There’s a new name turning heads on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and it’s not just because of her dazzling smile or undeniable charm. Meet Kayla Nicole Brown—a 33-year-old influencer, fitness entrepreneur, and former journalist who’s proving she’s more than just a pretty face.
This isn’t your average reality TV fluff. It’s brutal, relentless, and downright punishing. And Kayla? She’s ready to take it all on.
Special Forces, the American spin on a hardcore British series, drops celebs, athletes, and influencers into a hellscape of physical challenges inspired by the grueling U.S. Special Forces selection course. Think sweat, tears, and maybe a little blood.
This season’s lineup is stacked with names like Disney darling Christy Carlson Romano, soccer legend Landon Donovan, and NFL superstar Cam Newton. But let’s be honest—Kayla’s the wild card we didn’t see coming. Here’s why she’s worth watching.
Brains to Back the Beauty
Kayla’s not just another influencer hawking protein shakes and sunset selfies. She’s got credentials, baby. A proud Pepperdine University alum, Kayla snagged her bachelor’s in broadcast journalism back in 2013. Malibu sunsets and late-night cramming—sounds about right.
But she didn’t just coast through college. In her own words, “Hosting is where my heart is.” That’s not just lip service. Her Instagram’s a vault of her past work, from red carpets to high-profile interviews. She’s got the chops, and she’s not afraid to remind the world.
A High-Profile Romance with NFL Star Travis Kelce
If you think Kayla looks familiar, you might recognize her from the tabloids. She was front and center in the pop culture whirlwind that is Travis Kelce’s love life. That’s right—the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and current Taylor Swift beau once had eyes only for Kayla.
The two linked up in 2017 after an Insta courtship worthy of a rom-com script. Kelce liked a few posts, Kayla slid into his DMs, and the rest was a rollercoaster of red carpets and PDA-packed vacations. They called it quits in 2022 after years of on-again, off-again romance, with rumors swirling about financial drama. Kelce clapped back hard on that one, but who cares? Kayla’s moved on, and so have we.
From Lakers TV to Will Ferrell: Kayla’s Media Hustle
Before she was breaking a sweat on Special Forces, Kayla was breaking news—and she wasn’t just phoning it in. She cut her teeth as a journalist and host, covering everything from L.A. movie premieres to courtside action with the Lakers. That’s right; she was the face of Lakers TV, hyping fans at the Staples Center (RIP, Crypto.com Arena).
Kayla’s hosting reel is a highlight reel of Hollywood cool. Interviews with comedy legends like Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler? Check. Red carpet vibes? Double check. She wasn’t just reporting the culture—she was the culture.
Founder, CEO, Fitness Queen
Because being a media powerhouse wasn’t enough, Kayla flipped the script and launched her own fitness brand, Tribe Therepē. This isn’t some influencer cash grab—it’s legit. Her line of workout gear and fitness programs caters to everyone from couch-to-5K newbies to gym rats chasing their next PR.
Built in partnership with top-tier trainers in Los Angeles, Tribe Therepē is Kayla’s passion project. And it’s paying off. She’s teamed up with heavy hitters like Alo, Fabletics, and I Am Athlete to bring her vision to life. For Kayla, fitness isn’t just a lifestyle—it’s a mission.
YouTube Hustler Turned Fitness Guru
Kayla’s YouTube game has evolved over the years. While her OG vlog content has mysteriously vanished, she’s pivoted to full-on fitness mogul. These days, her channel is all about Tribe Therepē. Think workout tutorials, fitness tips, and a behind-the-scenes look at the grind that fuels her hustle.
Her content isn’t just about selling leggings or hyping workouts—it’s about inspiring her audience to level up. Whether she’s crushing burpees or designing her next drop, Kayla’s message is clear: show up, work hard, and make no apologies.
Why Kayla’s the One to Watch: Kayla Nicole Brown isn’t just another influencer trying to extend her 15 minutes. She’s a grinder, a hustler, and a woman who knows how to command attention—on and off the screen. Whether she’s pushing her limits on Special Forces or launching her next big project, she’s got that rare mix of charm, grit, and unapologetic ambition.
So keep your eyes on Kayla. She’s not just surviving the world’s toughest test—she’s thriving in it. And if she can handle this, what can’t she do?
