In a vulnerable moment on the show, she quietly confides in a fellow contestant, revealing her ex is none other than Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce. This marks a rare instance where Kayla has directly referenced him outside a professional context.
The two were in a long-term relationship before parting ways in 2022. Over a year later, Kelce made headlines again when he began dating global pop sensation Taylor Swift. The new relationship brought additional challenges for Kayla, who shared that Swift’s devoted fanbase had been particularly harsh toward her on social media, negatively impacting her personal life.
While Kayla has spoken openly about her post-breakup journey, this new footage sheds light on the emotional weight she has carried throughout the experience. Fans of the upcoming Special Forces season can expect a raw and honest glimpse into her struggles.
