Travis Kelce - English
Kayla Nicole, sports journalist and podcast host, has recently shared a candid look at her life as a single pet parent following her 2022 breakup with NFL star Travis Kelce.
Known for her openness, Nicole has opened up about the overwhelming responsibility of caring for their two dogs, Chauncey Gallagher Kelce The First and Rambo, after their relationship ended.
In a recent episode of her podcast Pre-Game, Nicole described the unexpected challenges she faced when taking full responsibility for her dogs. Despite her public persona, Nicole gave her listeners a rare and honest insight into the emotional and financial burden of managing her pets without the help she was once used to during her relationship with Kelce.
The financial strain of caring for her dogs became evident during a recent veterinary emergency, where Nicole was faced with an expensive bill.

“I had a dog bill the other day that was 2,000 dollars,” she said.
In an emotionally charged moment, she reflected on the stark reality of her situation, questioning, “Do I have kids, or do I not have kids? Am I a single mother?” This moment of vulnerability resonated with many of her followers, who responded with advice on managing the financial pressures of pet ownership, including recommendations for pet insurance to help with future expenses.
Navigating the emotional and financial aspects of pet ownership
Beyond the practical and financial considerations, Nicole also addressed the emotional toll of adjusting to life as a single pet parent. She described feelings of loneliness and the struggles of caring for her dogs while also facing the realities of a life post-relationship.
The dogs, who were once shared responsibilities with Kelce, are now fully her responsibility. Nicole’s openness about the emotional difficulties she faces as a single pet owner paints a picture of the often-overlooked side of pet care that many might not fully understand.
Nicole’s transparency about her experiences struck a chord with her audience, many of whom could relate to the hardships she described. Her willingness to share these personal challenges has led to a wave of support from her followers.
Others have shared their own stories of single pet parenthood, offering advice and encouragement to help Nicole-and each other-through the tough moments.
Through her podcast, Nicole has created a supportive community for those navigating similar circumstances. Her ability to balance humor with vulnerability has opened the door for more honest conversations about the responsibilities and struggles that come with being a pet owner, especially after a significant life change like a breakup.
In conclusion, Kayla Nicole’s recent revelations about the challenges of single pet parenthood shed light on the emotional and financial struggles of caring for pets alone.
By sharing her story, she not only provides a window into the life of a single pet parent but also encourages others to open up and build a supportive community. Her transparency reminds us that we’re not alone in facing life’s struggles, and sometimes, sharing those experiences can be incredibly healing.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool fans: A sensible conversation about booing
Liverpool’s game against Arsenal on Sunday should have been a party — glorious weather, no pressure and a full house at Anfield to salute the new Premier League champions.Instead, the mood was soured by a hostile reception for Trent Alexander-Arnold in his first match since he confirmed he was leaving the club at the end of the season on a free transfer.AdvertisementThere has been a vociferous debate ever since about the rights and wrongs of the reaction. In an effort to cut through the noise, we are offering edited versions of that debate — first, as it played out on our dedicated Liverpool podcast Walk On between Liverpool writers James Pearce and Simon Hughes, and host Tony Evans; and also in the comments section of James’ article on Anfield’s reaction to Alexander-Arnold, published on Monday.Tony Evans: Did you see it […]
Jason Puncheon: ‘You have one chance to be part of history at a club. This is Palace’s’
For three glorious minutes, Jason Puncheon allowed himself to dream of winning the FA Cup for his club, the team he grew up supporting and whose ground was a stone’s throw from his home.His sumptuous volley thumped beyond David de Gea and into the back of the Manchester United net had put Crystal Palace ahead 78 minutes into the 2016 final. The finishing line was within sight. Then Juan Mata’s equaliser and Jesse Lingard’s extra-time winner turned euphoria into despair, dreams into dust.AdvertisementNine years on from that day and Puncheon, now a manager in the Cypriot league, still remains synonymous with the FA Cup for Palace fans. His attention will be drawn away from preparations for life in Cypriot First Division by Wembley again and Saturday’s 2025 final, where Palace confront Manchester City. The Eagles will be trying, once again, […]
Rafaela Pimenta interview: Sexism in football, the game’s ‘hostage’ problem and doing the Haaland deal
Rafaela Pimenta is wearing a beige splint over her left wrist. She tore the ligaments in her fingers and thumb playing, ironically enough, football.“It’s so stupid,” she says, understandably frustrated she cannot do daily tasks such as tying up her hair or typing on her laptop and phone.But what irks her far more is some people’s reaction, even today, when she tells them she is a football agent. As she sat down to see the doctor about her recent hand injury, he asked what she did for work.Advertisement“I’m a football agent,” said Pimenta. The doctor stopped writing. “That’s not possible,” he said.That triggers her.“Why?” she replied.“But you’re a woman?” he said.“He really said this to me!” Pimenta tells The Athletic. “He didn’t mean it badly (but) he was looking at me as if I had fallen from space.“I was so […]
Xabi Alonso made Bayer Leverkusen and the Bundesliga better. That’s some legacy
Before Xabi Alonso and after Xabi Alonso are distinct periods. For Bayer Leverkusen, but perhaps even for German football more broadly.Leverkusen first, because it’s simpler.The magnitude of what Alonso accomplished speaks for itself. Prior to 2024, Leverkusen had never been German champions in their 120-year history, either before the Bundesliga era started or after it began in 1963. To complete an unbeaten domestic double was not just unprecedented for the club, but also a feat unmatched by any team in German football history.AdvertisementAnd Alonso was one game away from winning a European trophy, too, which would have installed him and his players in the sport’s pantheon. Atalanta and Ademola Lookman ultimately put paid to that, but Alonso’s influence remains inarguably profound.In the first instance, because the group of players he inherited were only theoretically capable of what they accomplished. Leverkusen […]
