Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin just stirred up a social media frenzy with a recent Instagram post. Hours after leading the Rebels to a Gator Bowl victory over Duke, Kiffin posted a photo of himself hugging his ex-wife, Layla, with a simple “Happy Birthday” message.
Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but it was his daughter Landry’s comment that really set the internet on fire. She wrote, “Hard launch,” which many interpreted as a hint that her parents might be rekindling their romance.
Kiffin, never one to shy away from a little attention, responded to the speculation with a “thinking face” emoji. He’s not confirming or denying anything, which just adds fuel to the fire.
The Kiffins have been divorced since 2016, but they’ve remained close and co-parented their children amicably. They’re a great example of how to maintain a healthy relationship even after a split.
This isn’t the first time Kiffin has sparked rumors about a possible reunion with his ex-wife. He recently attended his daughter Landry’s birthday and shared several photos on Instagram that featured Layla.
On the football field, Kiffin has been doing a fantastic job with the Rebels. They just capped off back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since 1959-60 with that Gator Bowl victory. It’ll be tough to maintain that success with several players heading to the NFL Draft, but Kiffin has proven he’s a master rebuilder.
Whether he’s making headlines with his personal life or his coaching prowess, Lane Kiffin always keeps things interesting. We’ll be keeping an eye on this situation and see if he makes any further “hard launches” in the future.
