After stating her newfound aversion to dating athletes, Travis Kelce's ex, Kayla Nicole, addressed this highly debated personal topic in a recent podcast appearance, revealing her intention to seek a different kind of partner going forward.
During the November 25th, 2025, episode of the Boyfriend Material With Harry Jowsey podcast, Kayla Nicole's remarks caught the attention of listeners when she stated, "I keep saying I don't want to date any more athletes, but I'm down to date the owners of the teams." This comment, made after Jowsey mentioned his partial ownership of a rugby team, sparked mixed reactions from the audience. Some criticized her for her perceived dig at her ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce, with one critic saying, "Her only claim to fame was being Kelce's girl, but she isn't anymore. Move on."
However, supporters of Nicole defended her, with one social media user writing, "God forbid she makes a joke." As the host of "The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole" podcast, she continues to engage with her audience publicly.
This isn't the first time Nicole has been perceived as shading Kelce. For Halloween in 2025, she recreated Toni Braxton's look from the "He Wasn't Man Enough" music video, wearing a chrome thong bikini and a chain mini dress while performing some of the choreography. Fans linked this costume to Taylor Swift, Kelce's fiancée, due to lyrics in the song referencing a past relationship. On her November 8th podcast, Nicole said, "People will try to project their own narratives," adding, "I've been listening to this [song] since it came out... I had a white best friend. Her name was Taylor... her mom's name was Pam."
