Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, is pitching herself as the next star of “The Bachelorette” after ABC pulled Taylor Frankie Paul’s season, which was supposed to air March 22.
Nicole, who dated the Chiefs tight end on and off from 2017-22, shared a TikTok video spoofing an audition tape for the reality dating show on Wednesday.
“My audition to be the next Bachelorette,” Nicole wrote over the clip, which shows her lip-syncing to a playful audio.
“Hey @ABC, heard you need a stand in?” the “Pregame” podcast host added with a red rose emoji and crying-laughing face.
In the video, Nicole is following the script of someone listing off their accomplishments for a dating profile.
Nicole, who hasn’t publicly dated anyone since her split from Kelce, appeared to be joking.
The influencer previously dabbled in the reality television world. She won Season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” passing the final selection alongside former reality star Brody Jenner last February.
Disney, the parent company of ABC, made the decision not to air Frankie Paul’s season after a disturbing video from 2023 was published by TMZ showing Paul throwing chairs at her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, while in the presence of her 8-year-old daughter, Indy.
Paul, who is a cast member of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” and Mortensen are involved in a domestic violence investigation in Utah.
Disney has not yet shared if it will move forward with a new casting for “The Bachelorette.”
Kelce moved on with 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift.
The three-time Super Bowl champ — who signed a three-year, $57.7 million contract extension with the Chiefs this week after contemplating retirement — and Swift began dating in the summer of 2023 and went public with their relationship that year in October.
Kelce and Swift are reportedly set to tie the knot sometime this summer after announcing their engagement last August.
