Dating

Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend is opening up on her decision to cut ties with Brittany and Patrick Mahomes on social media ... saying she still has love for her friends, but she had to create a distance to "protect" herself amid the tight end's new romance with Taylor Swift.

Kayla Nicole -- who dated Kelce for five years -- hit the "unfollow" button on her longtime friends' Instagram accounts last month ... something she says she discussed with Brittany in private.

"I do think it's important to publicly address this because I did publicly unfollow people," Nicole told People. "The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I've communicated to these people why I've had to publicly make the decisions that I made."

Shortly after Kayla's social media activity, many speculated she was pissed about Brittany getting chummy with her ex's new woman ... but she says that's not the case -- seemingly claiming she is still in contact with not only the Mahomeses, but Travis as well.

"To everyone it's like, 'Oh, you broke up a year ago,' and that meant it's like a light switch, you turn it on and off and everything goes dead and black and you don't ever speak to anyone ever again. That's not reality. I have ongoing relationships with all parties involved."

Kayla added Brittany knows she still cares about her ... but it sounds like she decided to separate herself in the public space to avoid further drama as she looks to move on with her life.

La ex novia de Travis Kelce se está abriendo sobre su decisión de cortar los lazos con Brittany y Patrick Mahomes en las redes sociales, diciendo que aún le tiene cariño a sus amigos, pero tuvo que distanciarse de ellos para "protegerse", en medio del nuevo romance de la estrella de los Kansas City Chiefs con Taylor Swift.

Kayla Nicole, que salió con Kelce durante cinco años, dejó de seguir a sus amigos de toda la vida en Instagram el mes pasado, algo que asegura que discutió con Brittany en privado.

"Creo que es importante abordar esto públicamente porque públicamente fue que dejé de seguirlas", dijo Nicole a People. "La realidad es que los conozco en la vida real. Y así, en la vida real, les comuniqué por qué tuve que tomar las decisiones que tomé."

Poco después de la actividad de Kayla en las redes sociales, muchos especularon que ella estaba enojada con Brittany por hacerse amiga de la nueva pareja de su ex, pero Kayla dijo que no es el caso, afirmando que aparentemente sigue en contacto con ellos, y no solo con los Mahomeses, también con Travis.

"Para todo el mundo es como, 'Oh, terminaron hace un año', y eso significa que es como un interruptor, algo que apagas y no vuelves a hablar con nadie nunca más. Eso no es así. Tengo relaciones continuas con todas las partes involucradas".

Brittany todavía sabe que Kayla se preocupa de ella, pero pareciera que decidió apartarse del espacio público para evitar más drama mientras busca seguir adelante con su vida.

Que Kyle Richards borrara la foto de Mauricio Umansky y su pareja de baile en "Dancing With the Stars" fue algo intencional y se conecta directamente con la imagen de Mauricio saliendo de un restaurante de Los Ángeles de la mano con Emma Slater.

Fuentes cercanas a la pareja distanciada dicen a TMZ que Kyle no se cree lo que Mauricio está diciendo sobre las fotos, esto es, que estaba de la mano con Emma porque estaba sobrepasado por la emoción de rememorar los buenos recuerdos con Kyle, mientras comían sushi. La historia y su motivación simplemente no se sostienen.

Como sabrán, Kyle eliminó la foto de Mauricio y Emma apoyándolos en "Dancing With The Stars" de su feed de Instagram, y no por accidente.

La cuestión es... todo el mundo está hablando de una posible relación entre Kyle y Morgan Wade, aunque las dos nunca han confirmado o negado nada. No ha habido fotos de demostración de afecto en público, por lo que la foto de Mauricio y Emma es un nuevo giro  y algunos cercanos a la pareja lo están considerando "súper irrespetuoso" con Kyle.

Dicho esto, los dos siguen viviendo bajo el mismo techo y su relación es "en general amigable", dicen las fuentes.

Kyle Richards deleting the photo of Mauricio Umansky and his dance partner on "Dancing With the Stars" was intentional ... it directly connects to the photo of Mauricio walking out of an L.A. restaurant holding hands with Emma Slater.

Sources close to the estranged couple tell TMZ ... Kyle isn't buying what Mauricio is selling over the pics ... he says he was holding hands with Emma because he was overtaken with emotion ... when he talked to Emma over sushi about fond memories of getting married to Kyle. The story and the motivation just don't hold water.

