Who Is Kayla Nicole? Travis Kelce’s Girlfriend Before Taylor Swift

What does Kayla Nicole do for work?

Much like her former boyfriend, the multi-hyphenate can hustle. Graduating from California’s Pepperdine University in 2013 with a degree in broadcast journalism, “hosting is where my heart is,” she shared in a 2018 Instagram video of herself reporting outside of L.A.’s Staples Center in a Kobe Bryant jersey. 

She’s taken to the field, covering both the NBA and the NFL for the likes of Barstool Sports and ESPN. And proving she has more than one move, she’s interviewed celebrities like Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell and Sterling K. Brown. 

Now a well-known figure herself, the model-slash-influencer has served as an ambassador for brands including Revolve, Crocs, Savage X Fenty, Alo and her own fitness line.

Re-launching Tribe Therepe in 2023, she told People, “It’s focusing on the mental health component of working out, which is really, really important for me.”

Because she had recently, ahem, gone through a “major breakup” and “lost a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time” while neglecting the rest of her health.
