After dating Chiefs TE Travis Kelce for five years, Kayla Nicole announced she was done with her “athlete stage.” Although the ex-girlfriend of Kelce is done dating athletes, she has continued to support them in their recent success. Her Instagram has served as the primary medium for her to send messages of support and congratulations to anyone who caught her attention.
Hopping on the same bandwagon once again, Nicole took to her Instagram to celebrate a special gift she received from Grand Slam winner CoCo Gauff. With the IG story captioned, “THANK YOU @COCOGAUFF X @BOSE,” she expressed her excitement about receiving personalized Bose earbuds from Gauff. Well, Nicole, after getting the gift, jokingly stated, “Now, who must I bother for US open tix?” It would be safe to assume after this request of hers for US Open 2024 tickets, that she had been following the competition closely.
This further becomes evident from her latest tribute to another US Open player, Naomi Osaka. After Osaka came back to the court on the back of one year of maternity leave, she staged an epic comeback against Jelena Ostapenko. This led to her breaking down while giving a post-game interview.

Well, Nicole was quick to catch on to those emotions as she shared the clip on her IG story, captioning, “She means so much to the world of tennis. So much to women in sports, So much to mental health advocates. So much to motherhood. Just love her.” But this was not the only time Kelce’s ex has come out in admiration of athletes.
During the Paris Olympics, Nicole celebrated Simone Biles’s breathtaking triple-twisting move that left the audience in awe of her talents. Coming back from a left calf injury, Nicole offered her praises asking, “Are we sure she is not AI.” Well, the cheers didn’t stop there, as Nicole dropped yet another story, this time tagging Biles, “@simonebiles forever in awe!”

From looking at her social media activities, you can probably get all the updates on her personal and professional life. As Nicole’s support for black athletes could be traced to her devastating break-up with Travis Kelce.
Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole’s open thoughts on black girls
Last year, Nicole posted a video on her Instagram that sent a strong message to a certain section of her followers. Her message read, “Black girl, you don’t have to participate in this tumultuous, often one-side journey. Preserve your heart. Even when they try to quantify your character and test your boundaries, you do not have to engage. The rage of the work is loud. But Black girl, your God is louder, and your tribe is stronger.”

This message came when rumors surfaced that Kelce and Taylor Swift could be in a new relationship. Therefore, Nicole was subjected to constant harassment and negative comments on her social media. But before concluding her letter to the masses, Kelce’s ex added, “Most importantly, I want to remember that you are loved. You are valued. You are allowed to take up space; You deserve protection and your feelings. They matter, too.”
