Travis Kelce ex Kayla Nicole stirs buzz with flirty message on Jalen Hurts video

Kayla Nicole might be a Birds fan.

The model, who previously dated Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce before he got together with Taylor Swift, reposted a video of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and showed love to the Birds.

“Fly eagles fly,” Kayla wrote on X Monday night, when Hurts was seen sitting courtside at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where the Sixers blew out the Lakers, 138-94.

“Y’all have eyes too,” the 32-year-old influencer wrote in a separate post, including a crying-laughing emoji.

Kayla didn’t elaborate further, but some X users noted that Hurts is off the market, while others reminisced on the Chiefs’ win over the Eagles in the 2023 Super Bowl.

Hurts and his girlfriend Bryonna “Bry” Burrows are said to have been dating on and off since their days at the University of Alabama, where the signal-caller played for three seasons before transferring to the University of Oklahoma in 2019.

The couple made a rare red carpet appearance at the TIME100 Next Gala on Oct. 24 in New York City, where they were dressed to the nines in coordinated ensembles. 

Kayla, who is currently single, often posts about her love for sports and previously worked as a sports host.

She supported the Chiefs when she dated Kelce on and off from 2017 to 2022, and attended games with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Kayla and Kelce were also in the Mahomes’ wedding party when they tied the knot in Hawaii in March 2022.

She previously explained that she distanced herself from Brittany and Mahomes last month, when she was dragged into the news as her ex-boyfriend’s romance with Swift continues to dominate headlines.

Kayla also opened up about being caught in a “media storm” and working to take control of the narrative about herself while speaking on the Renaissance Woman panel at Advertising Week in New York on Oct. 18.

It came days after Kayla posted a candid open letter on Instagram, which addressed “backlash and embarrassment.”

Kelce and Swift were first linked in September when she attended the Chiefs’ win over the Bears at Arrowhead Stadium, where she was seen taking in the action in a private suite with his mother, Donna Kelce.

The couple confirmed their relationship the next month when they were spotted out together holding hands in New York City.
