Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, revealed that she is no longer open to dating athletes but would consider dating team owners. Aside from Kelce, Nicole has been associated with footballer Micah Parsons and basketball player Ivan Shumpert.
Nicole was in conversation with Harry Jowsey, reality star and podcast host of Boyfriend Material, when she spilled the beans about her dating life. During the podcast, Jowsey made a light remark about the idea of co-owning a rugby team in Los Angeles, and the exchange briefly took on a teasing tone.
She asked if he had “owner friends” before mentioning that she was trying to avoid dating athletes but might be open to someone on the ownership side.
I keep saying I don’t want to date any more athletes, but I’m down to date the owners of the teams.
Nicole explained on the podcast
Jowsey quickly hinted at himself, but she responded gently that he seemed like someone who had “10 other, 20 other women,” which set Jowsey momentarily aback.
She also added that while she looks for a potential partner in life, she’s trying to keep the conditions for a partner on the down low. She said that she’s “really just open” and that “the bar is really in hell these days.”
Though she’s trying to minimise the non-negotiable, she did name a few qualities she’s looking for when Jowsey pushed her to answer. Nicole noted that the partner should be employed, explaining that she’s more invested in their personality and character. Furthermore, she admitted that as she grew older, her outlook on love had also shifted significantly.
I want someone who has integrity and ambition and [is] romantic. I do have a list in my phone. I write down the things that I want in life. I added that to my list recently: A man that is very romantic.

Harry Jowsey has been linked with several reality stars and influencers, including his whirlwind romance with Francesca Farago during and after the first season of Too Hot To Handle.
Kayla Nicole addressed the alleged Halloween dig on Travis Kelce
Kayla Nicole dressed up as Toni Braxton’s look from her 2000 music video “He Wasn’t Man Enough” for Halloween this year. The inspiration got everyone speculating whether this was a subtle diss at her former beau, Travis Kelce, and his recently engaged fiancée, Taylor Swift.

After the cyberbullying that followed the look reveal, Nicole confessed to the inspiration for the outfit.
Nicole reflected in an episode of The Pre-Game with Kayla Nicole that she had a friend named Taylor, who was white, and the only friend whose house Nicole was permitted to go over. In one such visit, Nicole heard Taylor’s mom singing the song, and she was proud to know that even people of the white race listened to songs by singers of color. However, that didn’t stop online users from targeting Kayla Nicole.

In her sitdown with Jowsey, she claimed that she’s been overly objectified by the media. She addressed that while her intentions are different, the media and users online add a racy tone to it. She reflected that even wearing a bathing suit at a beach becomes more than what it is.
Like if I put on a bathing suit for example. Like that seemed so sexual. When it’s like I’m at the beach and I don’t really know what the f**k you guys are going to put on…. It’s like literally me at the pool. I’m just hot. Can’t help that you’re attracted to me. It’s not really my problem. Yeah. It’s not my fault.

Online conversations tend to take a wild turn, and Nicole’s comments were proof of that.
