### Kayla Nicole Praised for Professionalism While Discussing Ex Travis Kelce on Air

Kayla Nicole demonstrated her ability to maintain a professional demeanor when talking about her ex-boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. The sports broadcaster showcased her composed and unbothered stance despite addressing Kelce's "slow start" to the football season during a preview of Monday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New Orleans Saints.

In a segment for I Am Athlete Daily, Nicole asked her co-hosts, "Been a slow start for the guy Travis Kelce - do you think that he's going to get more than 58.5 receiving yards?" While she quickly shifted focus to other players, her brief mention of Kelce did not go unnoticed. Many fans lauded Nicole's professionalism, noting her ability to handle the subject matter with grace and dignity.

One Instagram user commented, "She's the true G.O.A.T. She kept it professional and classy. She's moved on," while also taking a swipe at Taylor Swift's passionate fanbase, stating, "It's the Swifties who go on the attack and she's not lowering herself to that nonsense." Others found humor in Nicole's neutral reference to Kelce as "the guy," commending her for the subtle jab. "The way she acted like she didn't know who 'the guy' was oh sis also you've been such a class act," one user wrote, accompanied by laughter emojis.

However, not all comments were positive. Some criticized Nicole for taking the job that would inevitably involve discussing her former partner. One critic remarked, "Lol shawty shoulda sat this one out," while another accused her of "still riding those coattails."

Kelce himself acknowledged his season's slow start earlier this month on his "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. "I was struggling in terms of stats," Kelce admitted. "I was still playing winning football, and that's all that f-king matters." He elaborated on maintaining accountability, noting a particular game where he had avoided dropping the ball but still did not achieve an outstanding performance.

The timing of Nicole's comments coincides with Kelce's budding romance with pop sensation Taylor Swift, which began in the summer of 2023. Swift has been notably absent from Kelce's last two games, although he assured fans she would be attending the upcoming Monday night game. "She will not be here [today. But] I know she's coming in for the game," Kelce shared at the Kelce Car Jam charity event.
