Taylor Swift is having quite the summer and fall of 2023. While she is still on top of the music world thanks to her 2023 Eras tour, her possible relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce is so exciting and juicy that fans can't stop thinking about it.
While Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's potential romance is good for the NFL financially, it might also have some ripple effects. Recently, it came out that Patrick Mahomes' wife Brittany Mahomes and her good friend Kayla Nicole, who happens to be Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, might be experiencing some friendship troubles. Here's everything to know about their bond and whether the popular singer came between them.
Sometimes, meeting a new partner's friend group can be stressful and everyone has trouble getting along. That can make things awkward and can make someone wonder if they should call it quits and choose their pals over their new romance.
Thankfully for good friends Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, that doesn't seem to have happened. When Travis was dating Kayla Nicole, she and Brittany Mahomes became as tight as Travis and Patrick.
RelatedAfter expressing his commitment to his football career, Travis Kelce sparked dating speculation by sharing his number with Taylor Swift.
According to People, Kayla was a bridesmaid and Travis was a groomsman at Brittany and Patrick's March 2022 wedding.
People reported that when the Kansas City Chiefs were celebrating a victory in October 2022, Patrick hugged Travis and said "I love this dude right here, baby! This my dawg!"
It seems that Kayla and Brittany must have met and become friends when Kayla and Travis began dating. According to People, they were together from 2017 to 2023. However, they broke up a few times in that time period.
Those ups and downs don't seem to have affected Kayla Nicole and Brittany Mahomes' friendship. In August 2023, they were still hanging out. According to Marca.com, Brittany's pals made sure to celebrate her birthday, and Kayla wrote on social media, "A special bday surprise for a special girl."
Not much is known about the friendship between Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend and Patrick Mahomes' wife. However, fans can guess that Brittany Mahomes and Kayla Nicole often hung out while supporting their partners' football careers. They must have spent time watching games together and maybe even celebrated some big wins as a foursome.
RelatedFans wonder if Brittany Mahomes was supportive when Patrick Mahomes hurt his leg in January 2023 and had to recover from this scary moment.
Brittany Mahomes hasn't talked about her friendship with Kayla Nicole and doesn't seem to focus much on her personal life in interviews. While Kayla Nicole is an influencer, she doesn't appear to be interviewed much, either.
Brittany Mahomes and Kayla Nicole haven't commented on their friendship or said that they are no longer speaking. However, it does seem that their friendship has been affected by the fact that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could be dating. It's always heartbreaking when a new partner changes an existing friendship, and that could be the case here.
According to The Daily Mail, Kayla Nicole stopped following Brittany Mahomes. She went through her Instagram and decided to stop following Brittany's brother Jackson Mahomes and husband Patrick Mahomes as well.
RelatedOlivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift may have some issues to resolve behind the scenes.
Kayla hasn't said that she is angry with Brittany for hanging out with Taylor or that she is upset that Travis seems to have moved on.
But when someone stops following a supposed friend on Instagram, that often suggests that something is going on. Instead of just not looking at Brittany's posts or even muting her for a little while, Kayla wanted to stop following her friend altogether. Fans could guess that maybe she didn't want to see Brittany posting any photos with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. But no one can be sure how Kayla really feels.
It's possible that Brittany and Kayla have stopped being friends in recent months, but they have decided not to say anything publicly.
Since Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce were together for so many years, it can't be easy to see him moving on with such a public figure.
In February 2022, Travis spoke highly of his relationship with Kayla, and he sounded happy to be with her. As he explained to E! News, "I didn't just go through every single pic and just start liking it immediately. It was over the course of a month's span, just following her and liking the pictures that she was posting and watching all of her stories when stories had first started coming out. I was just stalking her and then finally on New Year's, she gave in. And, you know, New Year new me. She just shot her shot, jumped in my DMs and the rest is history."
People wonder about the status of Kayla Nicole and Brittany Mahomes' friendship because Brittany and Taylor seem to have become friends. At the very least, they have been spending time together over the past few weeks.
If Taylor and Travis really are dating and they become more serious, it seems likely that Brittany and Taylor will hang out even more.
People reported that Brittany and Taylor had dinner at the New York City restaurant Emilio’s Ballato along with Taylor's friends Sophie Turner and Blake Lively the night before the October 1st 2023 Kansas City Chiefs game.
This suggests that Taylor wanted to get to know Brittany better and also introduce her to some famous pals that she hangs out with regularly. Brittany and Taylor also watched the game from the Kansas City Chiefs MetLife Stadium suite, which must have given them some time to bond.
It's true that sometimes, a friendship just naturally runs its course. However, because Brittany Mahomes and Kayla Nicole seemed to get along so well, fans can't help but speculate that their friendship could be over. While Brittany hasn't said that she is sad about Kayla no longer following her on Instagram, fans can guess that wasn't a very fun moment for her.
