<\/div>\n<\/div>Kayla Nicole\u00a0is addressing her “public breakup” with\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0in her upcoming appearance on season 3 of\u00a0Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0preview of the Fox show, Nicole, 32, is introduced alongside other star competitors set to rough it on season 3, like\u00a0Denise Richards\u00a0and\u00a0Brody Jenner. The influencer appears to wipe away tears and her voiceover shares, “Going through a public breakup, it’s been overwhelming.”<\/p>\n
In a following clip from the series, a fellow contestant asks Nicole who her ex is, and she whispers to confirm the name of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.<\/p>\n
In October 2024, the sports commentator appeared on an episode of\u00a0Angel Reese\u2019s\u00a0Unapologetically Angel\u00a0podcast and spoke out about the negativity she’s faced on social media since Kelce, 35, started dating\u00a0Taylor Swift, 34.<\/p>\n
“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos didn’t impact me, it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said.<\/p>\n “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,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Reese asked Nicole why she thinks she has been subjected to so much hate after handling the end of their five-year, on-off relationship with\u00a0\u201cgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n “I don’t know,” Nicole responded. “I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, and it’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”<\/p>\n The media personality started dating Kelce in 2017, and the duo were involved in an on-again, off-again relationship for five years. Nicole previously revealed that they first connected through Instagram. “He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months,” she revealed in a\u00a0since-deleted Instagram Stories post captured by TMZ.<\/p>\n Following rumors of their breakup in January 2023 \u2014\u00a0including speculation that they parted ways for financial reasons \u2014\u00a0Kelce set the record straight\u00a0during an interview with\u00a0The Pivot Podcast\u00a0<\/em>in January 2023: “Don’t buy into that s—,” he told the hosts.<\/p>\n Since Kelce and Swift\u00a0confirmed\u00a0their romantic relationship\u00a0in September 2023, Nicole has made an effort to “move forward” with her life. This included unfollowing friends\u00a0Brittany and Patrick Mahomes\u00a0on Instagram.<\/p>\n Season 3 of\u00a0Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test<\/em>\u00a0will premiere on Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In a sneak peek of the show’s season 3, the influencer whispered the NFL star’s name to another contestant wondering who she dated in the spotlight Travis… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Kayla](\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/Uf-wStfg5BHxnf2DGl4OLIjUXXo=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(749x0:751x2):format(webp)\/kayla-nicole-tout-101023-a95811f1abf348e1815fc359d8d7aaf3.jpg\")
