Kayla Nicole is pulling back the curtain on a topic that’s often oversimplified, offering an honest look at why freezing eggs isn’t as straightforward as many make it out to be.
The media personality and fitness influencer, who previously dated Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, opened up during a recent appearance on the Pour Minds podcast with hosts Lex P and Drea Nicole. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into a deeper discussion about the financial and emotional realities tied to fertility preservation.

Nicole made it clear that while egg freezing is frequently framed as an empowering, practical option for women, the long-term costs are rarely part of the headline. “Something that is not talked about enough is the financial commitment that you have to make,” she said. “You have to pay for them eggs to stay frozen.”
That comment sparked laughter from Lex P, who joked about the ongoing storage fees as if the eggs were renting space. The humor kept the conversation light, but Nicole used the moment to underline a serious point: freezing eggs isn’t a one-time expense, and it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
She explained that the suggestion is often thrown out casually, without acknowledging the everyday financial pressures many women already juggle. “Everybody's like, well, just freeze your eggs,” Nicole said. “It's like, what do you mean? I got to pay rent. I have a car now. I have health insurance. I have dental insurance.”
Beyond the money, Nicole also spoke about the emotional and spiritual side of the decision. For her, it’s not just about medical timing, but about feeling aligned with where she is in life. She shared that she often looks to faith for clarity, questioning whether now is truly the right moment to take that step.

“Sometimes my conversation with God is like, I need you to give me a sign that you want me to freeze these eggs right now,” she said. Nicole added that she’s come to terms with the possibility that motherhood may not follow a conventional timeline — and that acceptance, too, can be empowering. While she admitted the idea of freezing eggs “sounds sexy,” she emphasized that it has to feel right, not forced.
