The romantic fireworks and engagement between NFL star Travis Kelce and global pop sensation Taylor Swift have stirred up fresh tension.

Kayla Nicole, sports journalist and Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, has fired a pointed message following the news of Kelce’s engagement to Swift.

KAYLA NICOLE REACTS TO ENGAGEMENT

Kayla Nicole took to Instagram Stories to share a fiery post amid her intense gym workout. Dressed in a vibrant bodysuit, she worked on her glutes and legs while the track Made for This S–t by Gunna played in the background.

Over the video, she wrote: ā€œThe goal? A back that says stop f–king playing with me.ā€ The statement clearly conveyed her steely mindset.

The engagement announcement came just days earlier. Travis Kelce popped the question in his rose-filled backyard, according to Page Six.

TAYLOR SWIFT’S ENGAGEMENT DETAILS

He presented Swift with a dazzling diamond ring reportedly worth around R15 million. The couple shared intimate photos from the special moment, thrilling fans worldwide.

Kayla Nicole, 33, had an on-again, off-again relationship with Kelce from 2017 to 2022. Since their split, Kelce, 35, began dating Swift after catching her eye during her 2023 Eras Tour in Kansas City.

In the days following the proposal, Kayla Nicole also posted a video of actress Tracee Ellis Ross discussing the difference between joy and happiness.

CHOOSING HAPPINESS

Tracee said, ā€œJoy is something that you earn and work for and takes practice.ā€ Kayla reflected on this and wrote: ā€œI aspire. So so good,ā€ referring to a book titled Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough.

Earlier this year, Kayla Nicole showed maturity about Kelce’s new relationship.

On her ā€˜Pre-Game’ podcast, she said, ā€œI think as women, something we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping.

There’s no problem in admitting that.ā€ She added, ā€œIf you’re gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now. Make me look good.ā€

CHOOSING JOY

Amid heartbreak, Kayla Nicole channels strength and self-improvement, inspiring many to ā€˜choose joy’ despite challenges.

As for Kelce and Swift, their new chapter continues to captivate sport and music lovers alike, reminding us that love stories can cross all borders and sometimes cause a stir.
