Travis Kelce is ‘the man.’ With two Super Bowl titles to his name, his success in the league is a given. Alongside his on-field abilities that continue to amaze fans, the Chiefs TE has slowly built a following off the field as well. While his podcast, ‘New Heights’ alongside his brother Jason Kelce, has taken off, the younger Kelce’s popularity skyrocketed because of the appeal of his overall personality.

Travis Kelce’s easygoing smile, eclectic fashion sense, and excitable personality have made him all the more beloved. One would assume that his outgoing nature would make him the initiator when it comes to his romantic interests. However, in one particular case, that assumption has been proven false. Kelce’s ex-girlfriend’s chat with Kamie Crawford on the latter’s podcast brought to light one instance of interest. From the looks of it, Travis Kelce is guilty of something most of us do.

Travis Kelce was not very subtle

In the day and age where social media takes up a good chunk of our time and focus, it’s not unusual for people to find their partners online. In fact, the common occurrence has carved a catchphrase of its own. Also known as ‘sliding into someone’s DMs,’ the phenomenon of making the first move by dropping a text on social media is today’s ‘meet cute.’

Most people are guilty of lingering for too long on the social media profiles of individuals who catch their attention. Whether or not one makes the first move, there’s often a lot of lingering that occurs. As it turns out, Travis Kelce’s attention was drawn by Kayla Nicole’s Instagram profile. Despite following her account and dropping likes, he made no move to initiate contact. So, after some nudging from her friends, the model gave in and made the first move. Here’s what she said.

Kayla Nicole wasn’t going to let Kelce get away with his lurking presence in her profile. So her conversation starter took a straightforward dig at the TE. Featuring on the ‘Relationsh*t podcast she said, “I DM’d him and I told him that ‘My mom always said that it’s rude to stare and not speak.'” While Nicole wasn’t fully on board with the TE’s lack of initiative, the duo quickly hit it off.

Fans continue to ship Kelce and Nicole

A six-hour-long FaceTime proved that Kelce and Nicole shared chemistry. While they were in a long-term relationship previously, the former couple called it quits sometime last year. However, Nicole’s association with the TE has prompted a wave of attention from the NFL world.

Association with high-profile athletes, especially on the romantic front, has consequences of its own. While the duo has seemingly moved on, the NFL world still manages to rope them into online conversations around each other. At present, there is no concrete evidence that points to either of the two being involved with other people. Therefore, fans have had free reign over the narrative and continue to hope for their reunion.
