Travis Kelce may have already chosen his football franchise for life. However, he is definitely still on the free agency list. Off-field, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hasn’t shacked up with anyone after his last breakup, and the record-breaking athlete has his reasons for staying single.

Travis has tried his hand at the dating phenomenon. The ‘Catching Kelce’ actor even tried the reality TV lot out. However, Kayla Nicole was clearly special to Kelce. And the tight end is even rumored to have liked his ex’s Instagram photos coupled with some harmless online stalking, recently.

However, one of the main rumors that came out of the celebrity break-up last year was Chief Kelce’s frugalness. And Travis couldn’t help but crack out in laughter when the question came up on the podcast. “Don’t buy into s—t,” Kelce said. “I would never say that I was supporting her. She had a very financially stable life. But you gotta be crazy if you think I’d never help her. Or gave her a couple of dollars to grab food or like that. I mean, we were in a relationship for 5 years. A hundred dollars here and there wasn’t even thought about,” he added.
