Travis Kelce’s Ex Kayla Nicole Reveals Her New Rule About Dating Athletes

Kayla Nicole is benching players from here on out. 

The sports journalist—who previously dated Travis Kelce from 2017 to 2022—shared an update on her love life, revealing that she’s no longer looking for romance with a professional athlete.

“I keep saying I don’t want to date any more athletes,” Kayla explained during a Nov. 25 appearance on Harry Jowsey‘s Boyfriend Material podcast, “but I’m down to date the owners of the teams.”

Still, she’s trying not to have too many conditions for a partner, as the 34-year-old quipped that listing “non-negotiables” has gotten her in “some trouble” in the past.

“I’m really just open,” Kayla continued, joking that “the bar is really in hell these days.”

However, if she had to name a few qualities for her future boyfriend, the Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole podcast host shared she does have one request in mind. 

“A job—can we start there?” she said. “You have work to do. You have something to do besides bugging me all day.”
