Former television reporter Kayla Nicole was in an on-and-off relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for five years before splitting in May 2022. While Kelce has since moved on with pop icon Taylor Swift, Nicole too is currently in the dating scene in search of “down-to-earth, fun person”.

Having put her relationship with Kelce behind her, she mentioned a desire to break away from her previous “type” of man and is now open to looking for different qualities in a potential partner.
In an exclusive interview with Life & Style Weekly, Nicole candidly discussed her dating preferences and talked about being open to a good, loving man.
According to Kayla, the perfect match for her would be someone of good character, family-oriented, straightforward, and in possession of virtues such as honesty and kindness.
When the host chimed in with the question, asking “Not negotiable?” the reporter-turned-entrepreneur responded,
“I really am just open to whoever is going to be a good, loving, down-to-earth, fun person that I can have a good time with.”
She was then asked whether her previous relationships influenced this shift in priorities.
Nicole clarified that dating in today’s world can be tough, and for her, the choice of a partner stems from personal growth gained through experience.

From being a successful entertainment journalist for brands like Global Grind to owing the fitness brand, Tribe Therepē to modelling for Revolve and Fenty, Nicole has left a mark on popular culture herself.
That said, aside from her popularity as Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Nicole has made a name for herself in sports broadcasting, having previously covered NFL and NBA games from the sidelines.
So it’s only makes sense that she wants to avoid rushing into marriage and parenthood. So the former NFL and NBA journalist plans to freeze her eggs to make that choice later in life when the time is right; a recurring theme with the fitness enthusiast.
Nicole on marriage, motherhood and the right time
As the conversation progressed, Nicole shared her thoughts on the expectations placed on women regarding marriage and motherhood — a recurring theme in women’s lives across the world.
Despite these pressures, Nicole is quite determined to not let them influence her decisions.
“I think that’s the next step for me because it’s like no pressure… I’m not stressing about getting married. I’m not stressing about having kids… It’ll happen when it’s supposed to happen.”
Egg freezing, also known as Oocyte Cryopreservation, gives women a chance to protect their fertility. This procedure involves collecting eggs from the ovaries and preserving them for the future.
This will definitely help the Pepperdine University alum to take charge of when she wants to start a family while still focusing on her career aspirations. Pretty awesome!
