Kayla Nicole, former girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was front and center on her big night.

For her 32nd birthday celebrations on Wednesday, Kayla sat courtside at Crypto.com Arena, where she took in the Lakers’ overtime win over the Clippers.

The fitness brand owner and influencer showed off her carefree persona at the game.

Kayla’s birthday celebration at the arena was not short on friends and famous faces, however.

The popular K-pop group LE SSERAFIM was seen repping their Lakers gear. Actor Jeremy Renner also got some of the best seats in the house.

Famous names like Swae Lee, Latto, Mike WiLL Made-It, internet star Corinna Kopf, Jimmy Iovine and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer were among the attendees.

The birthday girl was not shy about sharing the birthday festivities with her 747,000 Instagram followers.

She posted her stylish shoes on the court with her friend, Georgie. The two also shared videos of their courtside glam.

Kayla shared a video on her Instagram Story of the skin-tight set she wore to the arena, featuring dragons and swords. She was also seen busting out her best dance moves while in her seat.

Kayla’s birthday posts are on the lighter side of content she has shared over the past few months.

Kayla, who has been the subject of discourse amid Kelce’s new relationship with Taylor Swift, has had to publicly address the criticism and hate she has received on her social media.

She recently made headlines when she unfollowed Kelce’s teammate, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany, on Instagram.

In an interview with People, Kayla said she felt it was “important to publicly address this because I did publicly unfollow people.”

She also told People about her health complications and the road to recovery after the end of her five-year relationship.

“Just full transparency, I went through this major breakup, major life change, and I had lost a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time. I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating,” Kayla said.

Upon going to therapy, Kayla said she “quickly realized, okay, it’s one thing to be physically fit, but it’s another thing to be mentally fit.”

“You could be in the best shape of your life, but mentally, if you are not a healthy person, it’s not going to feel good,” she said.
