Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole recently opened up about another ex fling that ended brutally over text, and fans seem to have figured out who she was referring to.
While on WNBA star Angel Reese’s ‘Unapologetically Angel’ podcast, Nicole revealed that she had moved to New York with plans to move in with an unnamed man.
However, Nicole said he dumped her via text message and quickly moved on with a famous singer and actress, who Nicole said she dressed up as the following Halloween.
Internet sleuths quickly found photos of Nicole dressed as Teyana Taylor, the ex-wife of former New York Knicks player Iman Shumpert.
Taylor appeared in the 2015 music video for Kanye West’s ‘Fade’ wearing a sports-themed outfit almost identical to the one Nicole ultimately wore for Halloween.

Fans quickly discovered that Nicole had once dressed as Teyana Taylor (right), who eventually married Iman Shumpert.
NBA champion Shumpert and Taylor married in 2016 and have two daughters together. They separated last year.
The singer and Shumpert began dating in 2013, married three years later and had two daughters.
However, they finally broke up last year.
Meanwhile, Nicole dated Kelce, now, of course, pop star Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, from 2017 to 2022.
Nicole talked about that relationship with Reese.
‘My biggest advice when dating an athlete is to always have yours. It’s really easy to get caught up in your dream, in the vision of your life. Something I had to learn early on was that the relationship could end tomorrow and what do you have? she said.
‘At that time it was a long distance relationship, I went back and forth. I was between apartments and I thought “okay, we’re getting married and I’m moving into the house, I don’t really need an apartment.”
‘We broke up, my lease ended, my car lease ended, all at the same time.
He also suggested that the public nature of the breakup and Kelce now dating one of the most famous people in the world in Swift has been difficult.

Kelce has since moved on with pop star Taylor Swift, whom he began dating last year.
“I think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you want to disappear from the world completely,” he said.
‘Behind closed doors, the hardest thing is losing a partner, a best friend, talking every day about cutting ties. Then you add social media.
‘I’d be lying if I said that level of hate and chaos online didn’t affect me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts and people would be debating why I’m worthless.
‘It has nothing to do with me. “I think there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don’t think I’ve done anything to warrant that kind of reaction.”
Still, Nicole said her time with Kelce was a “good time” in her life and called the tight end a “great guy.”
