Kayla Nicole, during her recent appearance on the “Boyfriend Material With Harry Jowsey” podcast, revealed her new approach to dating while also taking a subtle dig at her ex, Travis Kelce.
During the conversation, Jowsey mentioned that he’s a part-owner of a professional rugby team in Los Angeles. This prompted Nicole to waste no time in asking if he had any owner friends she could meet, with her reasoning being her preference towards owners more than athletes these days, as she’s completely done with dating athletes.
“I keep saying I don’t want to date any more athletes, but I’m down to date the owners of the teams,” Nicole stated on the podcast (0:34).

Nicole raised eyebrows earlier this year when she dressed as Toni Braxton from the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video for Halloween.
Her costume was supposedly directed at her ex, Travis Kelce, and his fiancée, pop star Taylor Swift. While many saw it as shade toward Kelce and Swift, Nicole denied any intentional dig.
