Tiki Barber and Wife Traci Lynn Johnson Welcome Baby Girl
Tiki Barber and wife Traci Lynn Johnson welcomed their daughter Brooklyn.
According to Us Weekly, the baby girl was born on Friday, Dec. 27. This is the fifth child for the former football star, who has four children with ex-wife Ginny Cha. This is the first child for Johnson.
The couple was very controversial after the former New York Giants running back left his wife of 11 years while she was still pregnant with their twins. Barbers and Johnson allegedly began an affair when they met at NBC. Barbers was an on-air correspondent at NBC while Johnson was an intern at The Today Show at the time of the controversy. Both of them denied the rumors and stated that they were only friends when Barber was married to Cha.
"We were only friends when I was still married. I was separated, out of my house, so it wasn't until then that we took things to the next level," Barber said to Entertainment Tonight.
The alleged affair led to a bitter divorce battle between Barber and Cha. Cha even barred him from the delivery room when she gave birth to their twins in 2010. In the same year, Barber's contract with NBC was not renewed.
At the time of his dismissal, he said, "I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves me and got me through those bad times."
After the divorce was finalized, Barber and Johnson went public with their romance. They were married in 2012.
