Travis Kelce’s secrets are safe with his Grotesquerie costar Niecy Nash-Betts.
During a Wednesday, October 30, appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, Nash-Betts, 54, revealed how she handles getting asked about Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.
“Let me tell you about people who text me about Travis. They all started off saying, ‘You know, we’re watching the [show Grotesquerie] — is he the killer?’ just to get you on the line texting them. Then they’re like, ‘Well, what do you know about his relationship?’’’ said the actress, who stars as Detective Lois Tyron on the FX horror series.
Nash-Betts then assured Travis, 35, that she never shares any information with the curious texters.

“I’m like, ‘Man, get off that man’s business!’ I’m a vault, I don’t say nothing,” she said. “You ain’t getting nothing out of me. I mean, y’all just being nosy, don’t ask me nothing.”
Travis laughed and thanked Nash-Betts for “always showing love” to him and Swift, 34, when she gets asked about their romance in public.
“You know it’s real, you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy, and I appreciate you always making sure that everybody knows that,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end added.
“I mean, I mind my Black business,” Nash-Betts replied. “I stay over here and worry about myself and what I got going.”
