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.

Sean McVay's officially a new father ... and as the head coach expected, his son was NOT born on a gameday!!!

The Rams announced baby McVay's birth came on Wednesday afternoon ... using a hilarious tweet to reveal that McVay's wife, Veronika Khomyn, delivered little Jordan John McVay successfully.

"LA Rams Transactions," the message on X read, "• Delivered Jordan John McVay."

The birth comes just a few days after the 37-year-old coach told reporters that his son will not force him to miss a game since the little tyke already knows better than to mess up Sunday football.

"My wife's doing great," McVay said at the time. "I think there was a lot made about me missing a game -- I'm not gonna miss a game. My son knows better than to come during a game."

McVay met Khomyn in Washington D.C. when he was an assistant coach with the Commanders -- and the two officially went public with their relationship in 2016.

In 2019, the couple announced their engagement ... and now, their family has grown by one!!

Myles Garrett is going all-in on The Land -- the Cleveland Browns superstar just became a part owner of the Cavaliers!!

The team just made the big announcement on Wednesday ... saying the 27-year-old dominant defensive end will also serve as an ambassador for the organization.

"As a leader on and off the field, Myles has become a Cleveland icon and shares in our organization's commitment to being a transformative force for good across the region," Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said.

"We are honored to welcome this long-time friend of the team as our new partner and investor. Myles’ passion and commitment to the city he loves will allow us to reach new communities and continue to build the successful future of this franchise."

Garrett -- who's in the middle of a $125 million deal -- has been building his portfolio lately ... also investing in a Major League Pickleball team earlier this year.

The 2017 No. 1 overall pick has played in Cleveland his entire career ... racking up four Pro Bowls and two First-Team All-Pro selections.

He's also gotten pretty tight with the Cavs during his time in northeast Ohio ... even showing off his crazy dunking skills while hanging out with the squad at Summer League this past offseason.

"I have admired the Cavaliers organization’s hard work, tenacity and dedication to the community since my early days in Cleveland,” Garrett said. "To have the opportunity to join this impressive and purpose-filled franchise, under Dan’s leadership, is truly a dream come true."

The news comes just hours before the Cavs kick off their 2023-24 season against the Brooklyn Nets ... and the team will certainly hope Myles' dominance rubs off on Donovan Mitchell and Co.

Chandler Jones pasó cerca de 30 minutos con los oficiales durante su arresto en septiembre y de acuerdo a un nuevo video policial obtenido por TMZ Sports, estuvo divagando con ellos e hizo peticiones extrañas durante casi toda su interacción.

De acuerdo a los documentos del Departamento Policial Metropolitano de Las Vegas, los oficiales se enfrentaron con la ex estrella de los Raiders inicialmente fuera de la casa de su ex, después de que dijeran que estaba violando una orden de protección temporal.

En imágenes capturadas en una de las cámaras del cuerpo policial se pueden ver las extrañas peticiones que comenzó a hacer Jones desde el interior de su Mercedes.

"Quiero que me agarren y me saquen", dijo. "Por favor."

Luego pidió que uno de los agentes le pusiera su teléfono en el bolsillo del otro policía, antes de intentar explicar por qué estaba estacionado al frente de la casa de su ex.

"Lo siento por esto", dijo. "La razón por la que estoy aquí es porque estaba sacando su basura y dejando el contenedor en el asiento trasero. Ningún problema".

Jones comenzó entonces a pedir más favores a los policías. Primero quería que le quitaran el sombrero. Luego preguntó si podía sentarse en el suelo, además de intentar que un agente le rascara la nariz y le subiera la camisa.

Al final, los policías dijeron que iban a tener que llevarlo a la cárcel por violar una orden de restricción, pero cuando intentaron meterlo en un carro patrulla, Jones tuvo más problemas.

Juró que no cabía en el vehículo, diciendo: "Mírame. Mido 1,90 m. Soy un atleta profesional, hermano. Tengo 112 sacks... juego para los Raiders".

Más tarde, se quejó de que su espalda estaba acalambrada y cuando los oficiales le dijeron que podía tomar agua en la cárcel les preguntó: "¿Qué tipo de agua tienen ustedes en el condado? ¿Es Dasani o Aquafina?".

Jones pidió entonces otra extraña solicitud: si podían darle las llaves de su carro. Unos minutos después se puso claramente nervioso.

"Señor, ¿puede llevarme a la cárcel, señor?", dijo. "Porque haré más ruido y haré que venga un sheriff. Lléveme a la cárcel ahora o haré ruidos más fuertes".

"¡Señor!", gritó entonces. "¡Dios mío! ¡Necesito ayuda! ¡Ayuda! ¡Dale la llave!"

Mientras Jones volvía al coche patrulla, le dijo a un policía: "No lo demandaré", antes de añadir: "Soy millonario".

Jones fue finalmente fichado por dos cargos separados de violación de una orden de protección temporal de violencia doméstica, antes de ser puesto en libertad.

