Catching Kelce alum Maya Banberry, 31, provided the Travis Kelce, 33, dating advice when speaking with the Daily Mail.
Maya briefly dated the two-time Super Bowl champion after competing against 49 other women on the E! dating reality TV series, Catching Kelce.
During the show, contestants from all around the country vied for Travis’s attention in the hopes of dating the Pro Bowl tight end.
When discussing Taylor, also 33, Travis’ ex stated that she “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!”
Maya continued: “I’m sure by now she has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her – and who is just using her.”
The former E! star remarked that she hopes Taylor comes out as the “teacher” in the experience and “not the student.”
Maya admitted that she could only provide advice based on the Travis she knew when they but also threw a bit of shade when she added: “Only time will tell but like the saying always goes, once a cheater, always a cheater.”
The marketing and brand consultant accused the professional athlete of cheating during their short-lived relationship with several since-deleted tweets.
Maya claimed that Travis began a relationship with his most recent ex-girlfriend, sports broadcaster Kayla Nicole, 31, while they were still dating.
The New Heights podcaster’s alleged cheating was also rumored to have been the reason why he and Kayla parted ways.
Travis addressed the speculation head-on, stating: “This is fake news… a lie… and not why Kayla and I broke up… take all your hatred somewhere else please.”
BIGGEST FAN
Taylor cheered for Travis from a VIP suite, sporting Chief’s colors as Kansas City defeated the Chicago Bears.
A very animated Taylor was seen chanting throughout the game.
At one point she was even filmed screaming a rallying cry of “let’s f**king go” as she joined some of Travis’ closest friends and family.
Taylor was flanked by the attacking player’s mom Donna as the Chiefs beat the Bears 41-10 at the 76,000-capacity Arrowhead Stadium.
The superstar singer then headed to the locker rooms to celebrate with Travis and his team — with video clips spreading online like wildfire.
She has never talked about her love of the game throughout her decade-spanning career.
But her appearance was quickly the talk of broadcasters and fans.
TV giants showing the match, including Fox Sports, all cut away repeatedly to focus on the 12-time Grammy winner.
The NFL shared a banner with the result of the game with a giant image of Taylor squealing with joy at the Chiefs’ victory.
POST-GAME DINNER
After their very public debut, the pair drove off from the stadium together to continue celebrating.
The duo kept the party going until 2am at the trendy restaurant Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City.
Onlookers told how the pair were openly affectionate to one another but were keen to “keep things light”.
Pulling out all the stops to woo the singer, Travis splashed out tens of thousands of dollars to hire out the whole venue — resulting in an early exit for diners already there.
He persuaded the venue’s bosses to spring an “8pm hard close.”
Diners were given takeaway boxes for the rest of their food and offered free drinks as sweeteners.
An eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight: “Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team.
“Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis.
“The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and lighthearted.
“Travis’ teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mum and dad, Donna and Ed. The party lasted until 2am.”
The lavish day was thought to be Taylor and Travis’ first date.
The cocksure star previously outed himself as a Swiftie — a Taylor fan.
Speaking just last week, he revealed he had asked her to see him play with a cheesy chat-up line.
Travis told The Pat McAfee Show: “I threw the ball in her court.
“I told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead.
“You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So we’ll see. We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
