TV host Zuri Hall shuts down Travis Kelce dating rumors, gushes over his Taylor Swift romance..
Zuri Hall is shaking off those Travis Kelce dating rumors.
The 36-year-old TV host chatted with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real on Tuesday during the 2024 Cannes Lions Festival, where she shut down speculation that she had a fling with the NFL player before he became involved with Taylor Swift.
“He is an Ohio guy, shoutout to Trav, definitely the homie,” Hall, a native of Toledo, said at Stagwell’s Sport Beach activation on the city’s famed Croisette.

The “Access Hollywood” correspondent — who came to the weeklong fest with NBCUniversal for several appearances at events convening media, marketing and advertising execs — noted that she is a fan of Swift, 34, and is enjoying watching her romance with Kelce, also 34, play out in the public eye.
“I love him and Taylor together; it’s been really fun kind of watching that blossom and bloom in public,” Hall said. “And yeah, Ohio all day.”
In October 2022, Hall sat with the Kelce family in a suite at a Kansas City Chiefs game, sparking questions about their relationship status.

The pair was later seen together in the background of a video shared by one of Kelce’s friends.
But there was nothing going on between the two, emphasized Hall — who may run into Kelce and his older brother, Jason, in the South of France on Thursday when the duo participates in panels at Sport Beach.
“I laugh that stuff off, particularly when rumors aren’t true. So yeah I … just kind of let it all slide off [my] back,” she said of the romance gossip.

While Hall doesn’t currently have a significant other, she is open to meeting Mr. Right.
“Dating is fun. It can be stressful, it can be annoying, but I think it’s what you make it,” she told us.
Hall — who previously dated retired Chargers tight end Sean Culkin — opined that her next chapter could be written with someone in the entertainment industry, though having a notable name isn’t essential.

“At this point, whatever, we’re flexible. Whatever happens, happens,” said the “American Ninja Warrior” sideline reporter, joking that her “dream guy” could be a celebrity — but is simply “single and available.”
“Because sometimes these men will pull up on you like, ‘So look, I have a wife at home, she doesn’t know,’” she lamented.
Until she finds her future spouse, Hall’s main focus is her relationship with NBCUniversal and continuing her career momentum at the television conglomerate.

“I’m just continuing to enjoy being at NBCUniversal at the end of the day,” she said, raving that her job on “Access” and co-hosting “Live from E!” red carpet specials are among her favorite gigs.
“It’s really fun! More red carpets, we’re heading into fall, so the Emmys should be around the corner after we get through this summer.”
