The Kansas City Chiefs tight end dated Nicole on and off for five years, beginning in 2017, before he and Taylor Swift became an item in the summer of 2023.
Now, about two years after the former couple called it quits one last time, she corrected those who think she and the 35-year-old NFL pro broke up because he was "cheap."
"Do I look like anybody that would split anything?" she rhetorically asked Reese. "Do I look like I would go 50/50 on bills?" she added before denouncing the rumors as "ridiculous."
"He addressed that too, though. I don't even know why that even became a thing. That was never an issue in our relationship but it was definitely a rumor on the internet," she noted.
Kelce previously alluded to the falsity of the accusations, telling the Pivot podcast last year: "You've got to be crazy if you'd think I would never help or gave her a couple thousand to grab some food or she gave me some money to go get some food."
"We were in a relationship for five years," he explained. "A hundred dollars here, a hundred dollars there wasn't even thought about."
Kelce went on to call the gossip "crazy" and advised fans not to "buy into that s--t!"
"To each his own," Nicole told Reese, 22. "If people like to split their bills with their man I think that's what you should do. I don't do that."
Elsewhere in their conversation, the WNBA star inquired about the New Heights podcaster's current relationship, asking Nicole if she believed "because of who he started to date, the negativity from her fan club or her fans has affected you?"
"I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos doesnât impact me," Nicole responded, adding that the " hate [from Swifties] " continues "even to this day."
"And itâs unfortunate because Iâve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash," she said.
