'I took full responsibility': Kayla Nicole opens up on having full custody and being a single parent after split from Travis Kelce
In a refreshingly candid episode of her podcast The Pre-Game, Kayla Nicole revealed the emotional and financial toll of taking full custody of the dogs she once shared with NFL star . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though she never names Kelce directly, the longtime on-again, off-again relationship they shared from 2017 to 2022 is well known—and so are their two dogs, Chauncey and Rambo. Kayla Nicole opens up about life after Travis Kelce and the cost of being a solo pet parent During a heartfelt conversation with guest Nazanin Mandi, the topic of post-breakup pet custody came up. Mandi explained how she and ex-husband Miguel now each care for one of their cats, prompting Nicole to reflect on her own situation. 'I have dogs with the previous partner, and I got both the dogs,' she shared. 'I took full responsibility.' "The Power to Recreate Your Identity,' Nazanin Mandi Tells All That full responsibility hasn't come cheap. 'I had a dog bill the other day that was $2,000,' she said, adding with a laugh, 'And I love my kids, but how did y'all come to that conclusion because that's impressive?' Nicole admired the maturity behind Mandi's arrangement with Miguel, noting, 'That speaks to the relationship you guys still have. That means you guys are in a good, healthy, safe space to be able to make adult decisions. ' Nicole's role as a pet mom began during her relationship with Kelce, when she first introduced Chauncey in a 2017 Instagram post filled with humor and love. 'I would like to formally introduce you all to our son Chauncey Gallagher Kelce The First,' she wrote, noting his quirks like eating his own poop and burying it in the couch. 'Me love him,' she ended, adding the hashtag #NationalTakeYourSonToWorkDay. While Nicole has made subtle nods to Kelce in past interviews, she's growing weary of being defined by that chapter of her life. On a recent Second Wind podcast, she expressed frustration over being labeled as "Travis Kelce's ex." She explained, 'You sit down and you do an hour-long interview with someone and the headline is maybe a one sentence that you said... It's like, 'Damn, girl, did you listen to anything?''

Kayla Nicole opens up about heartbreak, healing, and why 'losing to a useless person' stings more While Nicole didn't name Swift directly, her message was loud and clear. 'Kudos to those who can admit that the new girl is hot,' she said. 'Our exes deserve love just as much as we do.' But it wasn't all peace and positivity. In one of her more pointed observations, she reflected on the reality many women face post-breakup: 'It's worse if the guy you loved is dating a useless person.'

Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole sends gracious message to Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce 's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has sent a gracious message to Taylor Swift while offering a fan some advice about his love life. The Kansas City Chiefs star and Nicole dated on and off for around five years before eventually deciding to part ways in 2022. In September 2023, Kelce then went public with Swift when she watched him play against the Chicago Bears in the NFL. The couple have enjoyed a whirlwind and very public romance since then with Nicole often in the headlines. But, during a recent episode of her Pre Game podcast, Nicole took a call from a listener who asked for advice about getting over her ex-boyfriend who is now dating a 'bad b****'. Nicole's response was extremely gracious towards Swift, admitting it's 'really beautiful' to think your ex's new partner is 'hot'. She said: 'I want to say that it's really beautiful that you have the capacity to acknowledge that his new girl is hot. 'And I think as a woman, something that we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping. She might be the s***. She might be really hot and there's no problem in admitting that. 'Say you play basketball and you're in the playoffs and you lose in the second round, and the team that you lose to goes on to win the championship. All I'm saying is, if I'm gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now. 'I want you to move on and go do your big one. Make me look good. 'It's so much worse if the guy that you loved and you dated for so long and you're so heartbroken over goes and starts [dating] a dud. Now you look stupid, he looks stupid, we all look stupid. Everybody's questioning your taste. 'So kudos to you for acknowledging she's hot. Give her her flowers. And the reality is them over there, whatever they're doing is their business. They deserve love as much as you do.' It is the second piece of great news that Swift has received in the past 24 hours. In a lengthy note posted to her official website on Friday, Swift announced she has regained control over her entire body of work. She wrote: 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me.' The pop star said she purchased her catalog of recordings - originally released through Big Machine Records - from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. She did not disclose the amount. In recent years, Swift has been rerecording and releasing her first six albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. 'I can´t thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now,' Swift addressed fans in the post. 'The best things that have ever been mine... finally actually are.' 'We are thrilled with this outcome and are so happy for Taylor,' Shamrock Capital said in a statement.

