Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole breaks down in tears on TV over breakup after revealing Taylor Swift 'abuse'

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole was visibly emotional when speaking about her breakup with the Kansas City Chiefs player, having previously spoken of 'abuse' she has received from 'Swifties'.

Nicole, 32, dated Kelce, 35, for five years before they went their separate ways in 2022.

The NFL star has since moved on and has been dating pop star Taylor Swift over the past year.

Swift, 34, is regularly pictured supporting her partner at his NFL matches.

Nicole, who is an influencer and model, is set to take part in Fox's 'Special Forces' show, which will first be aired on January 8, 2025.

In a recently released trailer, the 32-year-old opened up about her split with the NFL star.

“Going through a public breakup, it's been overwhelming,” she explained before the camera cut to a shot of her seemingly wiping away tears.

Before this, Nicole had kept her personal and love life relatively private but did open up about the ‘abuse’ she has received from ‘Swifties’ – the name given to fans of Swift.

“I think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you want to disappear from the world entirely,” she told WNBA star Angel Reese in the ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast in October this year.

“Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media.

“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn't impact me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts, and people would be debating why I am worthless.

“It is nothing to do with me. I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don't think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”

Although later in the show, she even complimented Kelce by calling him the “the best tight end” in the NFL as she reflected on their time together.

“It was a good time,” Nicole added.

“It was great. He [Travis Kelce] is a great guy, it was a good time in my life. So many lessons learned.”
