Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole is making it clear she has no interest in celebrating Valentine’s Day this year. The influencer, who previously dated the NFL star for five years, took to social media with a pointed and humorous explanation for her solo status. In a TikTok clip that quickly gained attention, Nicole suggested she’s perfectly fine skipping romance altogether. Her candid remarks arrive after years of public scrutiny tied to Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole skips Valentine’s because she demands to be left ‘alone’
In the now-viral TikTok, Nicole jokingly reenacted a scenario in which she responds bluntly to a man complimenting her. The onscreen caption read, “No valentine cause this is how I talk to men.” Beneath the post, she added another sharp line: “All men do is lie and get their hair cut. Leave me alllllooooooone.”
While the video appeared comedic, some viewers speculated it carried a deeper meaning, particularly given Nicole’s history in the spotlight. She and Kelce ended their on-and-off relationship in 2022, nearly a year before he went public with Swift. Since Kelce and Swift’s romance and later engagement became global headlines, Nicole has frequently found herself dragged into online discourse.
Over the past two years, she has spoken about the toll that social media criticism allegedly took on her. During a 2024 podcast appearance, she admitted the online “hate” and constant comparisons affected her self-worth. “I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just online chaos doesn’t impact me,” she said at the time.
Nicole has also addressed the “ex-girlfriend” label in other public moments, including a Super Bowl commercial where she jokingly referenced wanting to be “ex-communicated” from her past. Despite the public narrative, Kelce and Swift have not responded to her comments.
As for her current relationship status, Nicole has not been publicly linked to anyone since her split from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Still, she’s hinted she hasn’t given up on love entirely. In past interviews, she has described her ideal partner as “honest,” family-oriented, spontaneous, and fun.
