Kayla Nicole kept things professional Monday when discussing ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce on the “I Am Athlete Daily” show, where she briefly spoke about the tight end’s quiet start to the season.
When conversing about sports betting ahead of the Chiefs’ Monday night clash against the Saints, Kayla — who dated Kelce on and off for years — referenced that it’s been “a slow start for the guy Travis Kelce” before asking whether he would get more than 58.5 receiving yards.
Kelce, 35, had 70 receiving yards in Kansas City’s 26-13 win over New Orleans.
I Am Athlete is a new media venture that is covering sports and entertainment with Nicole, who formerly worked as a Lakers host, as one of the contributors.
She is also a model and influencer.
While some on social media speculated about Kayla’s demeanor when discussing the Chiefs tight end, others lauded the on-air host for how she handled the situation.
“She kept it professional and classy. She’s moved on,” one Instagram user commented.
“It’s not personal it’s business baby!” another exclaimed.
Kelce has struggled this year, averaging the fewest yards per catch (9.5) in his 12-year NFL career.
He has not scored a touchdown through five regular-season contests in 2024.
Kelce and Kayla called it quits for good in 2022.
A year later, Kelce began his romance with music sensation Taylor Swift and well, the rest is history.
Swift, 34, attended 13 Chiefs games in 2023 and has attended three this season, including Monday’s victory.
The pop superstar was featured on the ESPN broadcast as she took in Kansas City’s Week 5 win with her dad, Scott Swift, and pal Brittany Mahomes, who is married to Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
Swift and Kelce later enjoyed a postgame moment in an Arrowhead Stadium suite.
Kelce and the Chiefs improved to 5-0 on Monday and are on a bye in Week 6.
They’ll visit the 49ers in Week 7.
