Sports broadcaster and influencer Kayla Nicole certainly shares the sentiment.
Her public breakup with Kansas City Chiefs tight endTravis Kelcecreated quite a stir last year.
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce dated and broke up several times for over five years.
So, what led to their final separation?
Were the rumors of Kelces cheating true?
Lets rewind rewind their relationship.
So, how did the couple first meet?
On the good old Instagram!
Kayla Nicole slid into Kelces DMs on New Years Eve after some liquid courage.
He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months, Kayla revealed toHELLO!
All double taps and no DM.
Kayla Nicole came into Kelces life in 2018.
The couple made their relationship official in July during their red carpet-debut at the ESPY Awards.
The next day, they attended the 2018 Kids Choice Sports Awards wearing complementary striped outfits (viaMaximoTV).
Why Did Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce Break Up?
Nicole and Kelce broke up for the first time in 2020.
The split came amid rumors of Kelces infidelity, which he vehemently denied.
The couple wiped each other from their social media accounts right after this.
The breakup was brief, however, and the couple was back together by December 2020.
So obviously weve got the fam, Kelce said.
Kayla is definitely on the list.
Shes the best, Kelce added.
Shes the absolute best.
Although the real reason remains unknown, bizarre rumors have circulated about the split.
Both have denied the rumor.
The story is crazy, man!
Kelce said at thePivot Podcastin 2023.
Dont buy into that s***, dont buy into it, he added.
I would never say that I was supporting her.
She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career.

Nicole also clapped back at the rumors.
Do I look like anybody that would split anything?
she said on theUnapologeticallyAngelpodcast.
So yeah, that was ridiculous.
But he addressed that, too, though.
I dont even know how people why that even became a thing.
I dont do that.
In 2024,The Sunreported another potential reason for their break up.
It captured a now-deleted Kaylas TikTok, which said: Youre not stupidKayla.
No, I am actually.ThoughtId getwifedafter dating for 5 years.
It could be one reason for the split, although the exes havent spoken about it publicly.
Its okay to laugh at jokes.
Yall know that right?
In October 2023, she relaunched her fitness brand,Tribe Therepe.
The health and fitness website hasbeen modeledaround the tools she learned in her post-breakup therapy sessions.
People were commenting on my posts saying, You look so good.
Tell us your tricks.
You look amazing, Nicole recalled.
And Im thinking, Im miserable.
She was in great shape, yet mentally, she was struggling.
The way people praised her appearance while she felt awful only made that contrast more stark.
Of course, these signs could also point to other mental health issues.
Im out there just enjoying life, focused on my profession.

The couple has been together ever since.
Even to this day, Nicole opened up in an interview.
Nicole said she thought the hate came from people going overboard with their obsession over celebrities.
She admitted she no longer communicates with Kelce, fearing backlash from Swifties.
Weve seen each other in public spaces, she told Reese during the podcast.
