25 june 2026 в 02:13
Kayla Nicole was once in the spotlight as Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, but by the end of 2023, she made headlines as his ex after rumors surfaced that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was dating Taylor Swift—now his fiancée—following her appearances at several of his games. Before Taylor, Kayla was a supportive girlfriend, often attending Travis’s games and publicly celebrating his achievements on Instagram.
After the breakup, Kayla drew attention when she unfollowed her former friend Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Travis’s teammate Patrick Mahomes, as well as Patrick’s brother, Jackson Mahomes, on Instagram. This move came just days after Taylor and Brittany were spotted having dinner together and sitting next to each other at the Chiefs game on October 1, 2023. Although Kayla never publicly commented on her unfollows, many speculated that Travis’s developing romance with Taylor might have played a role.
Now 33, Kayla continues to pursue her career on her own terms. In her Halloween 2025 Instagram post, she caught attention by dressing up as Toni Braxton from the 2000 music video «He Wasn’t Man Enough», - captioning her photos: «She's an icon. She’s a legend». The post quickly went viral, and fans interpreted it as a subtle yet powerful nod to her high-profile past with Travis, as well as a reminder that Kayla’s confidence and humor remain unmatched.
Travis and Kayla began dating in May 2017. Throughout their relationship, they attended high-profile events together, including the ESPY Awards and the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards. Kayla was also by Travis’s side when he celebrated the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory at the parade in 2020. However, in early August 2020, fans noticed that they had unfollowed each other on Instagram. A few days later, Travis confirmed that they had broken up. In early December 2020, Travis held a Q&A session, confirming that they were back together when he referred to Kayla as his «girlfriend» during the conversation. A few days later, she posted a video celebrating the Chiefs' victory on Instagram. Travis and Kayla ultimately broke up in August 2022.
When Travis and Kayla split in August, rumors circulated that infidelity was the reason for the breakup. However, he denied these allegations on Twitter. «This is fake news… a lie», - Travis wrote before quickly deleting the post. «And that’s not the reason Kayla and I broke up. Please take all your hate somewhere else».
Kayla works as a television host and also models. She has collaborated with publications such as BET, NBA, HotNewHipHop, and others. Additionally, she has worked as a reporter for the Los Angeles Lakers and interviewed various celebrities, as seen in her video clips.
The girls were very close throughout Kayla’s relationship with Travis. They regularly attended Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium and took many photos together. Kayla also accompanied Brittany to her pre-wedding events, including the bachelorette party, before she married Patrick in 2022. They chose the wedding dress together, and Kayla was one of the few who attended her bachelorette party in February 2022.
Kayla is also passionate about fitness and founded her own fitness brand called Strong Is Sexy. She occasionally shares workout videos on her YouTube and Instagram pages, claiming that the brand aims to «refresh sexuality from within». Kayla’s personal Instagram has over 700,000 followers, and her Strong Is Sexy page once had over 50,000. She started Strong Is Sexy in 2020, but it is unclear if she is still actively involved in the project.
As of now, it seems that the sports journalist is not in a romantic relationship. Enjoying her single life, Kayla uses her platform to promote positivity
