Kayla Nicole reminds Travis Kelce what he's missing with a sizzling photo shoot
The glamorous shoot quickly became another Travis Kelce talking point
Kayla Nicole shared the latest images with her nearly one million Instagram followers, posing in a fitted mini dress with black pointed-toe heels and voluminous hair as she leaned fully into the fashion-forward setting.
The 34-year-old model, sports journalist and podcast host kept the caption short, writing: “I can tell you miss me.”
Some followers immediately connected the message to Travis Kelce , Nicole’s former boyfriend, even though she never said the post was directed at him.
“I know d*** well @killatrav does miss you,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “He sure is gunnna miss you.”
Others were more interested in the photos than the subtext. “The Internet is a better place when you are giving us the looks and poses,” one fan wrote, while another simply called Nicole “Stunnnnning.”
Nicole has kept moving since Kelce split
Nicole and Kelce dated on and off from 2017 until 2022, and public interest in their relationship has never entirely disappeared.
She has continued building her own media profile since then, including her work on “Pregame with Kayla Nicole,” while also speaking more openly about dating, relationships and what she wants from a future partner.
“Well, I don't know if I believe in a perfect love story,” Nicole said in a July interview. “I'm grown now.”
She then explained that her expectations are more grounded than idealized.
“Love is hard. Love is a choice every day, choosing the same person, or same family member or same friend, you know? It takes a lot of hard work,” Nicole said. “So I don't even know that I need perfection, [but] I need real.”
Latest post fits tone she has embraced
Nicole has also shown a willingness to joke about her dating history rather than avoid it.
“I keep saying I don't want to date any more athletes,” she said during a 2025 appearance on The Boyfriend Material podcast. “But I'm down to date the owners of the teams.”
She followed that with another line that quickly made the rounds: “I'm really open, the bar is in h*** these days.”
Kelce , meanwhile, is in a very different lane this week, with the Kansas City Chiefs entering their bye at 4-0.
