Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole cries as she recalls ‘public breakup’

Kayla Nicole opens up about her “public breakup” from Travis Kelce in her upcoming appearance on Season 3 of Special Forces: The Toughest Test in the World.

In a preview of the Fox show, Nicole, 32, is featured alongside other star competitors set to hit the ground running in season three, including Denise Richards and Brody Jenner. The influencer appears to wipe away tears and says in a voiceover: “Going through a public breakup was overwhelming.”

In a following clip from the series, a fellow contestant asks Nicole who her ex is, and she whispers to confirm the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s name.

In October 2024, the sports commentator appeared on an episode of Angel Reese Unapologetic angel podcast and talked about the negativity she’s faced on social media since Kelce, 35, started dating Taylor Swift, 34.

“I would be lying if I said that this level of hate and just the chaos online hasn’t affected me. It does. Until today,” Nicole said.

“You can go to my latest post and there people will be arguing with each other about why I’m worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I don’t have a career,” she added.

Reese asked Nicole why she thinks she faced so much hate after dealing with the end of her five-year relationship with “Grace.”

“I don’t know,” Nicole replied. “I think there’s something about that level of notoriety that attracts crazy people, and that’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”

The media personality began dating Kelce in 2017, and the duo had an on-again, off-again relationship for five years. Nicole previously revealed that they first connected over Instagram. “He had been following me and flirting on Instagram for a few months,” she revealed in a now-deleted Instagram Stories post that was captured by TMZ.

Following rumors of their separation in January 2023 – including speculation that they split for financial reasons – Kelce clarified in an interview with The Pivot Podcast in January 2023: “Don’t put up with this,” he told the hosts.

Since Kelce and Swift confirmed their romantic relationship in September 2023, Nicole has been trying to “move forward” with her life. This also included unfollowing their friends Brittany and Patrick Mahomes on Instagram.

Season 3 of Special Forces: The Toughest Test in the World will premiere on Wednesday, January 8th at 8pm ET on Fox.
