Just a couple months before Kayla Nicole declared she was no longer interested in dating athletes, she posted a flirty tweet directed at Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The NBA tweeted a video that was a close up of Hurts taking in a game courtside, and Nicole quote-tweeted the post. “Fly eagles fly,” she tweeted. This sparked a playful response from fans who called her out for thirsting over the Eagles player. “Y’all have eyes too,” Nicole replied alongside a cry-laughing emoji.
That was one of the more playful social media posts she made about dating, but earlier Nicole expressed regret for her time with Travis Kelce. “You’re not stupid Kayla. No, I am actually. Thought I’d get wifed after dating for 5 year. That’s 1,825 days,” she said in a since-deleted TikTok in August 2023 (via Sportskeeda).
The influencer has noted that she was upset following the break up with her long-time beau. Nicole was very close with Brittany Mahomes — who is famously married to Kelce’s friend and teammate, Patrick Mahomes — but she unfollowed Brittany and Patrick on Instagram after her ex started dating Taylor Swift. “That’s a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn’t change overnight,” Nicole told People in October 2023. “But for me in my life, I have to move forward and everyone has to respect that,” she added. Nicole’s break up with Kelce had been shrouded in controversy and rumors.
