Kayla Nicole recently appeared on the Second Wind podcast and basically asked everyone to stop calling her Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend. Nicole and Kelce were in a highly publicized relationship for a number of years before they broke up for good in 2022.
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce started dating each other in 2017 but were involved in an on-and-off relationship. However, the couple broke up for good in 2022 after Nicole apparently gave Kelce an ultimatum for marriage. Since breaking up, Kelce has moved on and is currently in a relationship with pop-singer, Taylor Swift. However, while Kelce is almost always shown in a positive light, Kayla Nicole is still branded negatively and always called ‘Kelce’s Ex-GF’.
“I am human, and I take it with a grain of salt. One day they’re gonna have to stop calling me somebody’s ex. I don’t know if that means I have to date someone else publicly. Eventually, they’re gonna have to just let it go. They’re gonna have to; until then, I’m gonna ride this off into the sunset. Yeah, I can’t control it. That’s the thing too. It’s like releasing control of people that I have no control over.” Kayla Nicole said on the Second Wind podcast about always being called Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend by the media.

Kayla Nicole Admits That Travis Kelce Caused Her Pain
