Kayla Nicole seems to have a new favorite gymnast. The ex-girlfriend of Travis Kelce was left in awe after Simone Biles led Team USA to a seventh straight world title in 2023. The skills of the seven-time Olympic gold medalist on the floor led the 33-year-old singer to post, “@simonebiles forever in awe!” on Instagram. She also showed her love for the gymnast, when she made her stunning comeback on the Olympic stage in Paris. But for now, Nicole is busy obsessing over one of Biles’s teammates.

If one were to ask anyone who the greatest gymnast of all time is, their answer would probably be Simone Biles. At the Paris Olympics, she won three gold medals and bagged a silver, to become the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast. The Paris Games were her redemption tour, but it was also the scene of success for another US gymnast, Jordan Chiles.

After clinching a silver medal in Tokyo, Chiles helped Team USA to Olympic gold success in Paris and has carried her rich vein of form to the 2024-25 NCAA season. Chiles went on to get the UCLA Bruins’ first perfect 10 of the season on uneven bars and that too in her first routine. Kayla Nicole was quick to express her admiration.

In a story shared on her Instagram, Kayla Nicole posted a pic of 2-time Olympic medal winner Jordan Chiles from her Bruins return. Nicole wrote, “Gotta get to a meet this season (GOAT EMOJI).” Chiles was just magnificent on the night as the Bruins beat Maryland 197.550-194.850 on Saturday.

After a slow start on bars from the Bruins after recording three scores of 9.800 or lower, Chiles anchored the rotation with a perfect 10 and stuck her full-twisting double-back dismount. The mark was the NCAA bars champion’s fifth career 10 on the event and the country’s first perfect mark on bars this season.

After the all-around winning night, Chiles said, “There’s unfinished business in everything that I do,” Chiles said. “I want an all-around title and an NCAA title as a team.” Fresh off Olympic success, she is clearly hungry to make her mark this season. Apart from her success in Paris with Team Gold, she was also in the news over the bronze medal controversy in the floor exercise.

Romania’s Ana Barbosu was initially awarded the gold medal, but Chiles’ coaches filed an inquiry into her score, which was subsequently increased to 13.733, placing her third.

However, the Romanian team filed appeals which resulted in a finding by CAS that Chiles’ inquiry had been submitted four seconds too late, thus giving Barbosu the medal once again. Meanwhile, Chiles has also filed an appeal in the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jordan Chiles the new GOAT, or does Simone Biles still reign supreme in gymnastics?

Have an interesting take?

The words of appreciation for Chiles by Nicole will serve as encouragement for the young gymnast. The singer has shown her support for Biles in Paris as well when she performed a triple-twisting move. Taking to her IG, she amusingly questioned, “Are we sure she is not AI?”

Meanwhile, Biles has also been enjoying the company of Taylor Swift, the current girlfriend of the Chiefs star Kelce. Interestingly Simone Biles is a big ‘Swiftie’.

Both Swift and Biles are often seen supporting their significant others during their NFL games. Talking about the NFL, Kelce and the Chiefs will be facing the Buffalo Bills for the AFC championship, while Owens and the Bears had a disappointing season and were unable to qualify for the playoffs.

Taylor Swift is always there to support Travis Kelce

Kelce and the Chiefs have easily been the most dominant team in the NFL for the last 3 seasons. Kelce has played a pivotal role for them during this time, and Swift has always been there to support him. This was again visible as Swift was seen cheering the Chiefs on during their recent playoff win against the Texans. Swift, along with WNBA star Caitlin Clark, watched Kelce catch seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.

The Chiefs TE was just exceptional as he had his 14th straight playoff game with at least 70 yards receiving. This was also his 15th in a row with at least five catches, both NFL records. Just Amazing!! Kelce would be looking to break some more records and improve on his own when the Chiefs face the Bills on the 26th. That will be a very important game for Kelce as the Chiefs march on toward their extraordinary goal of achieving a 3-peat.

Well, Swift will definitely be cheering on Kelce during the game, whether she’s at the stadium or watching from somewhere else. The question now is, will Kelce and the Chiefs do the unthinkable and achieve their goal? Well, they have been playing exceptionally well and it would be a tough task for anyone to stop them. One thing is for sure, it will be a great game between the Bills and the Chiefs.
