Travis Kelce's ex-GF claims she is suffering from separation anxiety after Chiefs star took away their dogs

Travis Kelce is well-known for taking away his opponents' joy on the field. Through his smack-talk and high level of production, the tight end has proven to be a nightmare for those who have opposed him. However, he is now being accused of taking away someone's joy off the field.

Kelce and Kayla Nicole broke up a few months ago and Nicole has now accused the tight end of taking their dogs with him when he left the relationship. Taking to Twitter, Nicole revealed that the loss of her dogs gave her separation anxiety. She compared her feelings to those of a man featured in a Netflix special. Here's how she put it:

"A man fell in love with an octopus and made a Netflix special out of it. So please stop acting confused when I have separation anxiety from my dog children. TYSM."

No reason for Kelce's split with Nicole has been made public, but the Sun reported that the tight end made his former girlfriend pay half of all his bills. The couple split earlier this year after dating off and on for five years.

Kansas City Tight End at NFL Pro Bowl

In 2013, Kelce was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round. He essentially sat out the entire season, seeing action in just one game. In 2014, the tight end made his true debut. By the end of his first starting season, he was a leading receiving option for the team, earning 862 yards and five touchdowns.

Twenty-fifteen would be the last time Kelce finished with less than 1,000 yards in a season. From 2016 through 2021, the tight end's worst season came in 2017 when he earned 1,038 yards and eight touchdowns. His best season came in 2020, when he registered 1,416 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Since 2016, the tight end has alternated between productive and unproductive seasons. In 2016, he earned 1,125 yards. In 2017, that dropped to 1,038 yards. In 2018, he totalled 1,336 yards, and in 2019, he posted 1,229 yards.

In 2020, he racked up 1,416 yards, while in 2021, he recorded 1,125 yards.

Following the departure of star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Kelce will have to shoulder more responsibility this season and help take the Chiefs to another Super Bowl.
