Kayla Nicole was once in the spotlight as Travis Kelce‘s girlfriend, but she’s now making headlines as his ex. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is rumored to now be dating Taylor Swift, and she’s been spotted attending some of his games over the last few weeks. Before Taylor, Kayla was also a supportive girlfriend who would attend many of Travis’ games since the start of their romance, and she also publicly gushed over his success on Instagram.
Kayla recently got attention when she unfollowed her former friend Brittany Mahomes, who is Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes‘ wife, as well as Patrick’s brother, Jackson Mahomes, on Instagram. The action came just days after Taylor and Brittany were spotted having dinner with friends and on the same day they were spotted sitting together during the Chiefs game on October 1. Kayla has not publicly given a reason for the unfollows, but many suspect Travis’ alleged romance with the “Midnight Rain” crooner could have something to do with it.
