Kayla Nicole didn’t need any privacy during her onstage moment with Chris Brown.
The host of the pre-game show unexpectedly joined the singer on stage during an explicit part of his Breezy Bowl XX tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on September 14th.
Videos circulating on social media show Kayla, who previously dated Travis Kelce for five years before their breakup in 2022, being led onto stage during a performance of Chris’ 2007 song, “Take You Down.” She sat on a red chaise lounge in the center of the stage and playfully kicked her feet as Chris, 36, performed a lap dance for her.
As the music ended, Chris seemed about to kiss Kayla, just as the large screen behind them went black. When the lights came back on, Kayla, wearing a black jacket, shorts, and boots, smiled as she was led off stage.
Before the unexpected incident, Kayla posted videos on her Instagram Story of herself and friends singing along to Chris Brown’s songs on a party bus, and another of her walking behind the scenes. She mentioned she’ll be sharing more about what happened onstage in a future episode of her podcast.
On September 15th, she posted to her Instagram Story, asking “Hey, hi, who are you?” while the song “Take You Down” played. She announced they’d be talking about what happened last night on this week’s episode of @welcometothepregame, playfully spelling “Thanks” as “Thaaaanngggya.”
Kayla went out just a few days after distancing herself from the conversations about Travis Kelce’s engagement to Taylor Swift.
When a reporter at New York Fashion Week asked Kayla about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s recent engagement announcement (made on August 29th), she immediately told the Daily Mail, “No, no, no.”
Kayla confirmed she is currently single and shared what qualities she’s looking for in a future partner.
The podcast host said she’s attracted to genuinely honest men with strong character. She appreciates someone who’s fun-loving, spontaneous, and close to their family, and who treats their friends well. She added that the qualities she looks for go on and on!
As Kayla navigates her own romantic life, here’s some more information about her former partner, Travis Kelce…
Although Travis Kelce is now strongly associated with Kansas City, Missouri, he actually spent his childhood growing up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
During game broadcasts where players are introduced, the announcer proudly states his hometown rather than his college, the University of Cincinnati.
Which, as you might guess, has irked some fellow alums.
Travis Kelce explained that while he deeply values his time at the University of Cincinnati, it wasn’t always easy. Speaking in 2019 at his Cleveland Heights High School Hall of Fame induction with his brother Jason, he admitted he faced challenges, including losing his scholarship due to some poor decisions. He jokingly acknowledged that he was likely the ‘Heights guy’ many in the room knew who had made mistakes.
He explained that Cleveland Heights wasn’t just meaningful to him personally, but to everyone in the community. He highlighted the city’s diversity and how it inspires him. He emphasized that everything he does, both on and off the field, is dedicated to Cleveland Heights, and that his celebrations are a way of representing and honoring the city and its people.
2. About that revoked scholarship…
Following Cincinnati’s perfect 2009 season and Big East championship, Travis tested positive for marijuana before the 2010 Sugar Bowl. This happened after he partied excessively on New Year’s Eve while in New Orleans.
He didn’t just miss the bowl game-the NCAA suspended him for the entire 2010 season and he lost his college scholarship. This left him without housing or meals, so he moved in with his brother Jason, sharing a room in the house Jason shared with teammates. To earn money, he took a job as a telemarketer, calling people to get their opinions on the Affordable Care Act.
They did, and Travis could not wait to get back on the field.
Travis was a three-sport athlete in high school, playing hockey, baseball, and basketball before focusing on football. He originally played quarterback and was a two-star recruit for Cincinnati, but switched to tight end after being suspended from the team – it was a requirement for him to rejoin.
When I was drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, we already had a great quarterback in Zach Collaros, but we were looking to improve both our running and passing attacks,” Travis explained to Arrowhead Pride. “I spoke with my coach, Butch Jones, and he felt a tight end was what we needed. Luckily, my abilities and athleticism were a good fit, and it all worked out perfectly for me.
