Although Kelce “liked” several of her posts, he never DMed her, prompting Nicole to make the first move. “Sooooo after some liquid courage and a pep talk from @queenb (something along the lines of ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR’) I saw him on New Years,” he added.
The two began dating five months after the Kansas City Chiefs player and his Catch Kelce dating show winner, Maya Benberrycalled quitting.

The duo showed off their couple style at the Thom Browne Menswear Spring Summer 2020 show in Paris Fashion Week. Nicole paired a white bodice top with mint green plaid pants. Kelce, for his part, accessorized his white button-down pants and gray plaid with a large gold watch, sunglasses and brown loafers.
Kelce and Nicole took a break from football to sit courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
The exes broke up after three years of dating amid rumors of infidelity. “This is fake news … a lie … and not why Kayla and I broke up … please take all your hate elsewhere,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet, according to a photo held by TMZ. The two went on to delete each other from their respective social media accounts.
Kelce confirmed that he and Nicole are back together during a live video with the WNBA star Chiney Ogwumike. “So obviously we have the mother. Mum, dad, brother Jason – big grizzly guy. Then my girlfriend Kayla,” he said in unison TMZ interview with a Los Angeles Sparks player. “Kayla is definitely on the list. It always has to be done big for Kayla.”
The pair attended the 11th Annual NFL Honors together and stepped out for a hockey double date with Patrick a Mahomes of Brittany.
Kelce and Nicole separated for well under two years after their reconciliation. Barstool Sports it was reported at the time that the relationship ended because Kelce forced Nicole to pay for half of everything they did together. Nicole denied the outlet’s claims, calling them garbage and inaccurate via X (formerly Twitter). In a since-deleted TikTok video, Nicole said she felt stupid for thinking their long-running romance would end in marriage.
That September, Nicole poked fun at the media attention she got due to the breakup in a funny incident TikTok mail. “When I literally do anything at all on this internet,” she captioned a video of herself using a video filter to make it look like she was being chased by the police.
Kelce addressed the “crazy” rumors that he and Nicole broke up because he was “too cheap” during an interview on “The Colyn Podcast.” He explained: “Don’t buy into that s—t. I would never say I support (her). She had a very stable life financially and what she was doing in her career.”
Kelce noted that they all loaned each other money from time to time to pay for things like food. “I mean, we were in a relationship for five years,” she added. “There wasn’t even a thought about a hundred dollars here and a hundred dollars there.”
It seems that Nicole has long shadowed her former trolls and the internet Instagram video as Kelce continue to make headlines about his relationship with Taylor Swift.
“Dear Black girl, they might call you a traitor for falling in love. You’ll hope that those closest to you will protect you, but you’ll quickly discover that people don’t protect what they don’t value,” he said to the camera. “They’ll say you’re too much, too provocative, too loud, too blunt. And in the same breath tell you that you are not enough. Not successful enough, not healthy enough, maybe not even intelligent enough. They will say you deserve the backlash and embarrassment. Because of your blackness, you should have known better. They will even try to tie your worth to your net worth.”
Nicole continued: “You don’t have to go through this tumultuous, one-sided journey often. Keep your heart even when they try to quantify your character and make the most of your boundaries you don’t have to engage. You don’t have to respond. because there is strength in your silence. and you can use the same power to silence the noise and self-doubt.”
Nicole revealed to People that her mental and physical health suffered after going through a “big break up and big life change” in 2022, the same year as the Kelce split. Following the breakup, she decided to start therapy to help improve her mental and physical well-being.
“If I didn’t (go to therapy), I don’t know how I’d react right now,” he added, referring to Kelce and Swift’s romance. Nicole noted that she wishes she could have told herself in the past to “book the f—k up” for 2023, noting, “You thought the worst was already over, but buckle up and take it all the tools right now and put them in your bag because you’re going to need them.”
Nicole joined a cast of Special Forces: The World’s Worst Test term 3 a Kelce was briefly mentioned in a teaser.
“Going through a public breakup, it’s been overwhelming,” she admitted.
