“Been a menace to society.” With these five words, Kayla Nicole set the internet ablaze some weeks back, leaving fans wondering if she’s throwing shade or just having fun. The fitness guru and ex-girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been on a wild ride since their 2022 split, and her latest social media antics are adding fuel to the fire.

On today’s Instagram post, Nicole shared a message adding a affirmatory caption ‘ase’. This post originally posted by Mumen “Mookie” Ngenge, read: “Some people believe I’m single others believe I’m taken. In the midst of the confusion I’ll urge y’all to believe in Jesus.” This cryptic update came hot on the heels of a throwback pic from Nicole’s Kelce-dating days, posted initially on July 18, 2021, with the cheeky caption mentioned above.

Nicole and Kelce’s love story kicked off in 2017, right after Kelce’s stint on “Catching Kelce.” By 2018, they were the talk of the town, turning heads at the ESPYS and Paris Fashion Week. But their relationship was far from smooth sailing.

August 2020 saw their first split amid swirling rumors. They patched things up in February 2022, only to call it quits for good three months later. Kelce later addressed the breakup on “The Pivot Podcast” in January 2023, saying, “I’m in the free market right now, enjoying life, and focused on my profession.”

Since the breakup, Nicole’s social media game has been nothing short of a rollercoaster as well. Remember the pregnancy tease in July? “First donuts, now ice cream. Perhaps I am pregnant by immaculate conception,” she joked, sending fans into a frenzy.

Kayla Nicole sets sights on new relationship goals

While her posts keep fans guessing, Nicole’s been crystal clear about one thing: she’s ready for a change in her love life. In a January 2024 interview on the “Behind the Likes” podcast, she dropped a bombshell about her dating preferences.

“I’ll never say never, but I fully, wholeheartedly believe that I’m out of the athlete stage,” Nicole revealed. This marks a seismic shift for the sports journalist, who’s now eyeing a different league of potential partners.

So, who’s caught Nicole’s eye? She’s looking for men in positions of power, specifically executives from the music or film industry. “I would love to date an executive of a record label or a movie producer so that we can go to the sporting events. Let date night be courtside at the Laker game, that’s my kind of guy,” she explained.

This pivot in Nicole’s dating preferences isn’t just about changing her type. It’s about redefining her identity post-Kelce. “I did that — it was fun. I’m good,” she said, referring to her days of wearing jerseys with someone else’s name.

As Nicole navigates this new chapter, she’s not shy about sharing her struggles. In a recent Instagram story, she confessed, “I’m tired of eating alone. You hear that, universe? God? Okay, bye, I’m gonna go cry in a bag.” It’s a stark contrast to her usually confident online persona, offering a glimpse into the challenges of moving on from a high-profile relationship.

Whether she’s single, taken, or somewhere in between, one thing’s for sure: Kayla Nicole is writing her own playbook now. And we’re all watching to see what her next move will be.
