Jackson Mahomes, the younger brother of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, has once again caught attention by leaving a flirty comment on Instagram photos posted by Kayla Nicole, the ex-girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Nicole, who dated Kelce for several years before his relationship with Taylor Swift, recently shared a series of striking images from a photoshoot in New York, which quickly drew admiration from her followers—Jackson Mahomes included.
Nicole, known for her work as an influencer and model, showcased her stunning style in the photos, and Jackson didn’t miss the opportunity to express his appreciation. He commented, “You ate with his fit. Very demure!” showing his continued admiration for Nicole.
This isn’t the first time Jackson has publicly praised Nicole’s social media posts.
Back in December 2023, Nicole posted a series of pictures on Instagram with the caption: “Studies show that people who mind their business are 135% happier than those who don’t. Some of y’all should try it.”

Jackson was quick to respond, liking the post and commenting, “so pretty!” Nicole acknowledged his compliment with a gracious reply, “Thanks Jack!” accompanied by a blushing face emoji.
While Jackson has been making waves with his online interactions, Nicole has been navigating her own path following her split from Kelce. She recently made headlines after revealing that she had unfollowed her former friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes on social media, a move she explained as necessary for her own well-being. Nicole discussed the decision with PEOPLE, stating, “The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made. That’s a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn’t change overnight. But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.”
Nicole and Kelce had an on-and-off relationship that spanned around five years, starting in 2017. Since their split, Nicole has focused on her career and personal growth, while Kelce has moved on with his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.
Despite the changes in her personal life, Nicole continues to engage with her followers on social media. However, her posts haven’t been without controversy. Over the weekend, Nicole shared photos of herself in a white bikini, accessorized with a Chanel headscarf. While the images received praise, some fans criticized her for holding a starfish in one of the photos. Concerned followers pointed out the potential harm to the marine animal, with one commenting, “Kayla ilysm but I am passionate about not picking up the starfish. The oil/chemicals on your skin can be harmful to them and when you take them out of the water they’re literally suffocating.”
Nicole didn’t publicly respond to the criticism but soon after shared more snapshots of her life, including pictures from a bike ride with family members, seemingly on the West Coast.
Meanwhile, Travis Kelce recently made his preseason debut in Jacksonville, where the Kansas City Chiefs faced a 26-13 loss to the Jaguars. Kelce had one catch for seven yards in the game, as he and the Chiefs continue to prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
As Nicole continues to navigate the post-breakup spotlight and focus on her own endeavors, it’s clear that her connection to the Mahomes family remains a topic of interest, particularly with Jackson Mahomes’ ongoing public admiration for her.
