Kayla Nicole says Travis Kelce moving on with someone famous actually makes her "look good'
In a May 2025 episode of her podcast Pre-Game, the 33-year-old sports broadcasterm Kayla Nicole opened up about how it feels when an ex moves on with someone attractive, hinting at her ex Kelce's now high-profile relationship with Swift. Though she never directly names the couple, listeners didn't have to dig too deep to connect the dots.
Addressing a fan question about how to emotionally process an ex dating someone 'hot,' Nicole offered a refreshingly confident point of view.
'I think as women, something we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping, might be s–t, might be really hot and there's no problem in admitting that,' she said.
Nicole then made a sports analogy—fitting, given her years in the NFL spotlight. 'If you're gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now,' she said. 'I want you to move on and go do your big one. Make me look good. Right?'
Her comments marked a significant tonal shift from earlier discussions, where she appeared visibly frustrated by public speculation surrounding her and Kelce's split.
This time, Nicole seemed composed and even empowering, encouraging her listeners to embrace reality instead of battling it.

In typical Kayla Nicole fashion, her commentary was both thoughtful and laced with wit. 'It's so much worse if the guy that you loved and you dated for so long and you're so heartbroken over goes and dates a dud,' she remarked. 'Now you look stupid, he looks stupid, we all look stupid [and] everyone's questioning your taste.'

Nicole also praised the listener who asked the question for being honest about the other woman's beauty, saying, 'Give her her flowers. Them over there, whatever they're doing is their business. They deserve love as much as you do.'

Having dated Kelce on and off between 2017 and 2022, Nicole hasn't publicly confirmed a new relationship since. But judging by her comments, she's not only healed—she's also found a way to reframe the narrative on her own terms.

'Take Jalen's d**k out of your mouth': Johnny Manziel goes full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year
Johnny Manziel just went full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year. Of all the random feuds to erupt on the internet, this one might take the crown. Johnny Manziel, the former Cleveland Browns QB and poster boy for what-could've-been just launched an unfiltered verbal missile at rapper-turned-podcaster Gillie Da Kid. Why? Because Gillie came at Cam Newton over Jalen Hurts. Yes, it's that messy. The whole drama started with Gillie Da Kid criticizing Cam Newton and Manziel wasn't having it To really get this mess, you have to rewind a bit. This whole feud kicked off when Cam Newton dropped his list of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL and straight-up left Jalen Hurts off it. Gillie Da Kid, a proud Philly native and co-host of 'Million Dollaz Worth of Game,' was not about to let that slide. Cam Newton's Top 10 QBs for the 2025 Season Things escalated when Gillie publicly called Cam 'fraudulent' for how he handled the Jalen Hurts situation. He accused Newton of staying silent when the Eagles QB was getting dragged by media and fans during the team's slump only for Cam to suddenly speak up for Hurts after Philly re-committed to him. Gillie's whole vibe was: Where was that energy when Jalen was under fire? Then, at his birthday party, Gillie held up a prop Lombardi Trophy and trolled Newton with the line: 'Cam ain't never had one of these.' He also added that he was 'done going back and forth' with Newton but the jab had already landed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo So now we've got Manziel, a guy who hasn't touched a football professionally in years, beefing with Gillie over something Cam Newton didn't even comment on. And to no one's surprise, the whole thing is playing out messily and publicly on X (formerly Twitter). Johnny Manziel calls Gillie 'the biggest loser on the planet,' threatens violence Johnny hopped on X and didn't hold back, posting two wild tweets aimed straight at Gillie. In one, he wrote: 'Yo @gilliedakid you may be the biggest fucking loser on the planet. Talking like you've fucking done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the fuck out of you, trust.' And just when you thought it couldn't get any more unhinged, Manziel added: 'Take Jalen's d**k out of your mouth for a couple minutes. Pretty sure he's already got a chick.' Oof. No metaphors, no filters, just pure chaos from Manziel's keyboard. Fans are confused, Cam Newton is quiet, and the internet is eating it up Reactions online have been priceless. Some fans are dragging Manziel for having the audacity to come at anyone considering his NFL flameout. One user clapped back, 'IK JOHNNY MANZIEL AIN'T TALKING 😂😂😂,' while another asked if this was the same guy who fumbled his career over 'a little cocaine and OxyContin.' Johnny Manziel just went full savage on Gillie Da Kid in the weirdest football beef of the year. Others are just here for the mess, with comments like, 'Not the beef I was expecting to see today,' and 'This feels like an episode of a fake football reality show.' Meanwhile, Cam Newton has said exactly nothing, which tracks, he didn't even respond to the original Gillie clip. So what's the verdict? Just another chaotic NFL-adjacent internet moment There's no real winner here, except maybe the X algorithm. Gillie Da Kid was firing shots at Cam Newton for being quiet. Then Johnny Manziel came in hot with threats and NSFW language, defending who exactly? Hurts? Cam? Himself? No one's really sure. But what we do know is this: it's 2025, and somehow Johnny Manziel and Gillie Da Kid are trending over Jalen Hurts drama from months ago. Also read - "Micah wanna be an Eagle": A.J.

