Kayla Nicole suffers "constant trolling" about her former relationship with Travis Kelce.
YouTube star Kayla Nicole dated Travis Kelce before he met Taylor Swift
The 32-year-old Youtuber dated NFL star Travis, 35, in the years before he achieved worldwide fame through his relationship with pop megastar Taylor Swift, and now Kayla has joined the tough military challenge show 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test', where she admitted that she will face online abuse no matter what she does.
Speaking on the season three premiere of the Fox reality show, she explained: "I do feel a little low, depleted, a little bit. Even like coming to this experience, it was like I just kept telling myself, like I don't want to embarrass myself. And there's a part of me that wants to prove that, like I am capable of doing hard and challenging things.
"Like I wanted to prove that to other people, in all honesty, but really prove it to myself, though, because I feel like I need that.
"[The trolling] is pretty constant. Constantly. It doesn't matter. I could post about the sky being blue, and people will have a response about an ex and their new situation."
Kayla - who dated Travis on and off from 2017 until 2022 - admitted that her experience on social media has led her to "question" herself in terms of being a potential romantic partner and she faces a perpetual "comparison" between herself and the 'Anti-Hero' songstress that she is still trying to deal with.
She said: "It's inadvertently affected me to the point where it makes me question, just like, my overall value as a person, as a partner.
"I think it's just the comparison and it's just like on loop. I think I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with that."
