Travis Kelce's ex on why she unfollowed Brittany and Patrick Mahomes

Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole reveals she unfollowed Brittany and Patrick Mahomes to ‘protect’ herself… amid NFL star’s romance with Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole shared that she unfollowed his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany in order to ‘protect’ herself.

The influencer, 31, said she still has ‘love’ for the quarterback, 28, and his wife, 28, but had to cut ties with them on Instagram in order to ‘move forward,’ amid the NFL star’s new romance with Taylor Swift – who’s also formed a fast bond with Brittany.

Kayla, who unfollowed the pair earlier this month, also claims that she still has contact with everyone involved, which seemingly includes Swift’s, 33, beau Travis, 34.

‘To everyone it’s like, “Oh, you broke up a year ago,” and that meant it’s like a light switch, you turn it on and off and everything goes dead and black and you don’t ever speak to anyone ever again,’ she told People.  

‘That’s not reality. I have ongoing relationships with all parties involved,’ she said, adding, ‘That’s a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn’t change overnight.’

‘But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.’

Kayla – who recently shared a video about ‘backlash and embarrassment’ – added that she and Brittany ‘have had our conversations’ and ‘she knows that I love her.’

Travis’ ex also made it clear that she had private conversations to let Brittany and Patrick know why she decided to hit the unfollow button. 

‘The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made.’ 

Kayla went on to express: ‘For me in my life, I have to move forward and everyone has to respect that. And hopefully when they respect that, that means that they’re no longer inserting me into things that do not involve me.’

Elsewhere in the interview she revealed that her breakup with Kelce has physical ramifications, causing her to lose ‘a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time.’

‘I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating. I was really abusing melatonin to sleep at night,’ she said. 

Since then she reveals she has gone to therapy and is now encouraging people to ‘mentally take care of themselves.’

In recent weeks, as Kelce’s whirlwind romance with the Bad Blood singer continues to grow, Brittany’s been pictured enjoying her time in the stands with Swift, as they cheer on their men.

Taylor and Brittany have been been roasted online for their secret handshake at last weekend’s Kansas Chiefs game.

However insiders have claimed the new friends are feeling far from ’embarrassed’ and are in fact in the process of taking their bond to the next level by planning double dates with their NFL partners.

The pop sensation and Brittany debuted their new move as they celebrated the Chiefs’ first touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night.

Their victory dance, which saw them clapping the backs and fronts of their hands before bumping hips, was slated by bitter keyboard warriors who branded it ‘cringe’.

But sources close to the pair claim they are shaking off the hate as they busily plan double dates with their respective partners.

‘It’s hard for Taylor to make new friends she can trust,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

The insider continued: ‘Now they are friends, they both want to please each other and are working on building their relationship, so when people see their handshake and doing the girly girl thing, it’s exactly what people close to them expect to happen. They aren’t embarrassed by it.’

Turning their attention to the longevity of their budding friendship, the insider added: ‘Taylor and Brittany will hang out in the future.

‘There has been talk that after the season is done that Brittany and Patrick will see one of her shows overseas.

‘Although their friendship is mostly at the stadium, slowly but surely they are going to be doing double dates and hanging out with each other more and more.’
