Kayla Nicole Calls Trolling Since Travis Kelce Split ‘Overwhelming'

Kayla Nicole emotionally opened up about her split from Travis Kelce on survival reality show, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.

On the second episode of season three, which aired Wednesday (January 8), Nicole was in a confessional when she discussed the immense trolling that she receives over Kelce currently dating Taylor Swift. While Nicole dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on and off from 2017 to 2022, Kelce began dating Swift as early as December 2023.

"Going through a public breakup, just to be frank, it's been overwhelming. I've never experienced anything like it," Nicole said, according to People. The influencer and reporter added that she was "reduced to a headline to something so small as someone's ex-girlfriend."

The 32-year-old went on to explain that her objective for being on Special Forces was to prove to herself that she could master tests of emotion and physicality on the show.

"I feel like if I complete this, it'll be a massive impact for myself. 'Am I doing enough? Am I enough?'" Nicole asked.

While speaking to other recruits, Nicole suggested that she gets "a lot of shit" because of her ex "dating such a mega superstar." Nicole added that she "liked" Swift, calling the musician "very talented."

In October, Nicole appeared on Angel Reese's podcast, Unapologetically Angel, where she detailed that the online trolling has taken a toll on her.

"I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos didn't impact me, it does. Even to this day," Kayla said around the 18-minute mark of the video below. "You can go to my most recent post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I'll never be a talented person and I have no career.”
