Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole speaks out on 'hate' she has received online
Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has received a "level of hate" on social media.
The 32-year-old YouTuber dated NFL player Travis, 35, before he struck up a relationship with pop megastar Taylor Swift, 34, and revealed that while they can't really acknowledge each other anymore, he is a "great guy" but she has been described as "worthless" by online trolls.
Speaking on the 'Unapologetically Angel' podcast, she said: "We’ve seen each other in public spaces before but it’s — I think that we’re both aware of the nature of his new situation that there’s just no room really for us to communicate or acknowledge each other publicly without it being spun into something crazy.
"I’ll probably hit him with, like, a head nod. That’s about it."
"He’s a great guy. That was a good time in my life. So many lessons learned, but that’s with every relationship.
"I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos doesn’t impact me. It does, even to this day. 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."
The sports broadcaster - who dated Travis on and off for five years until 2022 - noted that the level of fame that Taylor, and now Travis, have managed to attain will attract "crazy people", and finds the whole thing "unfortunate" because she has never done anything that would warrant negativity towards herself.
She said: "I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people. It’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash."
Kayla was then asked if she would ever consider dating a celebrity again, and admitted that she would be hesitant to do so because she would want to "protect" her private life.
She said: "I don’t see myself doing that anytime soon. People can’t pick at what they don’t know about. I would just protect my relationships from here on out."