As you may know, Kyle removed the pic of Mauricio and Emma supporting them on 'DWTS' from her Instagram feed, and not by accident.

Fact is ... everyone's talking about a rumored relationship between Kyle and Morgan Wade, although the 2 have never confirmed or denied it. There have been no PDA pics of Kyle and Morgan, so the photo of Mauricio and Emma is a new twist .... some folks close to the couple call it " super disrespectful" to Kyle.

Mauricio and Emma's performance on "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night came off as pretty sexy, too ... and people online have been sure to point that out.

That said ... the 2 are still living under the same roof and their relationship is "generally amicable," sources say.

In terms of any possible reconciliation, we're told this photo could be a buzzkill. As one source put it, "It's obvious what's up."

Travis Kelce knows he's doing the right thing in dating Taylor Swift ... and it's all thanks to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid giving his stamp of approval on the relationship.

Big Red gave a glowing review of the pop superstar following the Chiefs' big win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday ... saying "Taylor can stay around all she wants" as Kelce continues to ball out every time she attends his games.

Travis addressed Reid's comments on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother Jason on Wednesday ... saying the coach's endorsement is a good sign.

"I love Coach Reid, man," Taylor's boo said. "What a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right."

Of course, Jason noted Travis' stats see a huge spike whenever T. Swift comes around ... saying he averages nearly 100 yards a game when she's present, and just 46.5 when she skips.

Kelce laughed it all off ... saying there's no way he couldn't know about Taylor's impact on his game -- considering everyone's talking about it on social media.

Travis Kelce sabe que está haciendo lo correcto al salir con Taylor Swift y todo porque el entrenador en jefe de los Chiefs, Andy Reid, le está dando su aprobación a la relación.

Big Red elogió a la superestrella del pop después de la gran victoria de los Chiefs sobre Los Angeles Chargers el domingo, diciendo que "Taylor puede quedarse todo lo que quiera", mientras Kelce siga jugando así de bien cada vez que ella asiste a sus juegos.

Travis abordó los comentarios de Reid en su podcast "New Heights" con su hermano Jason el miércoles, diciendo que el respaldo del entrenador es una buena señal.

"Me encanta el entrenador Reid", dijo la pareja de Taylor. "Qué tipo. Mira, cuando recibes la aprobación y las bendiciones de Big Red, sabes que estás haciendo algo bien".

Por supuesto, Jason señaló que las estadísticas de Travis se disparan cada vez que Taylor Swift se acerca, diciendo que promedia casi 100 yardas por partido cuando ella está presente y solo 46,5 cuando se pierde un partido.

Kelce se rio de todo, diciendo que no había forma de que no supiera del impacto de Taylor en su juego, teniendo en cuenta que todo el mundo está hablando de ello en las redes.

Nikki Glaser is proving she's the ultra Taylor Swift fan, shelling out big bucks for the pop star's concert tickets.

The comedian appeared as a guest on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Monday -- and admitted she anted up an eye-popping $25K for tickets to go see Taylor's super successful "Eras" tour last summer.

Chuckling, Glaser told Kelly, "I just want to say that it was a conscious decision because I went to nine "Eras" tour shows this year. "Like, when I'm not on tour, I go to her tour."

Glaser went on, "It just fills my life up with so much joy. I'm in my late 30s. I just feel like, I don't have kids, and I did the math and if I had kids, I'd be paying for dance camp and swim lessons."

For context, tickets for Taylor's shows go for between $49 to $499 a pop, depending on the seating section. Resale tickets can range from $500 to $7,000 each, but that's just chump change for die-hard Swifties like Glaser.

During her sit-down with Kelly, Glaser also joked that she saved all of her money to freeze her eggs, but then decided to spend the dough on Taylor's concerts, describing her actions as going "buck wild."

Taylor has also been going wild lately, turning the world upside down after she and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, revealed they're now an item. She has recently attended Travis' NFL games, rubbing elbows with his parents in their suite at Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Everyone is now wondering are wedding bells in the future for the lovebirds.

Nikki Glaser está demostrando que es la mayor fan de Taylor Swift, pues desembolsó muchísimo dinero para conseguir entradas al concierto de la estrella del pop.

La comediante apareció como invitada en "The Kelly Clarkson Show" el lunes y admitió que pagó la impresionante cifra de $25K para ir a ver a Taylor a su exitosa gira "Eras".