I’ll never forget reading his interview with *GQ* back in 2017. He was talking about a really tough time, and he put it so perfectly – he said that people had been telling him his whole life he was built to be a tight end, basically implying that was all anyone ever saw him as.
Travis and his teammates, including Jason, often had lively, beer-filled parties at their house on 127 W. Nixon Street.
According to college friend and teammate Tom DeTemple, the brothers spent hours playing Nintendo 64, often combining it with drinking games. He told the New York Times before the 2024 Super Bowl that they’d invent these games on the spot and were surprisingly skilled at them.
5. And suffice it to say, Travis is extremely proud of being a Bearcat.
Before the 2023 Super Bowl, the quarterback told reporters how much Cincinnati means to him. He’s very proud of his time at the University of Cincinnati, where he recently earned his degree, and enjoys giving back to the school whenever he can. He especially misses the friends and teammates he made there, and all the people who supported him through good times and bad.
Even while facing scrutiny from the NCAA, he explained that the players, coaches, and staff at the university had faith in his ability to improve and succeed. He said their belief in him meant a lot to him at that time.
After nearly ten years away from school to pursue his football career, Travis finally completed his degree in interdisciplinary studies in 2022. He received his diploma in April 2024 at a special, unexpected graduation ceremony held in Cincinnati after he and Jason recorded a live episode of their podcast, *New Heights*, at Fifth Third Arena.
As the graduate walked up to the dean for a congratulatory handshake, he was already holding a beer and immediately drank it down.
And Travis was going to graduate in 2022 but he missed his flight.
Travis Kelce wasn’t one of the first tight ends drafted in 2013, largely because of some personal issues. He was selected by the Chiefs in the third round, as the fifth tight end chosen overall. Once Travis joined the team, head coach Andy Reid – who had previously coached Travis’s brother, Jason, in Philadelphia – asked Jason to give him a positive assessment of Travis’s character.
Andy and Travis have three Super Bowl rings to show for Jason’s endorsement.
Okay, let me tell you a little secret about getting in the zone. For years, even before his music style evolved, Travis used to listen to Randy Newman’s ‘Burn On’ before *every single* game. It was his pre-game ritual – a surprising choice, maybe, but it clearly worked for him! It’s amazing how personal these little routines can be for peak performance.
Growing up on the east side of Cleveland, this song always makes me reflect on family and my life, and how grateful I am for everything,” he explained on the 2017 NBC Sports podcast *PFT Live*.
Let us explain: It’s in the opening credits of Major League, the ultimate Cleveland sports movie.
9. Everyone, including Travis, is mispronouncing his last name.
Everyone has been pronouncing Kelce as “Kel-see,” but the correct pronunciation actually rhymes with “else.” Jason and he were doing it too.
The news came out when Chris Jones, Travis’ teammate, mentioned it on *Inside the NFL* in January, saying, “It’s just crazy, right?” Travis and his brother Jason later confirmed the story when they talked to their dad, Ed Kelce, on their *New Heights* podcast.
I just… I don’t get it! One day it’s Jason, and then suddenly, *Kel-see*? Seriously? It’s like, we all just went along with it for *years*! Twenty-four, twenty-seven years of *my* life, and twenty-five for Trav! How did we not question it before? It’s so bizarre, I can’t wrap my head around it. Why Kel-see? It just feels…wrong.
Ed admitted he “got tired of correcting people” but urged his son to “do whatever you want.”
Travis has worn the number 87 throughout his NFL career to honor his brother, Jason, who was born in 1987.
Travis Kelce shared with NFL Films before the 2023 Super Bowl that the story of his family’s NFL success – with both him and his brother Jason playing professionally – began in 1987, the year he was born. He was referencing the start of what would become a notable family legacy as he prepared to face his brother’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, with his own team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Travis Kelce’s Eighty Seven & Running foundation has consistently supported Operation Breakthrough, a Kansas City nonprofit learning center. He first volunteered there in 2015, reading *The Cat in the Hat* to the children, and has been involved ever since.
