Kayla Nicole is opening up about the “online chaos” she’s faced since her ex, Travis Kelce, began dating Taylor Swift.
Speaking on the latest episode of Angel Reese’s Unapologetically Angel podcast, released Thursday, Oct. 10, the sports commentator, 32, addressed the negativity she has faced on social media ever since the pop superstar, 34, started dating Kelce.
“I would be lying if i said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos didn’t impact me, it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said.
“You can go to my most recent post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I have по career,” she added.
Reese then asked Nicole why she thinks she has been subjected to so much negativity after handling the end of their five-year, on-off relationship with “grace.”
“I don’t know,” Nicole responded. “I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, and it’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”
The sports analyst went on to share that she and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, have bumped into each other since their breakup and revealed how she addresses her ex.
“I’ll hit him with a head nod,” she said. “That’s about it.”
“We’ve seen each other in public spaces but I think that we’re both aware of the nature of his new situation that there’s just no room to communicate or acknowledge each other publicly without it being spun into something crazy. So we just keep it moving,” she continued.

Nicole also opened up about her friendship with the Kansas City Chiefs WAGS (wives and girlfriends) and revealed that her relationship with them has changed since she and Kelce split.
“We’re cool. We are not as cool as we were … before,” she said, adding that the player’s other halves were “like family” to her.
“That’s hard,” noted Reese, to which Nicole replied, “Yeah.”
As for whether or not she would ever date someone in the public eye again, Nicole responded, “I don’t see myself doing that any time soon. No, I absolutely don’t, and I also just think ultimately it’s like, people can’t pick at what they don’t know about. You know what I mean? I just want to protect my relationships from here on out. I don’t want to deal with it ever again.”

And then too if we break up, I don’t want to deal with what that looks like,” she added.
Swift and Kelce first sparked dating rumors in September 2023 after the musician attended a handful of the athlete’s Chiefs games.
The couple then confirmed their romance in October 2023 when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty in New York City.