Riéndose, Glaser le dijo a Kelly: "Sólo quiero decir que fue una decisión consciente porque fui a nueve conciertos de la gira "Eras" este año. "Cuando no estoy de gira, voy a su gira".

Glaser prosiguió: "Me llena la vida de tanta alegría. Tengo treinta y tantos años. No tengo hijos, e hice las cuentas y si tuviera hijos, estaría pagando por el campamento de baile y las clases de natación".

Para contextualizar, las entradas para los conciertos de Taylor cuestan entre 49 y 499 dólares cada uno, dependiendo de la ubicación. Las entradas de reventa pueden oscilar entre los 500 y 7.000 dólares, pero eso no es nada para Swifties acérrimos como Glaser.

Durante su conversación con Kelly, Glaser también bromeó diciendo que ahorró todo su dinero para congelar sus óvulos, pero luego decidió gastar la pasta en los conciertos de Taylor, describiendo sus acciones como "descabelladas", en español.

Taylor también ha estado actuando de forma salvaje últimamente, poniendo el mundo al revés después de revelar que sí tiene algo con el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce. La cantante ha estado en los últimos partidos de la NFL de Travis, codeándose con sus padres en su suite en el estadio Arrowhead en Kansas City.

Todo el mundo se pregunta si habrá boda en el futuro de los tortolitos.

Jason Kelce clearly thinks Travis Kelce is getting smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying Sunday night his brother sure seems "excited" and "genuine" about the relationship.

The Eagles star told Peter King following the Eagles' win over the Dolphins in Philadelphia, however, that he is at least a little concerned about the level of attention the two new lovebirds are getting.

"On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about," Jason said. "But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot.'"

Jason -- who added that he's "really, really happy" for his brother's "current situation" -- appeared to be particularly worried about the paps who have been following the duo's every move since they went public with their relationship in Kansas City last month.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" Jason said. "This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with."

Jason, though, seemed to believe his brother could handle it all ... as long as the safety of his friends and family isn't threatened.

Taylor Swift planted one on Travis Kelce this weekend -- the first time we've seen her pucker up to her boyfriend in public ... though it's still very PG-13.

The singer was photographed after the game Sunday next to her man, posing with Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend, Chariah Gordon. In one of the shots, you can see TayTay kissing Travis on the cheek, with her hand on his chest.

Like we said, this marks the debut of any kind of affection at this level -- thus far, we've only seen them hold hands in public ... so, it would seem their PDA is growing by the day.

TBH, this is a side of Taylor we haven't really seen until now. Before getting with Travis, she's tended to be quite private and away from the spotlight as it relates to her significant others ... particularly while she was dating Joe Alwyn. They were practically in the shadows.

Now, however, Taylor seems to be embracing the public nature of this relationship ... and she's loving it. Not only have we seen her express herself at games full throttle, but even when it comes to stuff like this -- it doesn't seem like she and Trav are all that shy.

As for TK ... he, too, seems ready for all the scrutiny -- something that undoubtedly comes with the territory of what he does professionally. If anything, this attention is nothing new.

Gotta say, the more we see of these two ... the more it feels like they could have real legs as a couple. Their lives are certainly blending at a fast rate -- and the people are all about it.

Mauricio Umansky might have turned his dance partner into a real-life romantic partner -- 'cause he's out here looking real cozy with Emma Slater ... or so it seems.

The 'Real Housewives' star -- who's currently separated from his estranged wife, Kyle Richards -- hit up a restaurant in Bev Hills Sunday night with Emma ... who he's sharing screen time with right now during his stint on "Dancing With the Stars" as her celeb plus-1.

Welp, it looks like they're taking their ballroom connection into the outside world -- that is, if these photos on their face are to be believed -- 'cause the 'DWTS' pair walked away from their one-on-one dinner hand in hand, coming across awfully couple-y.

No other signs of PDA between 'em that we can see ... but this feels telling on its own.

Mauricio and Emma have actually been hanging out a lot lately -- dressing up for Halloween as recently as last week. So, yeah ... they've been chummy for a good while now.

Now, our sources with direct knowledge tell us the hand-holding was spurred on by a deep convo the duo had over dinner -- namely discussing their upcoming dance on this week's episode. We're told the theme is "most important year of your life" -- and Mauricio opened up to Emma about why 1996 was so pivotal for him.

