Is Kayla Nicole obsessed with her ex Travis Kelce? This might be the reason

Kayla Nicole, the ex-girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, is back in the spotlight-and not in the way she probably intended. During her appearance on season 3 of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Nicole opened up about the emotional scars left by her breakup with Kelce, which ended in 2022. But instead of sympathy, her heartfelt revelations have sparked a wave of criticism from fans who believe she's still clinging to the past.

In the show's second episode, Nicole didn't hold back when talking about the impact of her highly public split. "Going through a public breakup, just to be frank, it's been overwhelming," she confessed. She also expressed frustration about being labeled as merely "someone's ex-girlfriend," reducing her identity to her past relationship.

Nicole's emotional vulnerability continued in the latest episode, where she read a letter reflecting on the life she thought she'd have by now. "There's a part of me that wishes I was addressing this farewell to my husband and kids, too. I always thought at this point in my life that I would have that tribe," she shared. Although she never mentioned Kelce directly, the reference was crystal clear.

However, her emotional honesty didn't sit well with everyone. Social media exploded with harsh reactions, as fans criticized her for constantly bringing up Kelce-especially since he's now happily dating global superstar Taylor Swift. "She is so mad," one user mocked. Another commented, "Maybe she should've paid the tab a few times, and Travis wouldn't have dumped her." Others were even more brutal, calling her "bitter" and "jealous."

Is Taylor Swift part of the problem?

Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest Nicole feels pushed out of the Chiefs' social circle due to Kelce's relationship with Swift. Once close with Brittany Mahomes and other Chiefs WAGs, Nicole now finds herself on the outside looking in, which some believe is adding to her frustration.

While Nicole's raw emotions may be genuine, her repeated mentions of Kelce have turned her into an easy target online. Whether she's trying to heal or simply can't let go, one thing is clear: fans aren't offering much sympathy.
