Kayla Nicole, who had previously dated Kansas City Chiefs player, Travis Kelce has spoken up on her latest decision in why she had unfollowed a couple of her friends such as Brittany and Patrick Mahomes. Speaking with PEOPLE, she says that her decision was made to protect herself.
She and Kelce had broken up last year in May 2022 after the two had reconciled after breaking up for some time previously. Kelce is now dating singer Taylor Swift and their romance has blown up all over the internet.
“I do think it’s important to publicly address this because I did publicly unfollow people. The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made.” she expressed.
Nicole continues, “To everyone it’s like, ‘Oh, you broke up a year ago,’ and that meant it’s like a light switch, you turn it on and off and everything goes dead and black and you don’t ever speak to anyone ever again. That’s not reality. I have ongoing relationships with all parties involved.”
She also says that she and Mahomes has had conversations and the love is still there between the two.
“That’s a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn’t change overnight, but publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.” she adds.
“I still love my KC people and my KC community so much, but for me in my life, I have to move forward and everyone has to respect that. And hopefully when they respect that, that means that they’re no longer inserting me into things that do not involve me.” she says of her friends.
She also went in further to share her fitness brand and how excited she is of the relaunch.
“It’s focusing on the mental health component of working out, which is really, really important for me and really resonates with me, and really just encouraging people to mentally take care of themselves . I think that when your mind is in a healthy place, your body will follow.” Nicole says.
