Travis Kelce<\/a> might have risen to household name fame by dating Taylor Swift, but even back in 2016 he was deemed famous enough to have his own reality TV dating show.<\/p>\n

His show was called, Catching Kelce, and the then 25 year old Travis announced he was ready to settle down and find his future wife.<\/p>\n

The series consisted of seven episodes featuring a whopping 50 women who were all eager to become the future Mrs Travis Kelce, one from each USA state.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the whole show was that Maya Benberry from Kentucky won Travis’ heart, and described him as her “perfect guy.”<\/p>\n

However, some of the other members of the show were more hesitant about Travis picking Maya, after his manager warned him that she seemed to similar to his previous ex.<\/p>\n

The pair ended up dating for around eight months after Catching Kelce finished before calling it quits.<\/p>\n

However, Travis Kelce has since admitted that he regrets during the show, explaining it was a “learning experience” that he’d “never” return to reality TV.<\/p>\n

He shared on The Pivot podcast<\/a>: “It was extremely awkward” and admitted he turned it down what felt like “100 times” and was only swayed by the amount of money they offered him.<\/p>\n

He revealed: “I was so bad financially my first couple year. I literally went through my first couple checks like it was nothing. My season checks, all that.<\/p>\n

“I was having so much fun, buying whatever the hell I wanted to do, going wherever the hell I wanted to.<\/p>\n

“So I heard about the situation where I can make six figures in two weeks? I was like, \u2018this is actually starting to sound a little better.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

However he also confessed that he didn’t like how he was portrayed on the show, saying: “At the end of the day, I don\u2019t think I got portrayed as myself. There were a lot of things that just made me uncomfortable.”<\/p>\n
