Kayla Nicole has (kind of) reacted to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement news.

Nicole dated Kelce between 2017 and 2022 before the Kansas City Chiefs favorite sparked up a romance with Swift around July 2023.

Their relationship sparked a worldwide frenzy and Swifties have been hoping that the Grammy Award-winning singer was finally going to get her happy ending - and she has.

On August 26, the happy couple announced that they're engaged to be married.

Sharing a series of sweet photos of them in a flower-filled garden, the pair said in a joint Instagram post: "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

Kelce's dad proceeded to share more details about their engagement and revealed that it happened a couple of weeks prior to their public announcement.

"Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago," Ed Kelce told News 5 on August 27, adding: "He was going to put it off until this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event."

Shortly after the news broke, Kelce's ex Nicole shared a cryptic post to social media where she reshared a clip of Tracee Ellis Ross discussing actively choosing 'joy' in life.

While that wasn't a direct reaction to the couple's betrothal, Nicole has been asked about it at an event.

She chatted to the Daily Mail at a House of Champion event in New York and was quizzed about her relationship status.

"We have a lot of males asking if you're single or not," the reporter said.

Nicole replied: "Really? Tell them yes I am. Whoever's asking, absolutely."

Going on to reveal what her 'type' is and what she's looking for in a guy, Nicole listed off: "Oh I love a very honest man. A man of really great character. Someone who likes to have fun. Spontaneous. Great relationship with their family. Has really good girlfriends. The list is long!"

Nicole was then asked if she has any comments about Kelce and Swift's engagement...

"Oh no. No, no," she said while smiling awkwardly. Quickly changing the topic, Nicole added: "I'm really happy to be here at Champion though. This is a good party."

Is it just me or does Nicole have the same top-tier deflection skills as Neo in The Matrix?
