Travis Kelce’s partner Kayla Nicole is prepared to begin a new phase after choosing to unfollow Brittany and Patrick Mahomes on social media.
“Ending friendships is never easy. However, it’s a natural part of life,” Nicole, 32, shared during an Instagram Story Q&A on Wednesday, November 29. “Sometimes people are only meant to be in your life for a temporary period.”
During a recent interview, Nicole expressed her decision to "publicly unfollow" her close friends Brittany and Patrick, both 28 years old. "I've communicated to these people why I've had to publicly make the decisions that I made," she stated.
Nicole, who had an on-again, off-again relationship with 34-year-old Kelce from 2017 to 2022, unfollowed him shortly after Brittany became friends with his new girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Swift, 33, has been linked romantically to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end since September.
Recently, Swift hosted an NFL viewing party that was attended by Brittany and other Chiefs spouses, including Paige Buechele (wife of former backup QB Shane Buechele) and Lyndsay Bell (wife of tight end Blake Bell) on November 5th.

As Swift and Kelce’s romance continues to make headlines, Nicole has been candid about how her and the athlete’s split affected her mental health. She recalled in an interview with People last month, "I felt like s— and I was sad, and I was having a hard time getting out of bed. It got to the point where I was like, ‘OK, what else can I possibly do?’ So, I started going to therapy."
Nicole indirectly addressed Kelce and Swift's relationship and mentioned that therapy has significantly aided her in coping with her ex's sudden rise to fame. "If I hadn't gone through therapy, I have no idea how I would be handling things at the moment. None at all," she explained.
