Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole made quite the impression this Halloween, going viral for her creative costume as an NFL WAG and pop star. The sports commentator, who previously dated the Kansas City Chiefs tight end for five years, took to social media to showcase her look, which was inspired by Russell Wilson’s wife, Ciara.
The couple had parted ways in 2022, and shortly thereafter, Kelce began dating pop icon Taylor Swift, a relationship that has catapulted his popularity beyond the NFL.
On Thursday, Nicole posted her Halloween costume on social media, paying homage to Ciara’s style by recreating some of the singer’s iconic looks from her music video for the hit song “Ride.”
The first outfit featured a revealing onesie paired with a fur jacket, exuding Ciara’s signature confident flair. Nicole also donned a second look that included a black crop top, form-fitting leggings, and an Oakland A’s cap—each ensemble carefully curated to match Ciara’s vibe from the video.
Nicole didn’t stop at just recreating the outfits. She also posted side-by-side clips of Ciara’s music video alongside herself lip-syncing and performing parts of the choreography.
The videos showcased her commitment to channeling the pop star’s energy, and fans were impressed by her attention to detail.

In her Instagram stories, Nicole gave followers a behind-the-scenes look at the process of putting together the intricate dance moves.
She was candid about the challenge of trying to emulate Ciara’s well-known skills in dance. “@ciara is THE QUEEN of choreo. Meanwhile, I can barely do a TikTok 8 count,” Nicole humorously admitted. “I remember when this video dropped. I was in awe then, and even more in awe now. Cause me tryna keep up was comical.”
Her playful and self-aware approach to the Halloween tribute won over her followers, many of whom appreciated the lighthearted effort she put into the costume.
Nicole added, “If you really know me, you know nothing is evvvvvver that serious and everything is funny.” It was clear that she was enjoying herself, and her fans seemed to enjoy her fun-loving take on Halloween as well.
While Kelce seems to be thriving in his relationship with Taylor Swift, Nicole has been linked to another star athlete since their breakup. The former NBA player Iman Shumpert has been identified as one of Nicole’s exes after she mentioned him on Angel Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast.
During the podcast, Nicole opened up about her past relationships, revealing that she once dated the 2016 NBA Champion and that their relationship ended abruptly when she was dumped via text for a famous songwriter-actress.
Though Nicole did not name names, she dropped enough hints to leave little doubt.
Shumpert, who previously dated and later married Teyana Taylor, parted ways with the singer in 2023. Nicole’s comments added another layer of intrigue to her personal life, further fueling speculation among fans.
Despite these ups and downs in her romantic relationships, Kayla Nicole continues to thrive professionally and personally, always keeping a positive attitude and embracing the lighter side of life.
Her Halloween tribute to Ciara showed off her fun personality and reminded fans of her flair for entertainment.
Whether it’s her career as a sports commentator, her presence on social media, or her creative approach to costumes, Nicole is making it clear that she’s carving out her own path and enjoying every moment of it.
