This time, the focus was not on former boyfriend Travis Kelce, but rather on his teammate and All-Pro tight end, George Kittle from the San Francisco 49ers.
Kittle has finalized an impressive four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the 49ers, ensuring his position as the top-paid tight end in the NFL. The agreement overshadowed Kelce’s existing contract and ignited discussions throughout the league.
In reaction to the announcement, Claire Kittle, George’s spouse, rejoiced on Instagram. That’s when Kayla Nicole joined the conversation – quite literally – with a daring and clearly enthusiastic message:
“[Expletive] YEEEAAAH!” “Bang bang, sweetheart,” Nicole penned.
Kittle exceeds Kelce in terms of finances.
Although Nicole did not refer to Kelce specifically, the timing and substance of her remark sparked curiosity among fans and the press. Considering her background of making public statements frequently seen as indirect comments on Kelce’s personal life or career decisions, many perceived this new message as possible shade—particularly as Kittle has now surpassed Kelce in the tight end salary rankings.
Following an impressive 2024 season where he recorded 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games, the 49ers’ offensive star demonstrated once more why he ranks among the best in his role.
In the meantime, Kelce remains focused on his personal objectives, both on the field and outside of it. As speculation surrounds the possibility of the 2025 season being his final one, the 34-year-old veteran stays concentrated on securing another championship to enhance his already impressive resume.
Although he came up short in the Super Bowl versus the Eagles, Kelce remained a steady presence in 2024, recording 97 catches for 823 yards and five touchdowns across 16 games.
Although his statistics didn’t match previous peaks, he continued to be the core of Kansas City’s offense – and an essential target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
