As the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce veers from rumored to confirmed, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's ex-girlfriend is speaking out. Kayla Nicole, an on-air sports journalist, dated Kelce starting in 2017. Kelce revealed news of the couple’s split in a 2023 interview with The Pivot, saying that he’s “in the free market right now.” “I’m out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession,” he added.
' The sports journalist then addressed the challenges of being a Black woman, telling her audience they could be seen as 'too much, too provocative, too boisterous, too outspoken' and 'not successful enough, not wholesome enough, maybe not even intelligent enough.' 'They'll say you deserve the backlash and embarrassment,' she says. 'Because of your Blackness, you should have known better. They'll even try to tie your value to your net worth.
