Kayla Nicole brought in 2026 with a bang.

Travis Kelce’s Ex, Kayla Nicole, is not playing in 2026. She brought in the new year with a bang.

Nicole, who apologized for her behavior on social media in November, has been doing her best to distance herself from the backlash. She triggered people after offensive posts she had previously shared were uncovered.

From daring fashion to bold glam, Nicole’s NYE post proves she’s ready to own 2026. Nicole welcomed 2026 with bold fashion and a chic Instagram post.

Her New Year’s Eve look featured a sultry black dress and a fresh short haircut. The dress appeared to be see-through as she also went braless for the look. She gave several angles of her look.

The model and influencer welcomed 2026 with a series of sultry snaps that highlighted her confidence and style.

“2026 is the year of the horse. Fitting if you ask me. 🐎✨,” she wrote.

While the outfit drew attention for its glamour and boldness, it also reignited public interest in her past relationship with Travis Kelce. Nicole spoke about Kelce extensively last year, which led to major backlash. While she spoke about him, he has since gotten engaged to Taylor Swift.

Kayla Nicole and Swift seemingly had a back-and-forth in 2025 as well. The pop star allegedly had a song directed at her, which Nicole used Halloween to respond to. It seems that she is still waiting for the one for her as she remains single.

Nicole was in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from 2017-2022. She made it clear late last year that she is only interested in dating owners now. No more athletes.

Kayla shared her thoughts on Harry Jowsey’s podcast, “Boyfriend Material.” She got straight to the point about what she’s looking for now. “I keep saying I don’t want to date any more athletes, but I’m down to date the owners of the teams,” she said.

In her past two long-term relationships, Kelce and Iman Shumpert have both left her for other women.
