Tiki Barber’s much younger girlfriend denies breaking up his marriage

By Amelia Robinson | Thursday, August 26, 2010, 11:39 AM

Tiki Barber’s lady love says she’s not the reason he broke up with his then-pregnant wife.

In a post on Crushable.com Traci Johnson says the ex-Giant and “Today” show-correspondent left his wife of 11 years before she started dating him.

Johnson, a 23-year-old former NBC intern, said Barber, 35, was a dear friend for three years and she had dated a ‘nutcase’ before beginning a relationship with him.

Here’s a little of what is said in the post “Memoir: Tiki Barber’s Girlfriend Traci Johnson Reveals The Truth Behind The Tabloid Stories:”

I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind.

I knew that I was never Tiki’s babysitter or that he “lavished” me with expensive gifts or snuck into my college dorm room (I lived on an all girl’s floor with a key swipe entrance … think how difficult it would be to sneak a 5′10, 200-pound, black man into that environment?).

Plain and simple, the truth was and still is that Tiki and I never crossed the line of being inappropriate while he was married and nor was our relationship inappropriate now that he wasn’t.

Four months after the scandal broke and Ginny gave birth to twins, Johnson says she and Barber have settled into a normal life.

“On an average night we find ourselves watching whatever we have rented from Netflix or enjoying an episode of “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman,” she wrote. “We stay up too late for any sane couple reading books in bed and we enjoy knowing that even if we are boring, we would both rather be bored with each other than doing something with someone else.”

Nice.

Yeah, gag me with a very large spoon.
