'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?''

'Will get you slapped': Kayla Nicole threatens gym-goer after vaping incident and slams Swifties for toxic hate post-Kelce breakup
Kayla Nicole recently faced an unpleasant incident at a gym (Image via Instagram) Model and influencer Kayla Nicole, who dated NFL star Travis Kelce for five years before their 2022 split, found herself at the center of a disturbing gym incident over Memorial Day Weekend. The outspoken media personality took to Instagram to vent about an uncomfortable interaction that left her visibly frustrated — and it had nothing to do with her famous ex. A gym member's disrespect sparks outrage In a now-viral Instagram Story, Nicole shared that a fellow gymgoer blew vape smoke in her face while attempting to use the same equipment she was using. "Blowing your blueberry eggs and ham vape smoke in my face in the gym while trying to ask if I'm done with the smith machine will get you slapped. tf wrong with all?" she wrote, pairing the caption with a workout selfie. Clearly fed up, she later posted a short video showing the vape device on the gym floor, adding, 'I want to step on it.' Though she didn't name the individual, her message was clear: public gym etiquette is no place for invasive behavior — especially when it crosses personal boundaries. Still under scrutiny after Travis Kelce breakup While the incident itself caught attention, Nicole continues to be a lightning rod for online hate — largely fueled by her past relationship with Travis Kelce and his high-profile romance with global superstar Taylor Swift . Despite having moved on, Nicole says that critics, particularly Swift's fans, have been relentless. On the Second Wind podcast, Nicole addressed the constant backlash. "People will always say, 'Get over it,' which is so interesting," she said. "And to them I'd say, 'You too.' Life handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out of it and that upsets people." She's also spoken candidly about the emotional toll of the breakup and its aftermath, especially in the era of social media. "Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media,' Nicole said. Nicole told WNBA star Angel Reese during a separate conversation that the 'combination of everything' nearly made her want to disappear. From baseless insults to degrading comments, she's been on the receiving end of vitriol that many believe has less to do with her actions and more to do with being associated with Kelce and Swift. 'It is nothing to do with me,' she said. 'I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people.'

Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole fumes over gym member's disgusting act: 'Will get you slapped'
Travis Kelce 's ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole was left seething over the bank holiday weekend after suffering an unpleasant encounter with a fellow gym member. Nicole, who dated Kelce on and off for around five years before they went their separate ways in 2022, took to Instagram on Sunday to vent her frustration after claiming the gym member in question puffed vape smoke directly in her face. Along with a selfie of her enjoying a workout, the influencer and media personality wrote on her story: 'Blowing your blueverry [sic] eggs and ham vape smoke in my face in the gym while trying to ask if I'm done with the smith machine will get you slapped. tf wrong with yall?' She then shared footage of the vaping device on the floor in the gym and said: 'I want to step on it.' Nicole did not reveal the culprit, while it is also unclear which gym she is a member at - though vaping is prohibited inside most fitness centers across the US. The social-media star was also left fuming earlier this month after being told to 'get over' Kelce amid the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's romance with Taylor Swift. She clapped back at those comments during an appearance on the 'Second Wind' podcast, where she discussed her past relationships albeit without addressing Travis by name. 'People will always say, "Get over it", which is so interesting,' Nicole said. 'And to them I'd say, "You too."' 'Life handed me lemons and I made a lemon martini out of it and that upsets people.' Nicole added that sharing her story and past break-up has been her 'super power' and helped her be more authentic with her fans. 'It's a chapter in my story and in a lot of ways I think it was a catalyst to a lot of great change and motivation and self-help in my life,' Nicole continued. 'I started going to therapy because of what I went through, and I think that drastically changed the way I navigated the world.' 'I'm honestly thankful for every obstacle I've gone through in my life. It has made me who I am. And if you take away all the hurtful or the sad moments in my life, I wouldn't be Kayla.' Nicole also did not mention Swift by name, with some believing it is good for her brand to stay in the orbit of the 14-time Grammy Award winner and Kelce. However, she did state she is looking forward to eventually not being referred to as 'so-and-so's ex' in the media.

Maren Morris Makes Surprising Claim About Meeting Carrie Underwood
When we think of meeting our celebrity idols, we picture waiting in a long meet-and-greet line or standing outside a concert venue late after a sold-out show. Maren Morris has a completely different story about meeting country icon Carrie Underwood for the first time. On a recent clip of her interview from The Howard Stern Show, Morris revealed how she first met the country singer: in a writer's room. When asked who the first big star she got to work with was, Morris replied that her publisher received a call from Underwood's team asking to work with the young singer/songwriter. "That was my first big, like, artist to be in the room with," Morris said. "And I had never even had a song recorded by her. So I felt like that was a really great sign that she just had heard something I had written and loved and was like, 'I want to know who wrote this and write with them.'"Despite writing two pieces, Morris and Underwood's songs from that day were never recorded, though according to Morris, this was probably for the best. "I'm kind of relieved she didn't record them because I just would have gotten even more arrogant if I, on the first bat artist co-write, had gotten two cuts," Morris joked. Before her own breakthrough with her album Hero, Morris co-wrote songs for household-name country singers, including "Last Turn Home" for Tim McGraw and "Second Wind" for Kelly Clarkson. 🎬 🎬
