Though Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has moved on to a high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift, the echoes of his former relationship with Kayla Nicole continue to spark discussion.
Nicole, known for her candid social media presence, recently opened up about dating perspectives and addressed criticism tied to her past with Kelce.
In a recent tweet, Nicole expressed her approval of coffee dates as a simple and meaningful first-date idea.
“I’m trippin or asking someone out for coffee is a great first date idea? It’s inexpensive, forces you to have conversation and allows for a quick exit if the vibes aren’t right,” she wrote.
One user responded with a dig referencing Nicole’s relationship with Kelce, implying that her current outlook is a shift from her past.
“Life is truly humbling, no way she saying this 3 years ago lol,” the user wrote.
Nicole fired back, highlighting the assumption behind the comment.
The exchange sparked mixed reactions, with some users supporting Nicole’s stance while others criticized her for addressing the comment at all.
Lessons learned after the breakup
Earlier this year, Nicole opened up about her split from Kelce during an interview on Angel Reese‘s podcast. The pair dated publicly from 2017 to 2022, enduring challenges, including a long-distance relationship and constant public scrutiny.

After their first breakup, Nicole revealed she faced financial struggles, sharing that her lease on both her home and car ended around the same time. The experience taught her valuable lessons about independence.
“From that point moving forward, it was like, ‘I don’t care who I date, I don’t care where they are, I’m going to always have my own place. I’m going to always have my own car. I’m going to always focus on my career and support theirs but really prioritize my own goals,'” she explained.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
