Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become the center of global attention after confirming their engagement. The pair, who first went public in 2023, shared the news with a heartfelt post that sent Swifties into a frenzy.
The “Cruel Summer” singer captioned her announcement with, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” sparking a wave of celebration online.
Fans were so captivated that even a quick Google search of their names triggered celebratory confetti across screens.
Experts were quick to weigh in on Swift’s sparkling diamond, suggesting the ring could be valued at up to $1 million. Social media buzzed with comments like “Oh that ring is HUGE” and “The way that ring could buy my entire life,” showcasing just how invested the public has become in their relationship.
But as fans celebrated, a shadow from Kelce’s past began making headlines again. One of his former partners stepped forward to remind Swift of his history, reigniting old controversies.
Maya Benberry, who dated Kelce after appearing on his reality dating show in 2016, issued a clear warning directed at the singer. She told the Daily Mail, “Only time will tell, but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.”
Benberry added, “Taylor seems like such a fun girl with a beautiful spirit, so I wish her the best of luck, but I wouldn’t be a girls’ girl if I didn’t advise her to be smart.” She also previously described the NFL star as a “cheating narcissist” who would never change.
Her remarks, made before Swift and Kelce’s engagement, have resurfaced and gone viral again in light of the recent news. They stand in sharp contrast to the wave of positivity surrounding the couple, bringing a hint of controversy to the fairytale moment.
Another of Kelce’s exes, Kayla Nicole, who dated him for five years before their 2022 split, has taken a gentler approach. She explained in an interview, “Publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.”
While the engagement has largely been met with adoration, Benberry’s warning now lingers in the background, stirring debate among fans. Some argue it’s nothing more than a bitter remark, while others see it as a cautionary reminder for Swift.
For now, the newly engaged couple appear unfazed, enjoying the spotlight as one of the world’s most talked-about duos. But Benberry’s words have ensured that their engagement story carries more than just the glitter of a million-dollar ring.
