Kayla Nicole is looking back on her past relationship with Travis Kelce with a new perspective, suggesting that timing and compatibility may have played a role in their breakup.
Speaking during a recent TikTok Live conversation with a participant Love IslandNicole said her last serious relationship ended about three years ago.
When discussing why things didn’t work out in the end, she pointed out the possibility of “right person, wrong time,” adding that compatibility can also change over time.
“Who knows? It could be compatibility issues, right person, wrong time,” she told viewers.
Nicole and Kelce, who play for the Kansas City Chiefs, ended their on-again, off-again relationship for good in May 2022 after about five years together.
Since the split, Nicole has been outspoken about modern dating and recently said she feels expectations have dropped significantly. She joked that having a steady job is now at the top of her list when assessing potential partners.
“It’s kind of sad because I feel like dating in 2026 is just hard. I feel like the bar is in hell. So my new list of requirements is: have a job. That’s at the top of the list.”
Kelce has since moved on with Taylor Swift, with the pair reportedly engaged after dating for two years.
