Kayla Nicole, ex-girlfriend of NFL star Travis Kelce, recently opened up about the emotional aftermath of her breakup with Kelce and the impact of his new high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.
Speaking on the Unapologetically Angel podcast with Angel Reese, Nicole shared candidly that Kelce’s romance with Swift has created unexpected challenges in her social life, particularly with her connections to the Kansas City Chiefs' community. Since Kelce and Swift began dating, Nicole has felt increasingly distanced from the tight-knit circle of friends, wives, and girlfriends (WAGs) within the Chiefs organization, leaving her feeling isolated and somewhat ostracized.
Nicole emphasized the emotional toll of the breakup, noting that it extended beyond just losing a romantic partner; she also lost relationships with the friends and family she had grown close to over her six-year relationship with Kelce. "The hardest part is losing the person you talk to every day, along with their friends and family," she expressed, describing the painful process of having to let go of not only Kelce but the life they had shared.
Nicole and Kelce initially sparked dating rumors in 2017, and they remained one of the NFL’s favorite couples until their split in 2022. Meanwhile, Kelce and Swift’s relationship has been publicly followed since September 2023, drawing extensive media attention and fan speculation. As Swift’s influence brings even more visibility to Kelce’s life, Nicole’s remarks shed light on the complex personal dynamics that often come with high-profile relationships, showing the lingering emotional effects for those involved in the background.
