Kayla Nicole awkwardly addressed her fallout with several Kansas City Chiefs WAGs — including one-time BFF Brittany Mahomes — during a recent appearance on Angel Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast.
During Thursday’s episode, the WNBA star, 22, asked the influencer, 32, if she remained “friends” with some of the women even after she and Travis Kelce broke up in 2022.
The question clearly caught Nicole off guard as she uncomfortably laughed and mumbled, “Mhm.”
However, the model made it clear that was no longer the case.
“Yes, I was,” she said.
When asked specifically if they were “still friends,” Nicole simply chuckled before adding, “We were cool [but] we are not as cool as we once were.”
The sports reporter, who began dating Kelce in 2017, explained that the transition was particularly “hard” because of how close she was to some of the women.
“That was like family,” she said.
Although Nicole didn’t specifically name Mahomes, she and the 29-year-old used to be thick as thieves.
In fact, Nicole served as one of Mahomes’ bridesmaids during her 2022 wedding to Patrick Mahomes, who is best friends with Kelce.
The former best friends used to vacation together and became fixtures on each other’s social media pages, with Nicole even growing close to Brittany’s brother-in-law, Jackson.
Even after Nicole split from Kelce, she remained friends with Brittany, even attending the mother of two’s surprise birthday party in August 2023.
However, things seemingly soured by October 2023 amid Brittany’s growing friendship with Taylor Swift, whom Kelce began dating that summer.
Days after the Kansas City Current co-owner was spotted having a girls’ night out with Swift, Nicole unfollowed her, Jackson and Patrick on Instagram.
Despite rumblings of a feud, Nicole later told People that she unfollowed Brittany to protect her mental health — which they discussed.
