The model’s cryptic post sparks speculation amid Kelce and Swift’s engagement buzz

August 29, 2025 – While the world is celebrating the engagement of NFL star Travis Kelce and global pop icon Taylor Swift, Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has sparked fresh headlines with a fiery message on social media that many believe was directed at the couple.

The Engagement Heard Around the World

News of Kelce and Swift’s engagement broke earlier this week, sending fans into a frenzy as the high-profile couple took their romance to the next level. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end popped the question in Kansas City, and Swift, who has supported him throughout his NFL season, said yes.

Kayla Nicole’s Fiery Words

Not long after the engagement announcement, Kayla Nicole — who dated Kelce on and off for nearly five years — shared a cryptic yet pointed message online. In a now-viral Instagram Story, she wrote:
“Sometimes the closure you’re looking for is just realizing that they never deserved you in the first place.”

The post instantly fueled speculation among fans that the message was aimed at Kelce and his new fiancée, Taylor Swift. Many flooded her comments, debating whether Nicole’s words were about heartbreak, empowerment, or both.

Fans React Online

Swifties and NFL fans alike weighed in. Some defended Nicole, praising her honesty and resilience, while others felt she should “move on” and let Kelce live his new chapter. The post has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), trending under hashtags like #KaylaNicole and #TraylorEngagement.

Moving Forward

Despite the online buzz, sources close to Nicole say she’s focused on her career as a sports reporter and influencer. Still, her message served as a reminder that even years after a breakup, emotions can resurface when an ex-partner moves on so publicly.

For now, Kelce and Swift remain at the center of attention with their fairytale engagement — but Kayla Nicole’s words ensured her voice won’t be drowned out of the conversation.
