“I would eat your dirty drawers”: Kayla Nicole goes viral after wedding vow sparks dating confession post Travis Kelce heartbreak

A surprise moment at a friend’s wedding in mid-July 2025 gave Kayla Nicole a fresh look at love. The way the groom spoke from his heart hit her deeply. She saw a real connection and felt something shift inside her. Until then she had believed her heart was frozen. But that day made her believe she might welcome love again. Meanwhile, she is also sharing how her long relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce ended and what she’s now learning about self‑worth and prioritizing her own path.

Kayla Nicole recalls how a wedding vow changed her perspective

On her podcast The Pre‑Game With Kayla Nicole in July 2025, Kayla Nicole, age 33, spoke about attending a close friend’s wedding where the groom spoke in a deeply emotional way.

She said she had “never in [her] 33 years” heard a man express feelings like that, joking he promised “I would eat your dirty drawers” in love. That moment made her believe she could “unfreeze” her heart.

Before that wedding, she was healing from a breakup and felt stuck in repeated disappointments. Seeing pure, honest love reset her belief in what she could feel again.


Kayla dated NFL star Travis Kelce from 2017 until they split in 2022 after an on‑again, off‑again five‑year relationship. She has since publicly shared how that relationship sidelined her own dreams.

She said, “Put you first” is her advice to other women dating pro athletes love your man, but don’t lose yourself. In a May 2025 interview she said she’d “take the risk of heartbreak over and over” if it meant experiencing love again.

She also revealed the toll of online hate after the split and especially after Kelce began dating Taylor Swift in October 2023. She described the hate as overwhelming and said, “That level of hate and online chaos doesn’t impact me. It does—even to this day”.

Yet she is now reclaiming her independence. On her podcast she said she won’t date publicly again until she’s sure someone is “the one”. She wants someone established, like a record label executive or movie producer, so she doesn’t have to dim her light.
