Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, is once again in the spotlight, but this time it’s not for her fitness influencing or her career as a journalist. During a recent appearance on FOX’s reality series “Special Forces,” she broke down while discussing the emotional toll of her highly publicized breakup with the Kansas City Chiefs star.
The former couple had an on-and-off relationship before ending things officially in 2022. While their split initially seemed to be yesterday’s news, the media frenzy surrounding Kelce’s budding relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift brought Nicole back into the conversation. Social media erupted with negative comments, much of it directed at Nicole, prompting her to speak out earlier this year about the challenges she’s faced as a Black woman in the public eye.
In a raw and powerful Instagram post, Nicole addressed the harsh judgment she’s endured, writing, “Dear Black girl, they may call you a traitor for falling in love… They’ll even try to tie your value to your net worth.” Her message resonated with many but also highlighted how deeply the breakup and its aftermath have affected her.
Now, Nicole is taking on a different platform to share her story. In a promo for “Special Forces,” she is seen tearfully reflecting on her split from Kelce, calling the experience “overwhelming.” The trailer, though brief, captured a vulnerable moment, showing how public scrutiny has impacted her personal life.

Nicole has since opened up about how this ordeal has reshaped her perspective on dating. She’s made it clear that she’s done sharing her personal relationships with the world, vowing to keep her future romances private. “People can’t pick at what they don’t know about,” she explained, adding that protecting her personal life would shield her from the pain of public fallout.
As she continues to navigate life as a social media influencer and public figure, Nicole remains candid about the challenges she faces. With her career still thriving, she’s determined to reclaim her narrative, proving she’s more than just “Travis Kelce’s ex.”
For now, she seems focused on her own growth and healing. But with Kelce’s relationship with Swift constantly making headlines, it remains to be seen if the public will let Nicole move on in peace.
