Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend has gone viral for talking about her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs star again, despite breaking up with him nearly four years ago.
Earlier this month, Kayla Nicole was criticized by social media for seemingly using her romance with the NFL ace to desperately cling on to fame in a Super Bowl ad.
Now, during a TikTok live conversation with ‘Love Island’ star Ace Greene, Nicole said the reason her romance with Kelce failed was down to ‘right person, wrong time’.
When asked why she and the Super Bowl winner went their separate ways, Nicole said: ‘Who knows? Could be compatibility issues, right person, wrong time.’
When asked when her last relationship was, she answered: ‘Probably, like, three years ago now. It’s been a long time.’
The couple eventually called it quits in May 2022 after a five-year on-again, off-again romance.

Less than 18 months later, Kelce invited now fiancee Taylor Swift to watch the Chiefs play against the Chicago Bears. Now the famous couple are busy planning their wedding, which is expected to take place in Rhode Island this summer.
They got engaged in August 2025 after a whirlwind romance that has included a Super Bowl win for Kelce and Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
Fans blasted Nicole earlier this month for her appearance in a Super Bowl ad where she appeared to diss the Chiefs tight end and Swift.
The video ad for the fantasy sports app Sleeper starred comedian Tiffany Haddish and NBA star Ben Simmons promoting their business ‘Simmons and Haddish’ to help people getting ‘ex-communicated’ from their exes after a celebrity breakup.
Nicole’s role saw the script take aim at Swift and Kelce, identifying her in the ad by name and as the ‘Ex of a certain NFL player.’
Fans who saw the ad roasted Nicole for her inability to move on from the relationship that ended nearly four years ago.
‘This is so sad. Sad her family, friends, and so called team aren’t telling her she’s bat shit crazy and knock this crap off. She needs a job. A 9-5. I hear Kohls is hiring!’ one Swiftie posted on X.
Another said, ‘I’m convinced she doesn’t have any friends cuz my friends wouldn’t let me crash out like this after 4 years.’
‘Don’t you think it’s way past time to move on?’ wondered another user.

Nicole has frequently delivered subtle digs at her ex’s new relationship, which has led to Swift responding in the way she knows best.
On her latest album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ fans have speculated that the song ‘Opalite’ contains shade thrown Nicole’s way.
‘You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone and you were just a pose,’ Swift sings on the track.
She continues: ‘And don’t we try to love love? We give it all we got / You finally left the table, and what a simple thought / You’re starving ’til you’re not.’
