Travis Kelce’s neighbor, The Traitors star Wes Bergmann, has issued an apology after making a bold claim about the NFL player’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

On Tuesday, March 4, Bergmann—who lives next to Kelce in the Leawood, Kansas City gated community—took to X to clarify comments he made in February about when the couple started dating.

“Omg y’all I’m so sorry and confused,” the two-time The Challenge winner wrote. “Everything being reported on is none of my business. My contribution to this was taken out of context and said in what I thought was relative obscurity, but it obviously wasn’t.”

Bergmann explained that when Kelce moved into the neighborhood in November 2023, he told The Social Game Podcast co-host Michele Fitzgerald the relationship was “serious.”

“She didn’t believe me for six months. That was the intention of the comment,” he continued. “Again it was taken out of context but I shouldn’t be talking about it anyway. So consider this the last time I do.”

During a February episode of The Social Game Podcast, Bergmann briefly spoke with Fitzgerald and her co-host, Kellie Nalbandian, about living next to Kelce.

Listeners took his comments as confirmation that Kelce and Swift started dating six months before they made their romance public.

“I was like the first person to know about any of this stuff,” he said. “And I tried to tell [Fitzgerald] a long time ago, ‘They are together, just so you know’ and she didn’t believe it.”

He continued, “She didn’t believe it. She was like, ‘She only goes for artists. I beat the validating of her showing up to games and stuff by like six months.”

Bergmann also called the Chiefs tight end an “enigma.”

“On one hand, he’s like this big, tough football player,” he shared. “On the other, he’s going to have about 12 Taylor Swift songs written about him.”

In September 2023, Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship after the NFL star failed to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at one of her Eras Tour shows.

He mentioned his frustration on his New Heights podcast, they connected—and the rest is history.
