- NFL. Taylor Swift makes Travis Kelce look like a retired celebrity and the whole world reacts by burning with mixed feelings
- NFL. Donna Kelce gives details of Jason and Travis Kelce's girlfriends as TE tries to deny his past
Kayla Nicole has made a name for herself as a YouTube star, influencer, and even a sports media personality, but she's often recognized as the ex-girlfriend of NFL starTravis Kelce - a label she's publicly asked to move past. Nicole and Kelce dated on and off from 2017 to 2022, and while she's expressed frustration at being called "Travis' ex," arguing that the relationship ended years ago, it's worth noting that she's also used the association to increase her visibility. She recently launched her podcast, The Pre-Game, which some fans see as mirroring the style of Angel Reese's Unapologetically. Both shows aim for candid, unfiltered conversations that often delve into relationships, fame, and personal growth, positioning Nicole as a voice for young women navigating similar spaces. Her most recent episode, however, has sparked a new wave of discussion with some bold comments about men.
"Straight Men Are Easy," Says Kayla Nicole
In a clip from the latest episode of "The Pre-Game," Kayla Nicole and her guest, Kamie Crawford, get into a lively discussion about dating dynamics, with a particular focus on men. Nicole doesn't hold back, stating, "Straight men are easy," implying that they're easy to win over. Both she and Crawford laugh as they share their perspectives, with Nicole adding that a little alcohol can make men even more pliable, claiming, "Give them a few drinks and they wh**s, sl**s"
Of course, the comments reflect their personal experiences rather than a universal truth, and not all men fit the mold they describe. The clip has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising their honesty and others calling the generalization unfair, fueling debates about gender dynamics in the influencer space.
Navigating Fame Beyond the Kelce Connection
Travis Kelce has clearly moved on and is now in a well-publicized relationship with Taylor Swift that's approaching two years. There were even betting odds during Super Bowl LIX in February that Kelce would propose to Swift, but the Kansas City Chiefs' crushing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles dashed any chance of a celebratory moment. Kelce and Swift seem headed for a future together, possibly marriage by the end of the next NFL season, while Nicole continues to forge her own path.
Meanwhile, Kayla Nicole has worked to carve out her own identity beyond her past relationship with Travis Kelce, using platforms like The Pre-Game and various media projects to redefine her brand. While she's made strides to distance herself from the "Kelce ex" label, the association remains a significant part of her public persona, especially in the entertainment and sports circles in which she operates. Breaking free from that shadow is no easy feat, given the high-profile nature of her past romance.
