Get to know Kayla Nicole, the former girlfriend of NFL star Travis Kelce.
The on-air reporter and record-breaking tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs started dating in 2017 and were in an on-again, off-again relationship for five years.
Following rumors about their latest breakup, including that they parted ways for financial reasons, the Ohio native set the record straight during an interview with The Pivot Podcast.
Furthermore, he announced that he is not in a relationship at the moment and is content with being single. “I’m in the free market right now. I’m out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession,” Kelce said on-air.Most recently, the Chiefs player took home another Super Bowl win as his team went head-to-head against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 12. During the event, Kelce also made history as the first-ever athlete to play against their brother (in his case, Eagles center Jason) in the big game.
Following his big win, he’s set to take the Saturday Night Live stage for the first time as he hosts alongside musical guest Kelsea Ballerini.
