Kayla Nicole has never seemed to truly move on from Travis Kelce. The relationship, which began in 2017 when Kelce was rebounding from a prior one, turned into a passionate affair quickly. However, riddled with many ups and downs, they temporarily split in 2020, before calling it quits for good in 2022. The major life event had affected Nicole on multiple fronts, and her recent revelation on Special Forces suggests she is still hurting.

Special Forces is a pseudo-military training series that features celebrities and athletes going through mentally and physically challenging tasks and tests. Cam Newton has been a guest star alongside Nicole and many others in the latest season.
One challenge saw the competitors writing a death letter to their families before they went off on a duty tour. Nicole’s letter took a heartwrenching turn when she revealed she wished the letter could be addressed to her husband and kids. The sad reality dawned on all: she doesn’t have any.
“Full transparency, 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 I would have that tribe,” said Nicole.
The revelation brought tears to Nicole and the other contestants on the show. Perhaps Nicole’s pain is accentuated since it seems Travis has dealt with the split in a better way than her.
The two were together officially for five years, but sources close to them say it was more like six. This was a serious relationship that could’ve ended in marriage. At least, that’s where Nicole always thought the two would end up.

In October 2023, Nicole told People Magazine that she had to go to therapy following the breakup. The pressure of going through a public split was immensely overwhelming for her.
Kelce, on his part, has moved on and is now going out with the world’s biggest female musical artist. Taylor Swift and his romance have been much celebrated in the football world and media.
Whenever the Kansas City Chiefs star catches a pass in a game, they cut to Taylor. Whenever he looks up to the stands on the sidelines, they cut to Taylor. It’s got to be impossible for Nicole to watch her ex perform without being weighed down. It’s understandable.
However, fan reaction to the post was a bit insensitive, to say the least. Nicole has been trolled since then. When fans see things like this they can’t comprehend how Nicole is still caught up on Kelce.
She is so mad

Well, love hurts and it’s not so easy to just “get over” or “move on” from someone. Especially when it was a six-year relationship. Add in the fact that Kelce is thriving without her, and it’s not surprising that Nicole is still hurting.
Many fans suggested therapy. Well, she already has. Going and talking to a licensed therapist doesn’t magically snap a person out of something and force them to move on. It takes a lot of time and the duration involved is not the same for all.
At the time of the breakup, whenever Nicole talked about or posted something relating to the ordeal, she would get roasted for it. This time is no different.
Anytime she opens her mouth about it, people respond by laughing on her face. Evidently, for Nicole, it’s not just about Kelce, it’s also about the public pressure.
