She shared on Instagram in 2022: \u201cHe had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n
They officially called it quits for the last time in May 2022 but she admitted finding a new man has been difficult.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt\u2019s kinda sad because I feel like dating in 2026 is just hard all the way around. I feel like the bar is in hell. So, my new list of requirements is: having a job \u2013 that\u2019s at the top of the list.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Nicole has not yet moved on to a new relationship, Kelce and Swift started dating in 2023.<\/p>\n
Although Kelce\u2019s first attempt to meet Swift backstage at Arrowhead Stadium during her Eras Tour failed, he told his New Heights podcast the incident led to friends setting them up.<\/p>\n
Appearing on the podcast last year, Swift said: \u201cThis podcast has done a lot for me. This podcast got me a boyfriend, since Travis decided to use it as his personal dating app about two years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was such a wild romantic gesture to just be like, \u2018I WANT TO DATE YOU\u2019. This dude didn\u2019t get a meet and greet, and he\u2019s making it everyone\u2019s problem. That\u2019s what I thought at first.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know he didn\u2019t even reach out to our management. When this podcast came out, I was like, \u2018Did he ever reach out to be in the [VIP] tents, or did we know he was in the building?\u2019 He came with Pat [Mahomes, Kelce\u2019s teammate], and he thought that because he knows the elevator lady, he could talk to her about just getting down into my dressing room.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis felt like I was in an 80s, John Hughes movie, and he was just standing outside my window with a boombox, being like, \u2018I want to date you!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is sort of what I\u2019ve been writing songs about what I\u2019ve wanted to happen to me since I was a teenager.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Kelce joked: \u201cAnd I was sitting there at the Eras Tour listening to every single one of those songs, like, \u2018I know what she wants me to do\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She shared on Instagram in 2022: \u201cHe had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months.\u201d They…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[115,156,78,60983,11209,111,139,2722,69,4056,21501,9979,3048,8692,223,2044,4942,25152],"class_list":{"0":"post-294756","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-calls","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-in","11":"tag-kayla","12":"tag-kelce","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nicole","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-person","18":"tag-reveal","19":"tag-right","20":"tag-said","21":"tag-split","22":"tag-the","23":"tag-time","24":"tag-travis","25":"tag-wrong"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
