Kayla Nicole had a hard time dealing with her mental health post parting ways with Travis Kelce. The model and fitness influencer had an on-and-off relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, for five years. But eventually, due to reasons unknown, the couple decided to break up and move on with their lives.
Since then, Nicole has revealed a lot about her mental and emotional struggles. But as they say, life must go on. Nicole, too, took the support of fitness to navigate through the rough patch, eventually falling in love with herself. And now, she is celebrating a major milestone for her fitness brand – Tribe Therepe.
Kayla Nicole shares an exuberating “progress” filled update
Travis Kelce’s former girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, shared a couple of Instagram stories giving her followers a glance to her new headquarters for the fitness brand she owns. In a story video, the fitness freak can be seen casually performing aerobic dancing in a big empty hall, donning her gym wear. This hall is her latest achievement in the fitness world, as it is reportedly the home to her brand Tribe Therepe.
To give a clear understanding, Nicole shared a caption along with the video story: “@TRIBETHEREPE HEADQUARTERS” with crying face, lock and key emojis. She also linked “LLC” song by rapper Money Man. In another story, she is seen behind the cameras showing off the key to the headquarters, and sharing a screenshot of her X handle which she has captioned: “Progress is progress is progress is progress. No matter how long it takes.”
Although the location of the place remains unknown at the moment, it seems she is quite happy with her achievement, leading her fitness journey to this great milestone. Nicole launched her brand in 2020, initially calling it “Strong Is Sexy,” or SIS, for short.

After nearly three years of growing her community, and navigating the content creation space, the model changed the brand’s name to “Tribe Therepe,” due to trademark issues. Despite the name change, her mission to focus on mental and physical health remained, which is why she gained thousands of members in her community.
This fitness journey and hard work were crucial for Nicole, as post-breakup, she navigated through many struggles, which she revealed in an interview last year.
The mental struggles Nicole faced after separating from Travis Kelce
After Kayla Nicole’s major breakup with the NFL star, she struggled to maintain her authenticity as a fitness influencer. In her words, despite being in good physical shape, she felt miserable inside. Even though she continued to work out to release emotional stress, Nicole realized that she was feeling anxious and experiencing bouts of depression.
During this time, she even had difficulty getting out of bed, “lost a substantial amount of weight within a very short amount of time,” as well as wasn’t eating and sleeping well.
In addition to that, she further mentioned, “I was really abusing melatonin to sleep at night….I had never felt so bad in my life.” As a result, she started going to therapy, and hence, quickly realized that it is the thing her body wants – to be mentally fit too, besides being only physically fit. Therefore, later, she launched her Tribe Therepe brand, focused on “feel-good fitness.”
Now looking back, Nicole is grateful for therapy and feels more powerful, stronger, fit, and independent than ever. She has now indeed moved on. As the influence seems to be getting back on track with her health, her progress warms hearts after the tough times she has faced.