Yes, reader, he wore the hat.
Since then, Travis has supported the program by funding its Smart Lab and purchasing the building next door. This allowed them to create the Ignition Lab, where students transformed old, discarded cars into functional electric vehicles.
Travis and Jason affectionately call their podcast listeners “92 percenters.” This nickname comes from a joke Jason made about a football play – a quarterback sneak – which he claimed was successful nearly all the time (92 percent) when only a yard was needed to score.
Listeners loved the podcast so much they started calling themselves the “92 percenters,” as if it were a special inside joke or a shared identity, according to the podcast’s website.
Who were the Kelce brothers to argue with that?
Travis Kelce works with three trainers-Alex Skacel, Andrew Spruill, and Laurence Justin Ng-and typically has one of them travel with him to help him stay in peak condition for football throughout the year, according to The Athletic.
Alex, a physical therapist, remembered Travis wanting to go for a run late at night after Paris Fashion Week. Travis had skipped his usual workout that day and felt the need to be active.
According to an interview with the *New York Times* in April, the trainer said they were doing sprint workouts on the bridges over the river at midnight. He emphasized that no matter the location, the athlete always makes time to complete his necessary tasks.
Travis’s chef, Kumar Ferguson, has been a close friend of his since they were kids growing up together in Cleveland Heights.
In 2016, he was a truck driver who enjoyed cooking as a hobby when Travis contacted him with a job offer.
Kumar recounted to Vanity Fair in 2023 that the person said, ‘I really want to commit to a healthier diet and take it to the next level.’ Kumar responded that he was immediately on board, and just three or four days later, he found himself in Kansas City.
He handles a wide range of tasks, including keeping Travis’ fridge full and making sure the Chiefs players get healthy lunches at practice.
Travis Kelce has been getting a lot of attention for his facial hair lately. He shared on his podcast, *New Heights*, that he shaved his beard after the season in 2023 but kept his mustache to copy the look favored by his coach, Andy Reid – and he’s doing it again in 2024.
In April 2024, Travis signed a two-year contract worth $34.25 million, making him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end for the first time in his career.
Which finally put an end to years of chatter about how much money he wasn’t making.
In a 2023 interview with *Vanity Fair*, Travis Kelce joked that his managers and agents frequently point out he deserves a raise. He said whenever he brings up wanting more money, they tell him to ask the Kansas City Chiefs for it.
By that point, he had so many other ways to make money that he was more interested in enjoying his work than in how much it paid.
He said the idea of a free market seems appealing until you experience losing. He emphasized his enjoyment of success and satisfaction with his current position.
He admitted it’s discouraging to see how much other players are earning. It makes him wonder if he’s being fairly compensated and if he’d receive what he deserves if he pushed harder for a better deal. Despite those concerns, he genuinely enjoys his work and loves going to the facility each day.
Travis developed a passion for clothing as a teenager growing up in Cleveland Heights. He described his high school as a daily fashion show in a 2023 interview with *Vanity Fair*.
He turned a bedroom into a walk-in closet to store his expensive clothes and impressive sneaker collection of over 300 pairs. He even splurged on a pair of size-13 Nike Air Mags with a significant portion of his first professional salary, even though they didn’t quite fit.
You know, back when I was first starting out, before all these crazy sneaker apps existed, getting the shoes I wanted was a total struggle! I didn’t care about the *right* size, I just grabbed whatever they had in my size, honestly. Any size would do, as long as I could *get* the shoes. It was a different world back then!
He’s a big fan of Nike, especially since they sponsor him, but he also loves Chuck Taylor sneakers. They remind him of Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez, the amazing baseball player from the movie *The Sandlot*.
18. Among his dozens of investments, Travis co-owns Ohio-brewed Garage Beer with Jason.
Travis shared in a statement last June that he enjoys a beer from time to time, so he’s thrilled to be an owner of Garage Beer and help create a great light beer. He believes there’s nothing quite like a cold beer to bring people together, and that’s what he and Jason value most about it-connecting with friends and family and having a good time.