Golden retriever boyfriends are all over your feed, but does one exist IRL?
Image credits: Getty Images The term 'Golden Retriever Boyfriend' has a similar birthplace as many Gen Z terms- TikTok. As early as 2021, the concept was scrolled over by social media users multiple times. However, it resurged to the top when Taylor Swift entered into her much-adored and obsessed-over relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce, the ever-smiling and ever-loving beau of the world's boo. 'A golden retriever boyfriend is the human equivalent of a tail wagging, wide-eyed pup who lives to love you,' explained Tiff Baira, host of "Streethearts" and a relationship expert and matchmaker to Cosmopolitan. 'He's sweet, loyal, emotionally available, and basically imprinted on you after the third date.' Think of a Tom Holland, a Nick Jonas, a Jake Peralta or a Jim Halpert. In short, he absolutely contradicts the emotionally unavailable, uninterested and always on the lookout for someone better boyfriend. But does a Golden Retriever Boyfriend exist in real life? Understanding a GRBF Image credits: Getty Images A Golden Retriever Boyfriend values your presence and addition in his life. He pays attention to your likes and dislikes, dos and don'ts and wants and needs. He fits all the adjectives of loving, positive, energetic, loyal and uncomplicated. 'He remembers your coffee order, sends good morning texts unprompted, and genuinely enjoys helping you build IKEA furniture,' added Baira. 'He's not playing games; he's the overly nice and caring type who puts you before himself.' In the era where doom scrolling and app-based dates only get you disappointed, the GRBF comes as a breath of fresh air. As someone who is serious and interested in a relationship. As someone you'd be with after getting your heart broken by a bad boy who seemed like rose-coloured glasses until he wasn't. How to identify if you have a Golden Retriever Boyfriend? Image credits: Getty Images It seems the signs to identify if your boyfriend is a golden retriever are wagging right in front of you. You are the apple of his eyes; he will help you with small things like carrying your grocery bag without asking him to, and he will care for you even in the most basic aspects of life. He is there to be with you, by your side, holding your hand as you both create the life of your dreams. However, if you have a boyfriend who's acting completely opposite to this, then it's time to bark some orders. If you are constantly worried about his whereabouts and friends, if you have to ask him for favours and if he only texts at night, then it's time to reconsider. But hey, there ain't just black and white. There's grey too. This is someone who is a Jeremiah (if you have watched 'The Summer I Turned Pretty). He is nice to get nice. The guy who seems endlessly kind and selfless but secretly has an agenda,' explained Baira. 'If his niceness comes with strings attached, like using your connections, expecting money, or subtly manipulating you, he's not golden; he's gold-plated.' He will only be affectionate in public and go cold when you are alone. He expects gratitude and appreciation for the smallest of tasks, and while he may look like the wind beneath your wings, he wouldn't take a second to clip them if you are flying too high. Is a Golden Retriever Boyfriend the only one? Image credits: Getty Images A Golden Retriever Boyfriend can be a great partner, someone you could imagine getting old with, who you could introduce to your parents and possibly be the father of your kids (if you want to have them). However, just because he seems like the ideal guy, he doesn't have to be your cup of tea. You might not want someone to settle you down and adore you forever; you might want some fire, someone who challenges you. Social media isn't a mirror to real life; it's an escape. It could be that men are following the archetype to finally have a chance in the dating pool, and women are choosing it to make themselves feel like a person who is worthy of a GRBF. If such a boyfriend is for you, then good, but if not, find the one who is more your type. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

Eagles' Jalen Hurts ranks low on Madden 26 NFL list, fans say, ‘that Hurts'
NFL ratings for Madden 26 have been released, and it's safe to say that Philadelphia Eagles fans have been left in shock looking at players' rankings. Lane Johnson (right tackle) and Saquon Barkley (halfback) are the only two players to make it to the 99 club this year, with the latter being announced as the cover star. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts speaks during a news conference at the team's NFL football training camp, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)(AP) As celebratory as this ranking may sound, the score awarded to another Eagle, Jalen Hurts, have been the topic of the town since its release. Jalen Hurts's low ranking As offensive grades for Madden 26 were released, Jalen Hurts's overall grade of 86 has caught widespread attention. 'Madden Ratings are out and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts is only an 86!! Should he be higher or lower than this?,' a page wrote on social media. 'An 86 overall grade still seems insulting. So does tying him with Justin Herbert, and we're going to need an explanation of the Eagles quarterback landing behind Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff,' wrote Geoffrey A Knox of USA Today on Thursday (July 31). 'The 93 rating seems like a generous grade for A.J. Brown. Then, you remember he's better than at least three of the guys who are graded ahead of him. While we realize this is subjective, what gives?' Also read: Madden NFL 26: List of all top 10 ranked players in offensive and defensive positions Fan reactions Ever since the announcement, fans have taken to social media to share their views regarding this development. 'This is dumb Maybe 88, 89 at most Winning a SB doesn't make you elite by default,' a fan wrote. 'Probably should be a little higher,' another fan wrote. 'that Hurts ' a user wrote. 'Seems pretty legit honestly,' another user wrote. 'At least a 90…' a fan wrote. EA Sports is set to launch Madden 26 on August 14. The Deluxe Edition can be pre-ordered to play seven days in advance. By Stuti Gupta
