Travis has dated –

1. Millie McKenzie (2017–2018) – Travis had started dating fellow wrestler Millie McKenzie, one among his many trainees at Fight Club Pro, in 2017, and the couple had parted ways seemingly amicably in 2018. In 2020, however, Millie accused Travis of emotional abuse and violation of his position of trust over her as she was training under him. Although she did not accuse him of physical or s*xual harassment, she claimed that she underwent emotional trauma due to the relationship as she was only 17 years old and Travis was 30 when this had happened. She released screenshots of abusive messages that Travis had sent her and he profusely apologized for this by releasing an unconditional apology on social media. Travis was, consequently, released from contracts by WWE NXT UK and Progress Wrestling in June 2020. The incident became a key episode in the #SpeakingOut movement, a collective fight against acts of emotional or physical abuse, s*xual harassment, and s*xual abuse committed by powerful individuals in professional wrestling.
