Just when you thought Kayla Nicole was done bringing up Travis Kelce, she decided to do it again mere months before his wedding day. The sports journalist and model have been the subject of much online conversation since Kelce and Swift’s relationship went public.
Last year, the sports reporter refused to give any insight into Kelce asking Taylor Swift to marry him. When asked about Kelce’s proposal to Swift, Nicole simply replied, “Oh, no, no, no.” She dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for five years before their 2022 split.
Although Kayla Nicole, who said she was previously triggered by questions surrounding her, avoided addressing the engagement, she has never been shy about bringing him up. In 2024, she appeared on season 3 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
At one point during the show, Nicole could then be seen wiping away tears. Her voiceover said, “Going through a public breakup, it’s been overwhelming.” While speaking with another contestant, Nicole whispers Travis Kelce’s name when asked who her ex-boyfriend is. Now, her ex-boyfriend is never coming back to her, now that he is giving Taylor Swift what she always wanted out of him.

During a TikTok speed-dating event, Nicole discussed why her previous relationship didn’t work.
Although she refrained from mentioning Kelce by name, one telling detail appeared to confirm he was the subject of her remarks. Kayla Nicole appeared on Ace Greene’s recent TikTok speed dating event. The “Love Island USA” alum asked Nicole how long she’s been single.
She revealed she has been single for three years, a timeline that aligns with her relationship with Kelce ending in 2022. Greene then asked Nicole why her previous relationship didn’t work out, to which she replied, “Umm, who knows?”
