Amid Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s highly publicized new romance, the athlete’s ex-girlfriend has sparked rumors with a cryptic Instagram post.

Hollywood’s current It couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has fans swooning during their honeymoon phase. With Kelce showing chivalrous gestures, such as protecting the singer from paparazzi, the NFL star has certainly received the Swifties’ seal of approval. As Taylor’s new beau, the public has looked into Travis’ dating history with ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, who recently posted an obscure message about relationships.

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend uploads cryptic Instagram message amid Taylor Swift romance

On Wednesday, influencer Kayla Nicole reposted an emotional quote on Instagram Story, reading: “‘I don’t like how it makes me feel’ is a legitimate reason to separate yourself from people, places, and things.”

There was no further context but it is enough to prompt fan speculation that it is related to Kelce.

It comes nearly two weeks after the 31-year-old model shared post about her workout, which she dubs her “therapy”.

“Back in my happy place. Another day, another therapy session,” she wrote.

Nicole, who dated Travis on and off from 2017 to 2022, has not yet addressed the Kansas City Chief’s romance with Swift.

The former couple became an item after Kelce split from Maya Benberry, who won his heart on his dating show, Catching Kelce. Travis and Kayla Insta flirted for months before she mustered up the courage to DM him first on New Year’s.

Over five years, they split once in the summer of 2020 and remained strong until their break-up two years later.

Who is Kayla Nicole? Her job brought her close to Kelce

Aside from her role as a fashion influencer, Kayla is a sports journalist who graduated from Pepperdine University.

She scored gigs at sports media outlets such as ESPN and Barstool Sports. She has also reported courtside for the NBA and on the sidelines for the NFL, meaning her passion for sports was likely a common interest with Kelce.

It’s possible that they crossed paths on the football field before flirting on social media.