De acuerdo con los documentos policiales, sin embargo, Jones fue detenido una vez más a principios de octubre, pocos días después de salir de la cárcel. Esto, luego de violar nuevamente una orden de protección temporal tras enviarle mensajes de Instagram a su ex.

Russell Wilson continues to remind everyone he's madly in love with Ciara ... sharing a mushy post on his Instagram page on Wednesday in honor of her 38th birthday.

The Denver Broncos quarterback threw up several photos of his singer/dancer wife ... all while using her latest hit song with Chris Brown, "How We Roll," as background music.

The pics showed the former Super Bowl champ with Ciara at football practices, on vacations, date nights and more.

"Happy Birthday to my Queen, @ciara ❤️," the 34-year-old signal caller wrote. "You truly are Heaven sent, the perfect mother to our children, and God's blessing to me as we get to do life together as Husband & Wife."

"We are all truly BLESSED!! I'm so grateful that God put you into my life and we've been able to create an amazing (growing) family."

Wilson married Cici in 2016 and the family of five moved to Denver when the Seahawks traded the 9-time Pro Bowler to the Broncos last year. The two announced in August they're expecting a third baby together ... something Wilson begged her for on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last year.

He's also a proud stepfather to Ciara's first son, Future Zahir.

"God has so much in store for you this year of life and I can’t wait to see how much good will come from your presence and joy!!!" Wilson said.

"I Thank Jesus for you every day! I Love You Mrs. Wilson."

Chandler Jones spent about 30 minutes with officers during his September arrest ... and new police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows he rambled and made bizarre requests throughout nearly the entire duration of their interaction.

According to police documents, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. officers initially confronted the former Raiders star outside of his ex's house ... after they said he was in violation of a temporary protection order.

In footage captured on one of the responding officer's body cameras ... you can see almost immediately, Jones began making strange requests from inside his Mercedes.

"I want you to grab me and take me out," he said. "Please."

He then asked to have one of the officers put his phone in the other cop's pocket ... before he tried to explain why he was parked out front of his ex's house.

"I'm sorry about this," he said. "The reason why I'm here is because I was taking out her trash, and I was just dropping off the dumpster in the backseat. No problem."

Jones then began asking for more favors from the cops. First, he wanted them to take off his hat. Then he asked if he could sit on the ground -- before he tried to get an officer to itch his nose and pull up his shirt.

Eventually, cops told him they were going to have to take him to jail for violating a TPO -- but when they tried to get him into a squad car, Jones had more issues.

He swore he couldn't fit in the ride, saying, "Look at me. I'm 6'5. I'm a professional athlete, bro. I have 112 sacks -- I play for the Raiders."

Later, he complained that his back was cramping ... and when officers said he could get water at the jail, he asked, "What kind of water do you guys have at the county? Is it Dasani or is it Aquafina?"

Jones then asked the cops for yet another request, seeing if they could give him the keys to his car. A few minutes later, he clearly became agitated.

"Sir, can you take me to jail, sir?" he said. "Because I'll make louder noises, and make a sheriff come out here. Take me to jail now, or I'll make louder noises."

"Sir!" he then yelled. "Oh my God! I need help! Help! Give him the key!"

As Jones piled back into the squad car, he then told a cop, "I will not sue you," before later adding, "I'm a millionaire."

Jones was eventually booked on two separate charges of violating a domestic violence temporary protection order ... before he was released.

According to police documents, though, Jones was arrested once more in early October just days after he got out of jail ... after cops said he violated a TPO again by sending Instagram messages to his ex.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann have finally listed their house, and a new court order hopes to keep the peace while they're still under the same roof ... giving Kim exclusive use of the basement/nanny suite and Kroy the primary bedroom.

New court docs, obtained by TMZ, lay out the living arrangements, stating, "Neither party shall enter the other party’s individually awarded space in the marital residence without permission." The docs also state they'll share common areas like the kitchen and living room.

What's more ... in an effort to protect the couple's 4 young kids, it's ordered both Kim and Kroy act civilly towards one another, further stating, "Neither parent shall disparage the other parent in the presence of or earshot of the minor children."

The documents also state neither parent can eavesdrop while the other has time with the kids ... and the kids can't be used as messengers from one parent to the other.

While the order may sound drastic, it's certainly necessary as things in the Zolciak/Biermann household have been anything but cordial since the couple filed for divorce.

TMZ broke the story, during one instance where cops were called, Kim accused Kroy of locking her out of their primary bedroom -- and refused to open the door, even for officers.

BTW ... the new arrangement officially gives the green light on the sale of the couple's Georgia mansion. We were first to report when the home hit the market for $6 million ... money that will certainly go toward the couple's massive debts.

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.

Chris Long says "Tush Push" play haters need to kick rocks ... telling TMZ Sports if teams have such a problem with it, they should simply learn how to stop it.

The "Brotherly Shove" has become one of the most polarizing issues in the NFL this year ... after the Philadelphia Eagles have found a way to turn the ugly QB sneak into a first-down-making machine.