Our sources say Mauricio actually revealed a lot to Emma last night on this topic -- '96 was the year he and Kyle married, he was fired from the fashion industry and he pivoted to real estate -- and we're told that, as a result, they felt far more connected and closer than ever ... which, we suppose, explains why they looked like this while exiting.

As for whether this is blossoming into a romance ... the sources couldn't say one way or another.

Of course, there's been tons of speculation about Mauricio and Kyle, whose marriage has come under a microscope this year amid KR's friendship with Morgan Wade.

Kyle has long insisted they're simply partners on a project right now ... as Kyle is producing a documentary on Morgan's life -- but some have still suggested a romance might be afoot.

Meanwhile ... Mauricio and Kyle haven't really cut each other out of their respective lives. They've gone on vacation together with the rest of their family -- and have hung out on a number of occasions for holiday get-togethers and the like. It's been ... interesting.

Taylor Swift le dio un beso a Travis Kelce este fin de semana y es la primera vez que la vemos hacer algo así en público.

La cantante fue fotografiada después del partido del domingo junto a su hombre, posando con el receptor de los Chiefs Mecole Hardman Jr. y su novia, Chariah Gordon. En una de las fotos, se puede ver a TayTay besando a Travis en la mejilla y con su mano en el pecho.

Como dijimos, esto marca el debut de cualquier tipo de afecto a este nivel —hasta ahora—, ya que solo los habíamos visto tomados de la mano en público. Así que podemos decir que el amor está creciendo.

Este es un lado de Taylor que realmente no habíamos visto hasta ahora. Antes de salir con Travis, ella tendía a ser bastante privada y alejada de los focos en lo que se refiere a sus parejas, sobre todo mientras salía con Joe Alwyn. Estaban prácticamente en las sombras.

Ahora, sin embargo, Taylor parece estar abrazando la naturaleza pública de esta relación. No solo la hemos visto expresarse en los juegos, además tiene apariciones como esta en la que se le puede ver muy cómoda con toda la situación.

En cuanto a Travis... él también parece estar listo para estar en el ojo públuco, por su trabajo y prontuario sabemos que podrá manejarlo.

Hay que decir que cuanto más vemos de estos dos ... más se siente como que podrían tener piernas reales como pareja. Sus vidas se están mezclando a un ritmo rápido - y la gente está de acuerdo.

Parece que Mauricio Umansky convirtió a su compañera de baile —Emma Slater— en algo mucho más intenso.

La estrella de "Real Housewives" —que actualmente está separado de su esposa, Kyle Richards— llegó a un restaurante en Beverly Hills el domingo por la noche acompañado de Emma, con quien comparte pantalla en este momento en "Dancing With the Stars".

Parece que la pareja está llevando su conexión del salón de baile al mundo exterior. Terminaron la cena y se fueron de la mano.

No hay más signos de afecto a la vista por el momento, pero esto se siente como el comienzo de algo más.

Mauricio y Emma en realidad han estado saliendo mucho últimamente, se disfrazaron de Halloween la semana pasada y la verdad es que han sido  muy cercanos desde hace un buen tiempo.

Nuestras fuentes directas nos dicen que el apretón de manos fue estimulado por una profunda conversación que el dúo tuvo durante la cena. Probablemente discutieron acerca de su próximo baile en el episodio de esta semana. Nos dicen que el tema es "el año más importante de tu vida", y Mauricio se abrió a Emma acerca de por qué 1996 fue tan importante para él.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Mauricio en realidad le reveló mucho a Emma anoche sobre este tema. 1996 fue el año en que él y Kyle se casaron, fue despedido de la industria de la moda y que pivotó a los bienes raíces, y nos dicen que como resultado, se sentían mucho más conectados y más cerca que nunca.

En cuanto a si esto está floreciendo en un romance... las fuentes no nos pueden decir exactamente en que dirección avanza la situación.

Por supuesto, ha habido un montón de especulaciones sobre Mauricio y Kyle, cuyo matrimonio ha estado bajo la lupa este año en medio de la amistad de Kyle con Morgan Wade.

Kyle ha insistido durante mucho tiempo que son simplemente socios. Kyle está produciendo un documental sobre la vida de Morgan, pero algunos sugieren que un romance podría estar en marcha.

