Kayla Nicole wants to go for the big ballers in business rather than date another ball player.

The podcaster and sports media personality was a guest on the Tuesday (Nov. 25) episode of Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey, where she shared that her options have expanded.

Kayla previously dated Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce on and off for five years before breaking up for good in 2022. The following year, the NFL player began dating Taylor Swift, and the couple got engaged in August.

Podcast host Jowsey seemed to be flirting with Kayla around the 26-minute mark of the video below by telling her that he co-owns a Los Angeles Rugby team.

After asking the host if he has "owner friends," Kayla continued, "I keep saying I don't want to date any more athletes, but I'm down to date the owners of the teams."

"I'm here," Jowsey said.

"And 10 other, 20 other women. You seem like you come with a lot. I'm not going to lie," Kayla joked to Jowsey, who was visibly taken aback.

Kayla said goodbye to Kelce, and apparently other professional athletes, when she dressed as Toni Braxton from the 2000 music video for "He Wasn't Man Enough" on Halloween.

Weeks before that, Swift released her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, and listeners speculated that she shaded Kayla on track "Opalite."

"You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone/You were in it for real, she was in her phone/And you were just a pose," Swift sang on the song.

Kayla appeared to respond with a clip from former reality competition show America’s Next Top Model, where third cycle winner Eva Marcille shared her refusal to compare herself to other women.
