Travis Kelce’s Ex Kayla Nicole Claims She’s ‘Done Dating Athletes

The social media personality declared in a recent interview that she’s “done dating athletes” and would only be going after the team owners. Nicole also recently seemed to have mocked the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his fianceé, Taylor Swift, with her Halloween costume, drawing mixed reactions online.

Kayla Nicole has often received backlash from fans for bringing up Travis Kelce in conversations, with many accusing her of doing so for clout.

Nicole has officially declared a new era in her dating life. When she made an appearance on the “Tap In With Harry Jowsey” podcast, the host mentioned that he’s part-owner of a professional rugby team in L.A.

Nicole instantly became interested and asked him if any of his friends also had a team, declaring that she didn’t want to have anything to do with the players.

“I keep saying I don’t want to date any more athletes, but I’m down to date the owners of the teams,” she said, per TMZ.

Jowsey then pointed to himself before adding, “Here we go,” as if to imply he’s right there.

Nicole then said, “Yeah, okay,” meaning it’s not something she’ll frown at.

Nicole was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Kelce for 5 years before they finally ended things in 2022.

In October, she seemed to have taken a shot at the NFL star and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with her Halloween costume, where she dressed as Toni Braxton from her “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.

Many people interpreted it as a dig at “Tayvis,” as she recreated Braxton’s music video.

The song lyric also raised eyebrows due to lines like “Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?” and “Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn’t man enough for me.”

Nicole has since denied she had any such intentions, saying she’s “not in the business of tearing other women down.”

She said, “For me, this moment was about celebrating an icon in my culture. Someone that I have listened to since I was very, very young — whether it was in the car with my mother, whether it was me in high school stealing my mom’s CDs … playing it in my whip on the way to high school.”

Nicole continued, “Shoutout Toni Braxton. You guys, she commented on my post … and I feel like that in itself, I feel like I won Halloween.”

Nicole’s costume antics came after Swift seemingly referenced her relationship with Kelce in her “Opalite” song, which is said to be about the football player.

Swift’s lyrics read, “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”

The pop star continued in the song: “And don’t we try to love love? We give it all we got / You finally left the table, and what a simple thought / You’re starving ’til you’re not.”

While Swift has never addressed Nicole directly, many seemed to believe the song was about the influencer.

Swifties have also flooded Nicole’s comment section with posts slamming her for always bringing their favorite artist up in her conversations.

Earlier this month, the “Pre Game” podcast host appeared to have deleted her X account after she came under fire for allegedly using racist comments and homophobic slurs.

A thread that featured posts she made from as far back as 2010 was unearthed, showing a number of disturbing takes.

In one screenshot, she allegedly wrote: “I can hear this Indian girl praying/chanting through the walls. She got 5 mo[sic] minutes n Imma let her know that Buddha isn’t real. smh.”

She used to go by the username “@iamkaylanicole” on the platform, but any search for her page now leads to the message: “This account doesn’t exist.”

Nicole has yet to address the resurfaced tweets.
