Social media influencer and podcast host Kayla Nicole says she is embracing single life, joking that she is “single as a dollar bill” while keeping her dating options open and casual.
Nicole made the comments in an interview with TMZ at the 6th Annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards. Her remarks come as headlines continue to focus on her ex-boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his upcoming wedding to Taylor Swift.
According to TMZ, Nicole told the outlet she is actively dating but keeping things light. She described herself as “single as a dollar bill” and said she is open to “seeing what’s out there.” The report indicated she is enjoying the process and focused on her own next chapter.
Nicole has been vocal about not seeking a serious relationship on reality television. She said she would happily host a dating show, citing her journalism background and experience hosting the podcast “The Pre-Game.” She added that she would at least take a call from “The Bachelorette” if producers reached out, though she has no interest in competing as a contestant.
Professionally, Nicole has stayed busy. She recently shared the stage with R&B legend Toni Braxton and appeared in a Chris Brown music video. She jokingly suggested she could be entering her “video vixen season” with more opportunities potentially on the way.
The former NFL girlfriend has largely stayed out of the spotlight regarding her past relationship with Kelce. Her latest comments paint a picture of a woman prioritizing career momentum, personal freedom and low-pressure dating over rushing into commitment.
As Kelce and Swift’s wedding plans dominate entertainment coverage, Nicole appears content to write her own next chapter on her terms — one date, one opportunity and one joke at a time.
