Layla Kiffin was married to Lane Kiffin for over a decade before the pair’s separation in 2016. The American football coach needs no reintroduction, but who is the former wife of the ex-quarterback turned trainer?

Not much is known about Layla Kiffin except that she was once married to Lane Kiffin, the current coach of the Ole Miss Rebels football team, representing the University of Mississippi in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Lane’s football career was short-lived, and he segued into coaching in 1997, serving as a student assistant coach at Fresno State under Pat Hill for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Varied roles at Colorado State, Jacksonville Jaguars and USC followed before Kiffin's first position as head coach at Oakland Raiders in 2007.

That decision to appoint Lane Kiffin in January 2007 made the then-31-year-old the Raiders’ youngest lead trainer, underscoring his coaching talent.

Following further head coach roles at Tennessee, USC and Florida Atlantic, Lane was appointed in the same capacity at Ole Miss in 2020, a position he still holds at the time of writing.

Odell Becham’s net worth has grown over the past few years as his stock rose in the National Football League (NFL). His earnings on and off the pitch are some of the highest in the league, and this is a result of his performances. Since joining the NFL, Beckham has become one of the most reliable players. However, his lavish lifestyle and conduct have made him a subject of media scrutiny.

Even if Thomas’ 11-year pro career was unfortunately stop-start due to injury issues and never being a first-choice QB at several teams, the 14th pick in round one of the 1972 NFL Draft had decent-to-good numbers.

After retiring, Thomas took on coaching roles with the Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks in the 1990s — years after his induction into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 1985 — working with the Gators quarterbacks from 1990 to 1994 before an assistant position in South Carolina from 1995 to 1997.

The former QB got into trouble for gun and drug possession charges in 2008 and spent some time in rehab a year later.

He passed away on August 1, 2017.

Is Layla Kiffin married?

No. At the time of writing, Layla Kiffin is not married, and she is not presently dating.

She was married once to Lane Kiffin — for 12 years until their 2016 divorce. According to multiple reports, the pair met in 1999 through Layla’s father, John Reaves, and dated for several years until their private wedding in 2004.

However, their relationship hit the rocks in the 2010s, with the couple announcing their divorce in February 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. That news came as no surprise, with reports suggesting Lane was involved in an extramarital affair with Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen and another mystery woman.

Even if these infidelity rumours remained unverified, the tension they caused in their marriage meant divorce was the anticipated outcome.

“After a lot of careful thought and consideration, Layla and I have mutually decided to divorce,” Lane Kiffin told Fox Sports in 2016.

"We are fully committed to our kids’ future being our No. 1 priority. We will maintain an amicable relationship with respect for each other as we raise these three wonderful children. We will have no further comments and appreciate respect for our family's privacy.”

Layla reportedly received about 34.5% of her ex-partner's total assets as a divorce settlement, at the time almost leaving him in financial ruin.

The ex-couple had three children together.
