Kayla Nicole , the former girlfriend of NFL star Travis Kelce , turned heads this Halloween with a performance that quickly became the talk of social media. Dressed as R&B legend Toni Braxton, the model and sports journalist recreated Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video, a move that fans interpreted as a pointed message toward Kelce, who is now engaged to global superstar Taylor Swift .
The video featured Nicole confidently singing, “Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn't man enough for me,” prompting an outpouring of reactions from celebrities and fans alike.
Among those impressed by Nicole’s bold display was Draya Michele , entrepreneur and girlfriend of Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green . Michele commented under the viral clip with a simple response.

Draya Michele celebrated Kayla Nicole’s Halloween performance, writing in the comment section, “So good.” Michele, who has built her own reputation as a fashion influencer and reality TV star, is known for her candid online presence. Her two-word response was enough to catch the attention of fans, who saw it as both support and validation for Nicole’s unapologetic confidence.
Nicole’s Halloween post, meanwhile, drew praise from several others in the sports world. WNBA star Angel Reese and Claire Kittle, wife of San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, both expressed approval. Even Jackson Mahomes, brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kelce’s teammate, was among those who liked the video.
The choice of costume and song, however, fueled speculation that Nicole was sending a veiled message about her past relationship.
As for Jalen Green, the Phoenix Suns continue to deal with injury setbacks as Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks remain sidelined. Green has yet to make his regular-season debut after suffering a hamstring injury during preseason activities. Brooks, meanwhile, missed his third straight game on Friday against the Utah Jazz due to a core muscle strain, adding to the team’s challenges early in the campaign.
Green is making headlines off the court after a viral video showed him getting a massive tattoo of his girlfriend, Draya Michele, across his back. The 23-year-old’s decision to ink a detailed portrait of Michele, who is 40, quickly sparked debate online.
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce’s complicated history
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce first began dating in 2017, and their relationship was an on-again, off-again affair that finally ended in 2022. Nicole later opened up about moving forward and reclaiming her narrative, telling People: “The opinions of others are only as big as you make them.” She added, "So if I don't allow it to affect me, it simply won't. You know what I mean? Sometimes on social media, we think that it's the whole world, and it's really not."
Since their split, Nicole has focused on her podcast The Pre-Game, using it to discuss relationships, independence, and personal growth. Kelce, on the other hand, has gone public with his engagement to Taylor Swift, making them one of the most-watched celebrity couples in the world.