Some have argued it's unfair, while others have said it's so convoluted, boring, and even dangerous -- the NFL needs to ban it.

But Long -- who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2018 -- said the league should do no such thing ... explaining he believes the play's detractors are just envious of the Birds.

"The Eagles running it looks totally different than the Niners running it or some other team," the 2008 first-round pick said. "And I think people are just mad at Philly. No one likes us, we don't care."

Long tells us teams shouldn't look to Roger Goodell to fix their problems with the play ... and instead, they should just "draft bigger guys." Or, better yet, he said just avoid third- and fourth-down-and-short plays against Philly altogether!!!

The Detroit Lions just released Marvin Jones Jr. ... shortly after the receiver announced he was stepping away from the team to focus on "personal family matters."

The 33-year-old posted a statement on Instagram Tuesday afternoon ... days after Jones Jr. failed to travel with the Lions to the Ravens game in Baltimore.

"To be brief, I am stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters," Jones Jr. said. "Although this was no easy decision, I cannot be the person/player that I need to be for this team as well as tend to my family from afar."

"This organization has been amazing showing love and support for myself and my family over the years and this time is no different."

Shortly after, the Lions released their own statement announcing the roster move online, stating Jones Jr. was released.

Despite being thoroughly dominated by the Ravens on Sunday, the 5-2 Lions are currently leading the NFC North ... and although Jones Jr. will no longer be on the field, he's vowed to continue supporting his squad.

New Orleans Saints superstar Chris Olave seemed to be looking for a cop to cut him some slack during his arrest on Monday by name-dropping his NFL employer ... but police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows law enforcement very clearly did not care.

The footage was captured on a Kenner Police Dept. officer's body camera at around 9 PM in Louisiana ... after cops claimed they clocked Olave going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in his Dodge Charger.

In the footage, you can see just after they pulled Olave over ... he seemed to show remorse for the way he was driving -- saying, "That's on me. I was just trying to get home."

But, seconds later, after a cop told him he was being put under arrest over it all ... he appeared to try to get some leeway by telling the officer his occupation.

"My bad, dawg," Olave said ... before adding, "I play for the Saints, man."

The officer, though, obviously didn't find that relevant at all ... responding, "And?"

Olave then handed over some of his possessions to cops so they could transfer them to his dad ... before he was hauled off to jail.

A Kenner Police Dept. spokesperson said Tuesday that Olave was booked on a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle ... before he was released at 11:30 PM.

Police noted it was the second recent speeding ticket for Olave, who was busted for allegedly doing 54 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in August.

The Saints told media members Monday they were aware of the situation, but did not have a comment. Olave's brother, meanwhile, wrote on his X page following the incident, "Bro was on the way back to the crib from CVS... aint nun serious."

12:55 PM PT -- Court records show Justyn Ross is facing two charges following his arrest -- domestic battery with no priors as well as criminal damage of less than $1,000.

He is, however, scheduled to be released later Tuesday on $2,500 bond after he appeared in court via Zoom and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He's due back in court for another hearing in the case in early December.

Police also released Ross' mug shot to TMZ Sports just minutes ago.

10:02 AM PT -- According to dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ Sports, the alleged victim told a 911 operator Ross was "dragging her through the house and has torn up the house."

The woman -- who called from a neighbor's phone after the NFLer allegedly broke her cell -- noted Ross had a firearm in the residence, but did not have it on him at the time.

NFL wide receiver Justyn Ross -- one of Patrick Mahomes' targets on the Chiefs -- was arrested in Kansas on Monday, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Jail records show the 23-year-old was booked on a charge of criminal damage of greater than $25,000 ... and as of Tuesday morning, he remained in custody.

Court records show he's due to face a judge later Tuesday afternoon.

Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, told media outlets Monday they were aware of the arrest, but had no comment on it.

Ross joined Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2022 -- though he did not play in his rookie season due to injuries. This year, he's logged time in all of the Chiefs' seven games -- recording three catches for 34 yards.

New Orleans Saints superstar Chris Olave was arrested on Monday, TMZ Sports has confirmed, after he allegedly drove like a maniac on a street in Louisiana.

According to the Kenner Police Dept., the 23-year-old wide receiver was thrown behind bars after 9 PM. ... and released at 11:30 PM.

A spokesperson for the Kenner Police Dept. said in a statement ... Olave was booked on a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle after officers say he was going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in a mixed business/residential area where citizens had complained of people speeding.

In his Dodge Charger, Olave was allegedly "recklessly maneuvering between lanes and around other drivers on the roadway" in addition to traveling at a high rate of speed, according to cops.

Chris' brother, Josh Olave, appeared to comment on the incident in a tweet late Monday night ... writing, "Bro was on the way back to the crib from CVS... aint nun serious."

Chris and the Saints did not play over the weekend after they lost to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football last week. They're slated to take on the Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

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.
