Fans think Kayla Nicola just threw serious shade at her ex Travis Kelce and his fiancé Taylor Swift.

For those who need a quick catch-up, sports journalist Kayla, 34, and NFL star Travis, 36, began dating in 2017 and were in an on-again, off-again relationship for five years, before finally calling it quits in 2022.

Then, in July 2023, the Trav and Taylor dating rumours kicked off after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end shot his shot during the singer's Eras Tour - fast-forward a few years and the celebrity couple are engaged, you know the story.

Despite the exes parting ways all the way back in 2022, fans are convinced that the trio have still subtly shaded each other on a number of occasions.

Swifties think Taylor's song 'Opalite' and the music video are taking aim at Kayla, while others believe the journalist's Halloween costume was a dig at her former flame.

And now, in the latest rumour, the internet is convinced that Kayla was poking fun at the celebrity couple during a Super Bowl ad she starred in.

During the major sporting event on Sunday (8 February) the media personality appeared in the ad for Sleeper, which also starred the likes of Ben Simmons, Tiffany Haddish, and Offset.

The premise of the ad saw Ben and Tiffany promoting their firm 'Simmons & Haddish' that helps you get 'ex-communicated' from your ex after a rough break up.

Haddish said: “Have you or someone you know been injured emotionally in a high-profile relationship? It’s very common."

While Kayla joked: “Don’t get me started on these two “They’ve got no idea what they’re doing. At all."

She continued: "Simmons and Haddish promised me that they could put an end to this whole ‘ex-girlfriend’ fiasco quickly,” to which Ben then jumped in with: "That doesn’t sound like what I said."

Kayla corrected herself with: "Rapidly," to which Ben again said: "That’s not what I said." Can you see where this is going yet?

"Okay, pronto,” Kayla said, to which Ben jumped in with: "I said swiftly! Why is that so hard to remember?"

Reacting to the ad, fans were left divided and Swifties made sure to swoop in to defend Taylor.

One Twitter user brutally penned: "Second hand embarrassment has reached new heights" while a second added: "Tasteless is all I'm saying".

While someone else argued: "I guess I’m in the minority cause this is hilarious."

And another social media user questioned: "I’m not even a Taylor Swift fan, and I’m embarrassed for Kayla Nicole like GIRL WHY DID YOU DO THAT GOOFY ASS COMMERCIAL?!?!?"

"Honestly, Kayla Nicole probably got a huge paycheck to be in that ad saying that, but no amount of $$ would make me embarrass myself like that," penned someone else.

Meanwhile, another fan argued: "Correction! Taylor Swift shaded Kayla on Friday in the Opalite video!"

Tyla has contacted a rep for Kayla for comment.
