Kayla Nicole raises eyebrows with flirty message to 49ers star—Is she shading Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift?

Kayla Nicole, ex-girlfriend of Travis Kelce, is back in the NFL spotlight after a surprise birthday comment on Kyle Juszczyk’s Instagram post stirred curiosity. As Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift grabs headlines, Nicole’s unexpected interaction has fans speculating about her ties within the league and her continued relevance.

Kayla Nicole, the former longtime girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, has once again found herself at the center of NFL social media chatter. Though she’s long moved on from her headline-making breakup with Kelce, Nicole’s recent comment on an unexpected birthday tribute has fans speculating.

This time, the buzz surrounds San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. His wife, fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk, celebrated his 34th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post, filled with affection and admiration. “Happy birthday to the love of my life @juicecheck44… Forever grateful for April 23rd. I love you,” Kristin wrote alongside a sweet series of couple photos.
But what really caught fans off guard was Kayla Nicole’s unexpected appearance in the comments. “Juuuuuuiiice!!!! Happy birthdaaaayy,” she posted, filled with enthusiasm and familiarity. It wasn’t just the message—it was the tone that sparked curiosity, especially since there’s been no public connection between Nicole and the Juszczyks before.

Nicole, who dated Travis Kelce in an on-and-off relationship for five years until their split in 2022, has managed to remain relevant in both the sports and entertainment spheres. Even as Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift continues to dominate headlines, Nicole has built her own following as a fitness influencer, model, and media personality.

She’s also been refreshingly candid about her challenges post-breakup. In interviews and podcast appearances, Nicole has discussed the public pressure she felt during and after her high-profile relationship with Kelce. That context only adds to the intrigue surrounding her latest social media moment.
While Nicole’s comment on the Juszczyks’ post could be interpreted as friendly and harmless, NFL fans are never ones to miss a chance for speculation. With no known history between the parties, the affectionate tone sparked questions about whether there’s a deeper, private friendship—or simply mutual respect formed through years of shared NFL circles.
