Travis Kelce’s ex said that she thought the podcast appearance with Reese went well, but her mom told her otherwise.

Nicole discussed her ex and other things in her personal life.

“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,” Nicole told Reese.

“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.”

Despite being honest and respectful with her answers, the podcast appearance didn’t sit well with fans.

“I thought that I handled things with grace,” Nicole told I Am Athlete Daily while crying.

“Thought that I answered the questions to the best of my ability.

“The public had their interpretation of things — didn’t matter to me.

“My mom calls me, though. And it’s those conversations … that’s what matters to me because she’s offended.

“She’s hurt by the way people are perceiving her daughter. She’s hurt by the negative headlines and the way people are spinning it.”

Nicole said that she is considering not speaking on the subject again because of the way things were twisted.

“And even my mom was like, ‘Maybe next time, we don’t answer those questions,’ and it’s simple as that.

“Don’t give it any energy. You don’t always have to respond. I’ve been on that soap box for a long time.

“I don’t always have to respond.”

Nicole dated Kelce from 2017-2022, and was close friends with Brittany Mahomes during that time.

‘Well-talked-about personal life’

Travis Kelce was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with Good Morning America.

But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave a cagey response.

“When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,” Kelce told GMA.

“I’ve always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off that way when I’m playing football.

“But off the field, I just want to be a genuine person. I try not to get too far down the road.

“Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves.”

She already had a massive social media presence before Kelce’s new relationship with Taylor Swift, but Nicole was put even further in the spotlight because of it.

Part of her appearance on Reese’s podcast was to explain how she is getting online hate for being Kelce’s ex and that she doesn’t deserve it.

“I currently am experiencing a master class of the power of your words and the influence of the media,” she said on I Am Athlete Daily.

She featured on the show alongside former NFL stars Brandon Marshall and Martellus Bennett.

Nicole said she wanted to learn from them as ex-professional athletes who moved on to new careers.

While Nicole has spoken at times about her previous relationship with Kelce, he hasn’t spoken much on the topic.

His NFL career and current relationship with Swift occupy most of his attention lately.
