Over the past couple of years, Lane Kiffin has made the Ole Miss Rebels team his whole world. So much so that his favorite hobby became “collecting quarterbacks.” Well, it’s true that he did spend quality time with his first love. That’s his three children, daughters Landry and Presley, and son Knox. With them, Kiffin often went on fishing sprees. However, there still remained a lingering void in his life. The reason? His marital life had hit sour notes with his wife, Layla. But thank god! The couple gave love a second chance and have ironed out all the differences. And the end result? Well, Kiffin has gone back to his teenage days. All lovestruck! His IG stories are mostly about love, as the HC dropped subtle hints on how the universe planned on making him meet his soulmate. Already, he had confirmed a patch-up with a ‘ring’ post.
The couple met when they were quite young. Being the daughter of the legendary NFL quarterback John Reaves, Layla could find herself a role in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Maybe the universe had its sweet plans. That’s because back then, Kiffin’s father, Monte Kiffin, served as Tampa Bay’s defensive coordinator. So, it was obvious for Kiffin to be around the Bucs very frequently. During that time, he and Layla crossed paths, and it did not take them long to realize that there was a spark between the two. The couple soon took things forward to dating shortly after meeting in 1999. The next five years were more like a fairytale dream. Post which they sealed their love with an ‘I do,’ tying the knot in 2004. Kiffin and Layla were then married for the next 12 years. However, their fairy tale romance was short-lived.
On February 28, 2016, the couple thought of ending their marriage with a divorce. As a reason behind their parting ways, they cited irreconcilable differences. But maybe Kiffin and Layla were destined to be together, as they are a happy couple again. And for that, is the Ole Miss HC thankful? Absolutely! His IG stories capture how he feels like a high school lover madly in love with his sweetheart. On April 10, the father of three posted an IG story resharing TextAlchemy’s post. It read, “I genuinely fell for someone when I wasn’t searching for love, I was searching for peace. I was searching for myself and found a friend, who became the love of my life. Sometimes you need to focus on growing yourself and you run into what’s destined for you.” Well, Kiffin did not just leave at that.
He ensured his own words did the talking. For the caption, he was thrilled to share that he had been through all these feels. That quintessential feeling of butterflies in the stomach. Kiffin adhered to just three words and wrote, “This really happened!!!” When he married Layla, he was serving as an assistant coach and a recruiting coordinator for the USC Trojans. As he mentions that he was desperately in search of peace, he hints at how he was going through a rough patch in the Trojans. That’s when Layla came off as a breath of fresh air, giving him a purpose to see life through a colorful lens. As he found his soulmate by himself in his dark times, how could he leave her hand now that the storm is over?
Couple goals reloaded for Lane Kiffin and Layla
Turns out that the universe has heard Kiffin’s fans’ wishes. All this time, they have been manifesting a patch-up. They started to get hints at the end of the last year when Layla took a major step by relocating to Oxford with their son. Later on, Landry, being very active on social media, shared snaps from her 20th birthday bash. The pictures captured the Kiffin couple in a happy mood. Recently, it was obvious that the Ole Miss HC has been obsessed with his lady love.
The couple started working toward their goals together. For instance, they went to their gym sessions together. On one such occasion, Kiffin captured 50-year-old Layla running on the treadmill, trying to match the pace of an 11-year-old boy. Fans became sure when the Ole Miss HC posted her picture as she checked out their “home” at Ole Miss while slaying some sequined jeans. The caption read, “@olemissfb.” Finally, the day came when Kiffin said it out loud.
They are starting things afresh, going for dates like teenage couples. And what better date spot than a concert? Absolute couple goals! On March 4, Lane Kiffin made an IG post that is surely going to make you go ‘Awww.’ The picture showed the Ole Miss HC making a heart sign with his hands while Layla playfully crossed her fingers at the back. Wait! The main character here is the shiny love band ring on her French-manicured nails. If you think that’s all, brace yourselves for the caption. Madly in love, Lane Kiffin wrote, “Ride or die .” Love isn’t the only thing Lane Kiffin’s given a second shot—after four years alcohol-free, the Ole Miss coach is rewriting his playbook for life.
