From 2017 until their painful split in May 2023, Kayla Nicole, co-host of “I Am Athlete,” and Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, had an intermittent relationship. Following their breakup, Kayla chose to remain single and focus her energies on her athletic career and fitness, while Travis started dating Taylor Swift in September. The ex-couple hasn’t spoken to each other in public since.
In an open discussion on Thursday night’s episode of the “Unapologetically Angele” podcast, Chicago Sky star Angele Reese addressed the subject that everyone was interested in.
Kayla was asked by Reese: “If you guys (Kayla and Travis) got to see each other, you guys are cool or not?”
Nicole gave a perceptive and insightful remark. “I mean, I’ll probably like hit him with a head nod. We’ve seen each other in public places. But I think that we’re both aware of the nature of his new situation, that there’s just no room for us to communicate or acknowledge each other publicly without it being spun into something crazy. So, we just keep it moving.”
Angele Reese expressed her own feelings, acknowledging Kayla’s maturity and acceptance of Kelce’s relationship with Swift. She confirmed her appreciation for their previous connection by saying, “I loved you guys together.”
Notably, neither Travis nor Kayla openly placed the blame for the breakup on anyone. According to Kayla’s comments, there isn’t any hostility between them. Fans might be curious if Travis would respond to Kayla’s remarks on the “New Heights” podcast.
Even though Kayla and Travis ended their relationship amicably, Kayla had a difficult first few days after the split. But Kayla decided not to give up. Instead, she embraced fitness and soon regained her footing, which led to her recuperation and personal development.