Kayla Nicole, 's ex, is on an intense fitness "mission" to grow her glutes and shrink her waist, sharing her painful journey. She's also calling out the "BBL culture" in fitness, emphasizing that true results come from hard work, not shortcuts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Her "Tribe Therepē" brand promotes redefining fitness from the inside out. Travis Kelce's ex details her fierce, honest fitness journey Kayla Nicole, a fashion influencer and podcaster known for her past relationship with Travis Kelce, is currently embarking on her most intense fitness journey yet. Living by the mantra, "Life handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out of it," she tackles challenges head-on. Her brand, Tribe Therepē, advocates for redefining fitness from the inside out, a philosophy she deeply embodies. Nicole has often stated, "The gym became my safe space, like my therapy. It was two hours, an hour a day, where I could literally just zone out and commit time to myself – I got addicted to the results, to how it made me feel, and the endorphins too." She's now channeling this dedication into a rigorous new personal goal. Nicole recently shared glimpses of her strenuous leg day workouts on Instagram, revealing the intense effort involved. Her trainer, Gerald Washington, posted clips showing her in clear discomfort during a cable deadlift, adding the caption, "Clearly this targeted exactly where I wanted it to." Nicole herself echoed the sentiment, stating, "In here fighting for my life," highlighting the grueling nature of her current routine. Washington explicitly outlined their objective: "Mission grow the glutes/shrink the waist has commenced." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This two-pronged focus on sculpting her physique showcases Nicole's unwavering commitment and her dedication to inspiring others through authentic effort, rather than resorting to fitness shortcuts. Nicole's dedication to transparency extends to her Pre-game Podcast, where she recently addressed a significant concern within the fitness industry with her trainer. An Instagram reel she shared framed the discussion perfectly: "BBL culture is reshaping bodies – but also reshaping expectations… Should trainers/influencers have to disclose their surgery/weight loss meds if attempting to promote their fitness journey?" On her podcast, Kayla Nicole asked Gerald Washington: "Having a BBL (Brazilian Bu-t Lifts) and selling training programmes is okay, truth of trash?" He replied, "Having a BBL is not wrong... If you're promoting this bu-t came from squats and this bu-t came from hard work… and you actually got a BBL… Then no, that's not okay. It's being deceitful." Both agreed misrepresenting cosmetic procedure results as natural is unethical. Also Read: Kayla Nicole's intense training embodies her belief in authentic effort. She champions high-intensity workouts as the true path to fitness, declaring, "This is how you train smart, not just hard. – If you're not hip thrusting, what are you even doing?" Her actions consistently prove her dedication over quick fixes.

Travis Kelce's Ex Kayla Nicole Raises Eyebrows as She Admits It's 'Really Beautiful' to Think Your Ex's New Girlfriend is 'Hot'
Kayla Nicole dished out advice on her podcast, The Pre Game, to a caller who asked about getting over an ex-boyfriend who has a new girlfriend The sports broadcaster, who dated Travis Kelce on and off for five years until 2022, explained why it's "beautiful" the caller thinks her new ex's girlfriend is "hot" Nicole shared an update on her relationship status, including what "season of life" she's in romanticallyKayla Nicole is moving on. The media personality, 33, opened up about how to come to terms with an ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend during a recent episode of her Pre Game podcast, and dished out advice on how to cope with jealousy in the wake of a breakup. Nicole, who notably dated Travis Kelce, 35, on and off for five years until splitting in 2022, helped out a "hotline" caller who dialed into the podcast's new advice segment to ask about getting over her ex-boyfriend who's now dating "a bad b----" and she's "jealous." The sports broadcaster began by telling the 22-year-old caller that she remembers feeling "the exact same way" that she did at her age, suggesting that she still gives herself "the space and the time" to heal, despite their breakup being three years ago. After dishing out several other tidbits of advice, Nicole then praised the caller for uplifting her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. "I want to say that it's really beautiful that you have the capacity to acknowledge that his new girl is hot," she told the caller during the episode released on Friday, May 30. "And I think as a woman, something that we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping. She might be the s---. She might be really hot," she continued, adding, "And there's no problem in admitting that." Nicole compared the instance to sports and used an analogy to back up her point. "Say you play basketball and you're in the playoffs and you lose in the second round, and the team that you lose to goes on to win the championship. All I'm saying is, if I'm gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now," she explained. "I want you to move on and go do your big one." "Make me look good," she emphasized. "It's so much worse if the guy that you loved and you dated for so long and you're so heartbroken over goes and starts [dating] a dud. Now you look stupid, he looks stupid, we all look stupid. Everybody's questioning your taste." "So kudos to you for acknowledging she's hot," Nicole concluded. "Give her her flowers. And the reality is them over there, whatever they're doing is their business. They deserve love as much as you do." Nicole then went on to share an update on her own relationship status. While she said she gave out her number "to a few folks" recently, she made clear that she's prioritizing her own well-being first. "That's really what the season of life that I'm in right now, too, is doing the work so that I can attract what it is that I desire," she explained. "So I'm going to love me in all the ways so that I can teach others how to love me." Opening up about her past relationship with Kelce isn't something new for Nicole, who's been open about the hardships she's faced in the wake of their split since he's gone on to date Taylor Swift. In May, she slammed people who continuously refer to her as his "ex." "You sit down and you do an hour-long interview with someone and the headline is maybe a one sentence that you said of, 'Yeah, I was heartbroken and devastated because I went through a breakup' and that's the headline," she said on the Second Wind podcast. "Like, 'So-and-so's ex is devastated still and she's sad and she's depressed," Nicole continued. "It's like, 'D---, girl, did you listen to anything?' I am human, and I take it with a grain of salt now. One day they're going to have to stop calling me someone's ex." Read the original article on People
