Former Giants Star Dumps Pregnant Wife for NBC Intern
Ex NFL star Tiki Barber has left his eight-months pregnant wife for former NBC intern Traci Johnson, reports the New York Post.
Barber, 35, who is now an NBC "Today" show correspondent, met Johnson, 23, while she was working for the network's headquarters at 30 Rock.
The footballer and his wife, Ginny, have been married 11 years, have two sons, 7 and 6, and are expecting twins next month. Ginny reportedly heard about the affair last year after the running back moved out of their home on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Tiki Barber released a statement on Tuesday announcing the split: "After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate," he said. "This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known."
