Kayla Nicole is fairly confident about the Chiefs’ three-peat.
While chatting about her big Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test win — Nicole and Brody Jenner were the only recruits to pass selection after the six-week TV event — the fitness influencer cleared up her recent remarks about the Kansas City team.
“I didn’t say that I didn’t want them to win. I have the Chiefs winning. They’re going to win. It’s going to be a three-peat. Patrick Mahomes is going to get the job done. I never, never bet against Patty Mahomes, period,” Nicole, who dated Travis Kelce from 2017 to 2022, told Us Weekly. “I remember specifically when the Patriots were winning year after year, I said the same thing. When the Celtics were doing it. Said the same thing. It just happens. I’m ready to see history be made.”
The Chiefs are set to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 9. Nicole, for her part, knows Patrick and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, personally after dating Kelce, 35, for years. During her time on Special Forces, the fitness influencer spoke about the social media trolls who only associate her as the tight end’s ex (especially after he moved on with Taylor Swift in 2023).

“A lot of my success, unfortunately, has been attributed to people I’ve been in close proximity with, and so this experience for me is so exciting and really just makes me feel so confident in myself because I did this all on my own,” Nicole told Us. “Nobody can take credit for this, so I hang my hat on that. I’m really excited about making it to the end, and although I would never do this experience ever again, I’m happy that I did it.”

Nicole also got vulnerable about being single, as she was the only recruit on the season who didn’t have kids. The topic was apparent when the cast had to write “death letters” to their loved ones on the show.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are more than just Kansas City Chiefs teammates, they are close friends — and their significant others also form a bond. Patrick and wife Brittany Mahomes, who wed in 2022, first met Kelce five years earlier in 2017 when the Chiefs drafted the quarterback. Kelce was already signed to the […]
“The death letter was definitely one of the most challenging tasks. I’ve never mentally taken myself to a place like that of thinking if I were to die, this is what I would want my last words to [my loved ones to be],” she said. “I did kind of stick out like a sore thumb when everyone was doing their letters and talking to their wives and their kids, but for me — and they cut my letter a little bit short — so in the full length of my letter, what I basically say is that I might not have children and I might not have a husband, but I do have my family.”
Nicole noted that “life has a very interesting way of showing you” what’s important.

“It’s still so full of so much love and I think that’s really an important message for women, especially my age. I’m 33 years old, there’s this societal pressure to think that, ‘Oh, well, you have to be married with kids by this time to be happy,’ but I’m so freaking happy,” she concluded. “I’m so happy and I only have two dogs. … You can live life, it can be so full. When [marriage or kids] happens, it happens.”
