“We Met on Instagram and I DM’d Him”: Kayla Nicole Once Divulged How She First Met Ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce

The advent of social media ushered in an era of intrigue with regard to athletes’ personal lives. With no barrier between them and their fans, whatever is shared online becomes public information in a matter of seconds. While some stars choose to keep their private lives hidden from the media, many are quite open about it, even on the romantic front. While that may be great for fans, it can also slowly morph into a not-so-savory situation. What could go wrong with sharing seemingly harmless updates online?

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce may take a while to recover from the high of his Super Bowl victory. Recently, his popularity has skyrocketed partly because of his athletic prowess alongside his online persona. Known for his adventurous personal life, the 33-year-old has had quite a colorful dating history. But the NFL world seems to still be stuck on his previous relationship with model Kayla Nicole. And now, after some of her revelations, fans may be left seeking answers about why the duo ended things. Here’s a look at what she said.

Kayla Nicole and a bold first move on Travis Kelce

Kayla Nicole has received special attention from the NFL world after her relationship with the Chiefs TE came to light. While the duo was still together, Nicole was featured on an episode of Kamie Crawford’s ‘Relationsh*t’ podcast.

Bursting at the seams with excitement and obvious fondness for Kelce, Nicole delved into how the duo first met. She said, “We met on Instagram and I DM’d him. I DM’d him first. I made the slide. But that was after he followed me for a couple of months.” While the model mentioned that the duo didn’t immediately interact, they eventually got there when she took the first step to initiate conversation.

A six-hour-long FaceTime solidified the fact that there was a connection between the two. Unfortunately, after reuniting following their reported split in 2020, Nicole and Kelce called it quits last year. But their connection is still alive in fans’ memories.

Although Kelce and Nicole called it quits, fans have not given up

NFL fans can be quite the nosy bunch when it comes to the private lives, especially the romantic aspects, of their favorite stars. The speculation surrounding Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady’s long-winded public divorce says all that needs to be said about the heightened intrigue among fans.

Despite reports of Kelce’s other romantic interests at present, the NFL world is still holding out hope that the TE will go back to Nicole. Almost every social media post on the model’s Instagram has fans dragging Kelce’s name into the conversation. While fans’ involvement in such a discourse is understandable, the line between interest and obsession has been blurring. Perhaps it’ll serve in everyone’s best interest if fans remember that the people they watch and adore are also human and entitled to do with their lives as they see fit.
