Kelly’s first mention of Maddie was in a photo which he posted on Instagram in September 2016. Though she wasn’t practically present in the picture, he had tagged her in it, thus hinting his friendship with her.

Thanks to his association with Maddie, Kelly had more than 900,000 followers on Instagram. In that one year, Kelly posted a series of pictures of him and Maddie either in bathing suits, or snuggling on a bench or even enjoying time together. Silly snapshots of the couple that included some adorable Snapchat filters also held a prominent place in his social handle. However, in summer 2018, the couple broke up. Kelly’s Instagram account now has 72 followers. His Instagram account also has photos of him with fellow Instagram star Cameron Field.
