breaks silence on Kayla Nicole relationship and slams claims he was a cheap boyfriend

TRAVIS Kelce has broken his silence on rumors surrounding his breakup with model Kayla Nicole.An eight-time Pro Bowl tight end, Travis had been at the center of rumors claiming that the 33-year-old’s breakup with Kayla, 30, was driven by his tight grip on the purse strings.

Barstool Sports reported back in May that, per a source: “They dated for five years and throughout those years, Kayla got only $100 from Travis so do the maths and get how much he gave her each month.

“Travis Kelce was giving Kayla $3.7 each month. Kayla had complained before about not getting expensive gifts.”

The report also cited a supposed friend who had reportedly told them: “Travis is very cheap. In the beginning he tried to make Kayla ‘prove’ that she wasn’t with him for the money … so she had to pay half of everything.”

This supposedly included: “half of every date, every trip, everything.”

This raised eyebrows given that Travis has earned over $64.7million from his contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs alone during his ten seasons in the NFL.

But when asked about these rumors during [a recent appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Kelce warned them “Don’t buy into that s**t!”

He went on to elaborate: “I would never say that I was supporting her.

“She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career.

“You’ve got to be crazy if you think I’d never helped or gave her a couple dollars to grab some food or she gave me some money … We were in a relationship for five years.

“A hundred dollars here and hundred dollars there wasn’t even thought about, which is ridiculous.”

Kayla also addressed these rumors shortly after the article was published, retweeting it with the caption: “Not sure where y’all got this nonsense from, but it’s absurd and very false.”

Whatever the reason for their split earlier in the year, Travis told The Pivot’s hosts Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor and Ryan Clark that he remains “in the free market right now.”

He explained that “I’m out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession, and got my feet up outside of football.”

The three-time First-Team All-Pro has plenty to be excited about when it comes to his football life after the Chiefs locked down the AFC’s number-one seed heading into the playoffs.

Travis and the Chiefs will have their eyes set firmly on reaching their third Super Bowl in the last four years come February.
