Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has received a “level of hate” on social media.
The 32-year-old YouTuber dated NFL player Kelce, 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.
“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,” she said while on the “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. “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 Kelce on and off for five years until 2022, noted that the level of fame that Swift, and now Kelce, have attained will attract “crazy people,” and finds the whole thing “unfortunate.”
“I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people,” she said. “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.
“I don’t see myself doing that anytime soon,” she said. “People can’t pick at what they don’t know about. I would just protect my relationships from here on out.”
