Kayla Nicole Hasn’t Found a Boyfriend Since Travis Kelce Left.

Kayla Nicole, a well-known sports journalist, influencer, and fitness enthusiast, has been a subject of public interest ever since her high-profile, on-and-off relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce ended in May 2022. As of March 23, 2025, Nicole remains single, focusing on her career and personal growth rather than diving back into the dating scene. This article explores her journey since the breakup, her reflections on love and relationships, and why she hasn’t found a new boyfriend in the nearly three years since parting ways with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

The End of a High-Profile Romance
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce’s relationship began in 2017, sparked by an Instagram interaction where Nicole slid into Kelce’s DMs after months of mutual online flirting. What followed was a five-year romance marked by public appearances, breakups, and reconciliations. The couple made their red-carpet debut at the ESPY Awards in 2018 and were often spotted together at events, including Chiefs games and charity functions. However, their relationship faced challenges, including a brief split in 2020 amid infidelity rumors (which Kelce denied) before reconciling later that year. The final breakup came in May 2022, with rumors swirling about financial disagreements—claims both Nicole and Kelce have since debunked.

Kelce addressed the breakup rumors on The Pivot Podcast in January 2023, dismissing speculations that he was “too cheap” or made Nicole split bills, saying, “Don’t buy into that s—.” Nicole, meanwhile, has remained relatively tight-lipped about the specifics of their split but has opened up about the emotional toll it took, especially given the public scrutiny that intensified when Kelce began dating pop superstar Taylor Swift in September 2023.
