It turns out special forces costar Kayla Nicole And Cam Newton Wales crossed paths before their time (at least practically).

In April 2022, the quarterback, now 35, raised eyebrows for his comments about women during an appearance. "Million Dollars Worth of Game" Podcast.

“Now a woman, to me, is managing your own but knowing how to meet a man's needs. OK?" Newton said. "And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic, 'I'm a boss bitch, I'm this, I'm that.' No, baby! But you can't cook. You don't know when to be quiet. You don't know how to let a man lead."

Nicole, who was dating Travis Kelce At the time, (now known as X) took to Twitter for comment.

“The obsession with women being able to cook is really ridiculous. Because if it's your palate so superior to a Michelin star chef then bozo is. Pretty sure the average woman is capable of making edibles. How do you think he survived this far?” the influencer tweeted.

Nicole added in a second post: "It doesn't really matter if she can cook - it's about wanting to cook for your hungry hippo ass."

Nicole further addressed the situation via Instagram Live, which was captured by TMZ Sports: “I think it's stupid that we have to keep having the same tired conversation about the qualities that make a woman possess substance. This guy said you have to cook and be cool because that's what his mom did. Like a son, then go meet your mother."

The next day, Nicole clarified her statement.

“I have no 'beef' with anyone. I have beef with the idea that it reduces a woman's value from being put on a dinner plate,” she wrote. “This narrative was shared publicly on a podcast, it's important 2 publicly condemn it. Now if you'll excuse me, off to go order Postmate."

Although Newton did not address Nicholl directly, he claimed that he was unfairly "tested" at the time.

“You cannot expect so much from a person and give so little. … I should have said above what I said and mentioned that not only should a woman know when to be quiet, a man should also know when to be quiet,” Newton said in a YouTube video. "Whatever you need to be as a human being - male or female - you should be. And I think not going as deep as I should have cost me."

"I got a daughter," he continued. "When the day comes when my daughters look back and say, 'Damn, what did you mean by that,' I'm not going to panic and say, 'Well, that's just taken out of context.'

Newton has eight children, including three daughters, by several different women. Most recently, he and girlfriend Jasmine Brown Welcomed a baby girl in 2024.
