Although there are people who have become famous through what they have done, others have become popular through their association with other personalities. It is by association, by her marriage to American football coach Lane Kiffin, that Layla Kiffin is known. That said, even after the marriage broke down, Layla managed to keep a lot of people interested. Here’s everything you need to know about her.

Who is Layla Kiffin? Biography

Layla Kiffin was born in 1976 in the United States, but the exact place of her birth is unknown. She is the daughter of former American quarterback John Reaves who spent 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He also spent three seasons in the United States Football League (USFL). Layla’s father played for different teams including the Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After the end of his football career, he became a coach.

Layla was raised with her brother David Reaves and another sibling by their father after being separated from their mother early in his football career. At the time, John Reaves had many personal battles to fight, including the divorce of his wife, as well as the death of his mother and stepfather. This led him to drug problems. Nevertheless, he still managed to raise his three children.

Raised in different parts of Florida, notably in Gainesville where she spent 2 years, Layla Kiffin attended Buchholz High School. From there she moved to the University of Florida in 1992 and graduated in 1996. Interestingly, it was the same university that both her parents graduated from and her father played for the institution as an American quarterback.

Marriage and Divorce

After graduating from the UFL, Layla worked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At the time, Lane Kiffin’s father was the defensive coordinator for the Buccaneers. It was in 1999 that Lane Kiffin visited his father and saw Layla. Almost immediately, the pair began a relationship that would culminate in a short-lived engagement and then the altar in 2004.

At the time, Lane Kiffin was a graduate assistant at Colorado State. Lane Monte Kiffin was born on May 9, 1975. An American football coach, Lane worked as an offensive coordinator for the University of Alabama and USC Trojans football at different times. He was also the head coach of the University of Tennessee Volunteers Oakland Raiders. Kiffin is currently the head coach of Florida Atlantic University and was, at one point, the NFL’s youngest head coach in recent history.

Layla and Lane Kiffin’s marriage has three children; Landry (born in 2005), Pressley, born in 2007 and his son, Monte Knox Kiffin, born in 2009.

The two remained together until March 2016, when Layla Kiffin filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. In a statement from Lane Kiffin, he and Layla had agreed to divorce, although they will still commit to raising their children, which he described as their top priority.

Prior to the split, Lane found himself in a rather messy affair where the man was allegedly involved in an affair with an unknown lady from Alabama. Apart from that, there was also another unverified rumor like the other that he also had an affair with Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban. Nick was the head coach, while Lane was the Alabama Crimson Tide’s offensive football coordinator. While the rumors haven’t been publicly backed up with evidence, it’s unclear if it had anything to do with the divorce.

Where is Layla Kiffin now?

Following the divorce, Lane Kiffin revealed that his ex-wife received 34.5% of his earnings. More so, although she requested joint custody of their three children, Layla Kiffin also requested and obtained physical custody of all the children while her husband was only allowed to visit them.

While it’s unclear if she works, it’s reported that Layla and the three children now live in a rented house in Manhattan Beach, Calif., that costs $10,000 a month. It’s while her ex-husband is in Florida.
