Kayla Nicole opens up about dating athletes after Travis Kelce split

Kayla Nicole advises maintaining independence in relationships with athletes

Kayla Nicole, former partner of NFL star Travis Kelce, has shared insights on dating athletes. Nicole, who ended her relationship with Kelce in 2022, spoke about the challenges on the Unapologetically Angel podcast.

Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, began dating music icon Taylor Swift a year after their breakup. Their relationship has been highly publicised, with frequent appearances at events like the US Open Tennis Final.

Since the split, Nicole has focused on self-improvement and shared her experiences on the podcast hosted by WNBA player Angel Reese. She emphasised the importance of maintaining independence when dating athletes.

“My main advice is to always have your own,” Nicole said. “It’s easy to get wrapped up in their dreams and life plans. I learned early on that a relationship could end abruptly, leaving you with nothing. During our long-distance relationship, I often travelled back and forth. I thought, ‘We’re getting married, so I don’t need an apartment.'”

She added, “When we broke up, my lease on both my apartment and car ended simultaneously. Although we reconciled, I decided to always have my own place and car, regardless of who I date. Supporting their career is important, but prioritising my own goals is crucial.”

The breakup significantly impacted Nicole, who faced not only the emotional strain of ending a relationship but also online harassment. “People would debate my worth in my recent posts. It had nothing to do with me. Fame seems to attract crazy people, and I don’t think I deserved that kind of backlash,” Nicole explained. Despite these challenges, Nicole appears to have moved forward positively, using her experiences to empower others.
