Maya Benberry's 'warning' to Taylor Swift about ex Travis Kelce splits Internet
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Maya Benberry, Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, has issued a strong warning to Taylor Swift as her new romance with the NFL star blossoms.
This comes after Benberry accused Kelce of allegedly cheating during their brief relationship. Benberry, 31, reportedly dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for several months back in 2016.
However, their relationship did not last long, and Benberry later made allegations against the Super Bowl champion, claiming he was unfaithful when he began dating sports broadcaster Kayla Nicole.

Benberry issued a pointed warning regarding her ex's high-profile relationship with superstar singer Swift in a recent interview.

She added, "I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her - and who is just using her."

She continued, "I can only hope that she comes out [as] the teacher in this situation and not the student."
Benberry, who is also a life coach, emphasized that her advice comes from her knowledge of "the man that I knew him to be when we dated."
She continued, "Only time will tell, but as the saying goes, once a cheater, always a cheater."

"If she'd really care, she'd give her a private call and not try to publicly humiliate them both," stated another.
