Kayla Nicole up about the challenges she’s faced since her public breakup with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2022. Competing on Fox's Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 3, Nicole addressed how online trolling has impacted her emotionally and personally.

During the intense competition series, Nicole reflected on her five-year on-and-off relationship with Kelce and the scrutiny that followed. "Going through a public breakup… it's been overwhelming," Nicole shared, adding that she feels “reduced to a headline” as Kelce’s ex-girlfriend.

Nicole revealed that Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift has only intensified the trolling. "It’s exhausting… people compare me to [Kelce’s] new situation, and it makes me question my value as a person and a partner," she confessed.

Despite the negativity, Nicole passed a grueling bungee jump challenge, breaking down in tears afterward. "I’m proud of the mental fortitude it’s taken to get here," she said, vowing to tap into her inner strength to complete the competition.
