Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, sports broadcaster, and fitness influencer, seemingly hinted at Kelce cheating on her in the April 19 episode of her new podcast, The Pre-Game.
While discussing relationships with the episode's guest, relationship expert Shan Boodram, Nicole talked about her dating life. Kayla Nicole mentioned that she grew up in a household characterized by faithful, monogamous relationships. Describing her perspective on love as fairy tale-like, she expressed a strong desire for such a relationship.
"I have been conditioned to believe in a fairy tale of love and relationships. You watch the Disney movies. You grow up in church. I was raised to believe that a man and woman, if they are in a relationship, if they are married, you are only intended to be with each other, and you make this agreement, this promise to one another to hold each other accountable," she said.
However, Nicole shared that her past relationships were different, as she always ended up being cheated on. The influencer mentioned that she had never experienced a monogamous relationship.
"When you are cheated on, the heartbreak and devastation that come with that. The insecurities that come with that. It can be overwhelming. In my experience, I don't have successful, monogamous relationships without any element of cheating," she said.
Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole's relationship timeline
According to Travis Kelce's February 2022 interview with E! News, he and Kayla Nicole began dating in 2017 after he slid into her DMs. He shared with the media outlet that he had been "stalking" her Instagram account for a while before making contact.
"I was just stalking her, and then finally, on New Year's, she gave in. And, you know, New Year, new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs, and the rest is history," he said.
According to Cosmopolitan's report on January 18, 2024, the two dated on and off until they broke up amicably in 2022. They did not release any statements about their relationship after the breakup.
On April 4, 2025, Kayla Nicole launched her podcast, The Pre-Game. In the debut episode, she mentioned that her dating style changed after experiencing a public relationship and breakup. Seemingly hinting at her relationship with Kelce, she stated that a public relationship leads to people feeling "entitled" and wanting to know every detail.
"I want to protect the things that mean most to me, and sometimes when you're a little too open and you're a little too transparent, you open yourself up to a world of opinion, a world of entitlement. People want answers. People think that you owe them an explanation about every single thing in your relationship, every up and down and happy or sad moment," she said.
For the unversed, Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift in July 2023 after ending his relationship with Kayla Nicole. A report from People on April 3 revealed that Nicole mentioned in her podcast's debut episode that she is currently seeing someone. However, she plans to keep her dating life private.
