Breakups are hard enough but even more so when millions of people are hearing about it and forming opinions. It also has to be extremely difficult when your ex starts dating one of the most famous people on the planet, and their relationship is in the headlines every day.

Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, knows exactly how that feels. After five years together, she went through a public breakup with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end before watching, along with the rest of the world, as Kelce began a love story with Taylor Swift. Fans then wanted to know if Nicole had started dating anyone and for a while, she was linked to another NFL star.

Rumors swirled that Nicole was seeing Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons after she was spotted taking in a few of his team’s games. An eyewitness also claimed to have seen them together on a dinner date engaging in some PDA. However, Parsons and Nicole never confirmed those reports. And if there was a romance, it appears to have fizzled out as the athlete is said to now be in a relationship with the mother of his second child.

Since there is still such an interest in Nicole’s love life though she recently revealed her type. Here’s more on that, plus her age, occupation, and net worth.

Nicole was born on Nov. 2, 1991, in Los Angeles to parents Roosevelt Brown and Robin Curry.

She attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism. After graduation, she began working in media and has covered events for the NBA, BET, Global Grind, HotNewHipHop, All Def Digital, New York Fashion Week, and ESPN to name a few.

Nicole has done some modeling as well and worked as a brand ambassador for Savage X Fenty by Rihanna. She also founded the Strong Is Sexy site for health and wellness and has become a social media influencer with more than 780,000 followers on Instagram alone.

Several outlets have reported that Nicole currently has a net worth of about $2 million.

Nicole hasn’t been quiet since her ex started globe-trotting all over the world with his pop star girlfriend. Nicole put out a few cryptic posts, while others have been direct responses to Swifties who she says trolled her on social media. And some believe that a few risque pics she’s posted were to get Kelce’s attention and show him what he’s missing.

In August, Nicole had to answer a question about her former relationship when she sat down with Life & Style to discuss the type of man she’s looking for these days.

She told the publication: “My type now is someone of good character [and] loves their family.” She then joked that he would also need to be “6 foot 5.” Nicole added that she wants someone who is “driven” and “very forthright.” She explained that she’s not so much into physical appearances as she’s into someone who is going to be a “good, loving, and down-to-earth, fun person.”

Nicole was then asked if her last public relationship “changed the idea” of what she wants in a partner to which she responded: “I would never put that on my last relationship. I think men, in general, in today’s society are just tough. Women are tough. We’re humans, just tough to deal with. Both sides of the coin.”
