Kayla Nicole Moves Out of The “Athlete Stage” Amid Travis Kelce’s Taylor Swift Romance

In a recent interview on the ‘Behind the Likes’ podcast, Kayla Nicole, former girlfriend of Travis Kelce, reflected on her romantic journey and revealed a newfound perspective on love.

The sports journalist shared that she has undergone a significant shift in her approach to relationships, expressing a sense of closure regarding what she refers to as the ‘athlete stage’ of her dating life.

“I’ll never say never, but I fully, wholeheartedly believe that I am out of the athlete stage,” Kayla said before describing who the next ideal beau could be. “I do think that I am attracted to men in positions of power and I also think that those types of men are attracted to me. … I would love to date an executive of a record label or a movie producer so that we can go to sporting events. Let date night be courtside at the Laker game, that’s my kind of guy.” 

Kayla’s recent remarks mark a significant moment in her journey, especially considering the spotlight she found herself under last year amid her ex-partner’s highly publicised relationship with Taylor Swift.

Just three months ago, Kayla candidly shared her experiences in an interview with a magazine, shedding light on the toll a significant breakup had taken on her well-being. Although she didn’t explicitly mention Travis by name, it’s widely known that her most prominent relationship was with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, with whom she had an on-again, off-again romance

“Just full transparency, I went through this major breakup, major life change, and I had lost a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time,” Kayla said. “I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating. I was really abusing melatonin to sleep at night. I’m posting content and people are like, ‘You look so good. Tell us your tricks. You look amazing.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m miserable. I’m miserable. I’m depressed.’ My abs were amazing, I had a six-pack. And it was like, ‘I had never felt so bad in my life.’.
