In the post, the sports journalist shared a video of herself doing an intense glute and leg workout, captioned,“The goal? A back that says stop f–king playing with me,” set to Gunna's track“Made for This S–t.”

Kayla, 33, dated Kelce from 2017 to 2022. Rumours of his relationship with Swift began circulating by mid-2023. Since then, Kayla has consistently posted content focused on joy, self-growth, and at times, seemingly subtle digs at the new couple, according to a report by Daily Mail.

A source told the Daily Mail that Joe Alwyn“has not reached out, nor will he” to congratulate ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift on her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. While the insider said Alwyn“genuinely hopes she is in a good place and doing well,” they emphasised that the actor feels there's no reason to initiate contact, adding that Swift likely“wouldn't want to hear from him anyway.”
