Kayla Nicole, the ex-girlfriend of Travis Kelce, seemed unfazed by the NFL star\u2019s engagement to Taylor Swift on Tuesday evening, choosing instead to spotlight her family in her first post since the bombshell news broke.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his pop superstar fianc\u00e9e set social media ablaze with their engagement announcement after a whirlwind two-year romance. Swift revealed the news on Instagram with a series of dreamy photos showing Kelce down on one knee, paired with her cheeky caption: \u201cYour English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.\u201d The post immediately went viral, drawing millions of reactions from fans, teammates, and celebrities alike.<\/p>\n

But while the world buzzed about the proposal, Nicole turned her attention elsewhere. Taking to her Instagram story, the influencer proudly shared that her younger sister Layla had transferred to Langston University, an HBCU, where she will be suiting up for the women\u2019s basketball team. Nicole used the moment to encourage fans to support Layla\u2019s program, writing: \u201cThey\u2019re raising funds to support the program this season, and every dollar truly helps these women chase their dreams on and off the court. If you can, tap the link below to donate and show some love to Layla and the LU Lady Lions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicole and Kelce dated on and off for about five years before officially calling it quits in 2022. A year later, Kelce went public with his romance with Swift, when she was spotted cheering him on during a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears in September 2023. Since then, their relationship has grown into one of the most publicized romances in both sports and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Nicole, meanwhile, has often found herself in the spotlight by extension. She has spoken openly about the toll her high-profile breakup took on her, particularly as Kelce\u2019s relationship with Swift became a global talking point. In an interview last year with WNBA star Angel Reese on Unapologetically Angel, Nicole revealed that she and Kelce can no longer even speak if they cross paths in public because of his new \u201csituation\u201d with Swift. She also opened up about the backlash she\u2019s faced from Swift\u2019s dedicated fanbase, admitting the online abuse left her struggling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you want to disappear from the world entirely,\u201d she told Reese. \u201cBehind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend\u2014going from speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media. I would be lying if I said that level of hate and online chaos didn\u2019t impact me, even to this day.\u201d Nicole added that the harassment often spills into her comment sections, with strangers debating her worth, despite her insistence that she has done nothing to warrant such attacks.<\/p>\n

She also previously admitted to a falling-out with Kansas City Chiefs WAGs she once considered friends, including Brittany Mahomes. That contrast was on full display Tuesday, as Brittany was among the first to celebrate Kelce and Swift\u2019s engagement. Posting on Instagram, she gushed: \u201cTwo of the most genuine people meet and fall in love. Just so happy for these two.\u201d Patrick Mahomes joined in as well, reposting Swift\u2019s announcement with three red heart emojis.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs organization also offered a warm tribute, writing: \u201cToday is a fairytale. Congrats to Travis and Taylor\u2014we\u2019re excited to have you as a permanent member of the Chiefs Kingdom family!\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s engagement post included a series of romantic images from the proposal and featured her track \u201cSo High School\u201d\u2014a love song many fans believe was written for Kelce. While the couple\u2019s engagement captivated the internet, Kayla Nicole kept her focus on family, proving that even in the shadow of one of the year\u2019s biggest celebrity announcements, she is determined to celebrate her own loved ones and move forward on her own terms.<\/p>\n
