Today Show correspondent and former NFL star Tiki Barber announced earlier this week that he and his wife Ginny would be splitting after 11 years of marriage. The couple has two sons together, and they are also expecting twins this summer. Although it's unfortunate, the news would not garner much attention if it weren't for one other factor: A 23-year-old by the name of Traci Lynn Johnson. The New York Post reported that Johnson is a former NBC intern who has been carrying on an affair with Barber since 2007. Even worse, it's his relationship with the 23-year-old blonde that has convinced him to leave his wife of 11 years.
According to the Post's article, Johnson reportedly accompanied Tiki on numerous business trips, including one that took them to the African nation of Senegal where he was filming a documentary late last year. At the time his wife would have been 3 months pregnant. In addition sources say Tiki's mistress was also with him this past February when he attended the winter Olympics in Vancouver. Prior to these incidents, Star magazine says that in 2008 the former NFLer visited the upstate New York campus of Traci's small Catholic college, Mount Saint Mary, and addressed students about his career. A school spokesperson confirmed his visit, which included a steak dinner that was held for him that night. Traci Johnson was at his side during the event.
How selfish this man must be... leaving your pregnant wife for a 23 year old!! And to think he resented his own father's philandering to the point he spoke openly about it.
Guess Tiki Barber can be added to Hwood's growing list of cheating scumbags.