Mientras tanto, Mauricio y Kyle no se han separado de sus respectivas vidas. Se han ido de vacaciones juntos con el resto de su familia y han salido en varias ocasiones para reuniones de vacaciones y similares.

John Stamos claims he once caught a girlfriend of his in the '80s cheating on him with Tony Danza ... but the woman says John's got it all wrong.

Teri Copley, the ex-gf John's accused of an alleged affair, denies cheating on him ... she says they were already broken up when Stamos found her in bed with Danza.

The model/actress confirms part of John's story ... that he came over to her place to find her naked in bed next to a passed-out Tony ... but she told People she and John had already ended their relationship.

Teri told the outlet, "I wondered, 'What was John doing there?' because we had broken up. He just looked at me and shook his head, and walked away."

As we reported ... John reveals the alleged affair in his upcoming memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me," claiming he also peeked into Tony's Porsche, which was parked at Teri's place, and saw an autographed poster of her half-naked with a note that read ... "My Dear Tony, I'll love you forever. XO, Teri."

John said he was madly in love with Teri at the time ... but it sounds like she didn't feel the same way.

Taylor Swift's special handshake with new BFF Brittany Mahomes went viral during Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game ... but social media users were split on how they felt about it.

The pop star showed up in her now usual suite to cheer on her boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as his team destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers 31-17 at Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Of course, Brittany was right there beside Taylor to support her hubby, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

After Travis and Patrick joined forces to score a second quarter TD, Taylor and Brittany went totally nuts, putting their celebratory handshake on display for the world to see.

Video of the handshake made the rounds on social media -- prompting mixed reactions from the masses.

Some X users thought it was embarrassing, writing, "This is cringe af" or "This is more cringe for me."

Other people accused Taylor and Brittany of practicing the handshake before the game just to garner publicity.

One of them posted, "now this is publicity stunt who practices a handshake she literally just started going to games and chillin with the chiefs lol this wack."

Another X user bluntly stated, "Worst thing ever to happen to the NFL."

On the other hand, many people were loving the handshake and the close friendship that has sprouted between Taylor and Brittany.

Here's a sampling of the positive reactions from X users: "She's (Taylor's) I can't." "I'm so happy Taylor is gaining new friends." "Bestie already has handshake figured out with her new bestie." "Ok, they're besties." "It's peak girlhood I love it so much."

We'll just have to wait and see what the BFFs come up with next week.

El apretón de manos especial de Taylor Swift con su nueva mejor amiga Brittany Mahomes se hizo viral durante el partido del domingo de los Kansas City Chiefs. La gente en redes sociales estuvo dividida al respecto.

La estrella del pop se presentó en su ahora habitual suite para animar a su novio, Travis Kelce, cuyo equipo destruyó a Los Angeles Chargers 31-17 en el Estadio Arrowhead en KC.

Por supuesto, Brittany estaba allí al lado de Taylor para apoyar a su marido, el quarterback de los Chiefs Patrick Mahomes.

Después de que Travis y Patrick unieran fuerzas para anotar en el segundo cuarto, Taylor y Brittany se volvieron totalmente locas, poniendo su apretón de manos de celebración a la vista de todo el mundo.

El video del apretón de manos hizo circuló en redes sociales, provocando reacciones mixtas de las masas.

Algunos usuarios de X pensaron que era vergonzoso, escribiendo: "Esto es más cringe que la mier..." o "Esto sí es cringe".

Otras personas acusaron a Taylor y Brittany de practicar el apretón de manos antes del partido solo para ganar publicidad.

Uno de ellos publicó: "Este apretón de manos es un truco publicitario, ella literalmente acaba de empezar a ir a los juegos y ya se da atribuciones de fan apasionada".

Otro usuario de X afirmó sin rodeos: "Lo peor que le ha pasado a la NFL".

Por otro lado, a mucha gente le encantó el apretón de manos y la estrecha amistad que ha surgido entre Taylor y Brittany.

He aquí una muestra de las reacciones positivas de los usuarios de X: "Ella (Taylor) no puedo". "Estoy tan feliz de que Taylor tenga nuevos amigos". "TayTay ya tiene nuevo apretón de manos con su nueva bestie". "Ok, son mejores amigas." "Son como dos niñas, me encanta".

Tendremos que esperar hasta la próxima semana para ver a las nuevas amigas.