19. We’re sensing a theme when it comes to Travis’ guilty pleasure TV choices.
He reminisced about the show *Gossip Girl*, describing it on the *New Heights* podcast as a classic New York high school drama. He explained that it was full of gossip and people talking negatively about each other, which he found entertaining.
His new favorite show? Peacock’s Emmy-winning backstab-a-ganza The Traitors.
After playing in the NFL for 12 seasons, 35-year-old Travis has recently been sharing more openly about the physical challenges of the sport.
He’s quietly endured a lot of physical hardship from the start of his career. It began when a knee injury-a small fracture-forced him to miss his first season and led to the first of ten surgeries he’s undergone.
Travis Kelce recently shared on his podcast, *New Heights*, that he tried to give Taylor Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it while she was performing in Kansas City, but wasn’t able to.
She heard through mutual connections that Travis wanted to meet her, and then she reached out to him.
He told *WSJ. Magazine* that she explained the whole situation to him, and how fortunate he was that she contacted him.
Travis has always loved French toast, especially when it’s covered in whipped cream and syrup.
But more recently he’s become a fan of his girlfriend’s homemade Pop-Tarts and cinnamon rolls.
23. At least one of Travis’ ringtones is Chris Farley shrieking “For the love of God!” in Tommy Boy.
He told *WSJ. Magazine* that he’s eager to share his love of comedians like Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and Will Ferrell with Taylor. He explained, ‘I told her, this is what I really enjoy!’
After the Chiefs won the AFC Championship in 2019, Travis Kelce shouted, “You’ve got to fight for your right to party!” This led to the team playing the Beastie Boys’ song of the same name after every touchdown scored at home games at Arrowhead Stadium.
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach described Travis Kelce as a huge boost to team morale back in 2020, saying it’s difficult to measure just how valuable that is. Kelce brings a contagious energy, passion, and positive attitude that lifts everyone around him. He’s well-liked by the entire team and consistently improves the mood, focus, and overall atmosphere, while still keeping things enjoyable.
The person who famously introduced the 1986 song to everyone surprisingly didn’t learn all the lyrics until he had to sing it with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in February 2023.
In May 2024, Travis revealed his top three Taylor Swift songs: “Blank Space,” “The Alchemy,” and “So High School.”
You know, I was asked about my favorite things back in September, and honestly, my answer has really evolved. I used to pick just a few, but now? I truly love *all* of them – every single one! It’s about appreciating everything, and I’ve really embraced that mindset.
People began comparing Travis Kelce to Tony Gonzalez, the Chiefs’ all-time great tight end who retired in 2013 after 17 seasons, very early in Kelce’s career.
Back in 2015, as people began to wonder if Travis would exceed Tony’s accomplishments – and how letdown fans would be if he didn’t – Travis claimed he ignored all the talk.
I’m my own harshest critic,” he explained to *Complex*. “I’m aiming for a record-breaking season – I want to be the most productive tight end statistically that’s ever played the game.
In 2024, Travis became the Chiefs’ all-time leader in receptions, breaking Tony’s record with his 917th catch.
Travis recently reflected on how things often come back around, sharing on the *New Heights* podcast that it’s amazing to be leading the Kansas City Chiefs – a team with such a long history, dating back to the 1960s, and still performing at its best. He attributes much of their success to the team’s strong legacy and specifically mentioned Tony Gonzalez as a key mentor, expressing his deep admiration for him.
27. Of Travis’ many accomplishments, keeping his house in order on his own isn’t one of them.
“He can’t clean,” mom Donna Kelce told Extra in September 2024. “He can’t cook.”
Maybe having a visitor gave him an extra push to finally get things organized.
“He’s getting a little better,” Donna acknowledged. “I think he’s getting some help.”
