Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, reacts with glee to the news that another tight end will get paid more than the Chiefs'

Kayla Nicole's latest moment came courtesy of an Instagram comment - just five words long - that immediately grabbed attention. The target this time was not former boyfriend Travis Kelce directly, but his fellow All-Pro tight end, George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers.

Kittle has secured a massive four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the 49ers, solidifying his place as the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. The deal eclipsed Kelce's current contract and stirred conversation across the league.

In response to the news, Claire Kittle, George's wife, celebrated on Instagram. That's where Kayla Nicole entered the chat - literally - with a bold and unmistakably enthusiastic message:

"[Expletive] YEAAAAA! Bang bang baby," Nicole wrote.

Kittle sures Kelce financially

While Nicole didn't mention Kelce directly, the timing and content of her comment raised eyebrows among fans and media. Given her history of making public remarks often interpreted as indirect commentary on Kelce's life or career moves, many viewed this latest message as potential shade - especially since Kittle has now overtaken Kelce at the top of the tight end earnings list.

Coming off a strong 2024 campaign in which he hauled in 78 catches for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns across 15 games, the 49ers' offensive weapon proved once again why he's among the elite at his position.

Meanwhile, Kelce continues to stay locked in on his own goals, both on and off the field. With speculation swirling that the 2025 season could be his last, the 34-year-old veteran remains focused on adding another championship to his already stellar resume.

Despite falling short in the Super Bowl against the Eagles, Kelce was still a consistent force in 2024, finishing with 97 receptions for 823 yards and five touchdowns over 16 games.

While his numbers didn't quite reach past highs, he remained the heart of Kansas City's offense - and a key target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
