Tiki Barbers' wife of 11 years is 8 months pregnant with twins, but that didn't stop him from leaving her and their other two sons, ages 6 and 7, for a 23 year old blonde.
Ex-Giants superstar Tiki Barber has dumped his 8-months-pregnant wife, Ginny, for sexy former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson, sources told The Post last night.The football star-turned-"Today" show-correspondent left his wife of 11 years, Ginny, for the 23-year-old blonde, who also worked at 30 Rock, the sources said.
Ginny, who is expecting twins, found out about the relationship late last year, after the run-around running back moved out of their Upper East Side home.
Johnson, a model-thin bombshell, was photographed sitting next to Tiki last month at a Washington, DC, screening of a documentary on Senegal that he hosted for the Travel Channel. Sources believe Johnson also accompanied Tiki to Senegal for the filming late last year, when Ginny was three months pregnant.
The affair is particularly stunning in light of Barber's long-standing disdain for his philandering father.
"I don't give a [bleep] that the relationship didn't work," he said of his parents' split in a 2004 Post interview. "Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a lot of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that."
Barber's confidants were shocked.
"He was always the nice guy with a million-dollar smile," a Barber family friend told The Post.
"We were shocked to find out that he could walk out on his wife of 11 years while she's pregnant with twins. He was with this girl in Senegal while Ginny was three months pregnant.
"And we believe she was also with him in Vancouver while he was blogging about the Winter Olympics for Yahoo.com."
Barber, who is believed to have to have relocated to an Upper West Side bachelor paid, released a statement yesterday in response to a Page Six item announcing the split.
"After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate," Barber 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."
A Tiki Barber spokesman declined to comment.
Ginny is a former fashion publicist and full-time mom to the couple's two sons, A.J., 7, and Chason, 6. She, too, declined to comment.
But she's been known to tout her caretaking role for Tiki.
"I'm sort of a traditionalist where I don't mind taking care of him," she said in a 2006 interview.
Johnson can be seen posing with a smiling gal pal in a pic on her MySpace page. The two are wearing red short shorts and Giants jerseys emblazoned with Barber's No. 21.
Tiki and Ginny began dating 16 years ago when both were students at the University of Virginia.
Barber, who turns 35 today, was hired by NBC just after he retired in 2007 -- when sources say he first met Johnson, who was working there as an intern.
In his 10-year NFL career, Barber set nearly every career offensive record for the Giants, and made three Pro Bowls.
His end run on Ginny with the much younger Johnson runs counter to the all-American Barber persona that fans and TV viewers know.
During Giants games, Tiki used to blow a kiss to Ginny in the stands every time he scored.
In his 2007 memoir, "Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond," Barber described the example he wanted to set for his kids.
"I want to be an honorable man, because that's what I want them both to be," he wrote, noting, "My family is everything to me."

I never liked this pompous asshole.
I bet their kids have a mouth full of big teeth!!! An Asian woman and Tiki big ass mouth!
If this is true, I hope the 23 year old takes him for everything he's got after his wife gets her alimony and child support for 4 children and all other assets (life insurance, summer homes, cars, future earnings, etc). 'Hey brother can YOU spare a dime'?
What an asshole. I bet the dumb ass JIGGABOO BALLER believes that 'Becky" really loves him for who he is. SMDH.
He really should have read David Straiharn's book,
The Ugly Side of Becky: HO Just Wants to Get Paid
Oh, well, now, how are your own sons going to feel about you, Little MR. Tiki man??? Well, they feel the same disguist that your felt for your father's betrayal of trust??? Just food for thought?
Karma is a bitch, and he will find that out sooner or later. Good luck with Barbie(O:

PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP THESE DAYS GETTING MARRIED IS OVER RATED I USED TO THINK THAT LOVE AND COMMITTMENT WAS EVERYTHING. NOW I AM BEGINNING TO FEEL OTHER WISE. LOOK AT ALL THESE CHEATING LYING ASS BASTARD HUBANDS. THE MEN WHO HAVE MONEY ARE ALWAYS LEAVING THEIR WIFES FOR CHEATING ON THEM WTF?

JERK, HE DID HIS WIFE SO WRONG THAT HE WILL BE DESERVING A PAY BACK WATCH YOU WILL SEE GOD DONT LIKE UGLY!
I really hate to say it but I will never, NEVER get married. I do not want any children either so I was never really pressed for marriage in the first place, but at one time I did at least entertain the idea. But nope!
@BellaNV...
I was just saying the EXACT SAME THING today. There is no way in the F*CK any man can convince me now to marry him. The trend is marry a woman, fuck around and forget about her feelings and the family structure that's so important to YOUR CHILDREN! Wow. This same thing happened to a friend of mine. Husband decided to leave about a month before she gave birth. He stops by now twice a week to see his kids and she gets to deal w/ the heartbreak and her kids acting out because daddy's no longer there. Hopefully all women stop this 1940s fantasy bullshit about settling down and getting married. That's SO last century!
So many of these niggaz don't want a woman of colour and that goes for latinas, asians and any female that is not white. They want muffie and becky sue with their non pigmented asses. They do whatever it takes to get a black man because they got an agenda and his dumb dick is too stupid to see it. They leave their children, wives and devoted partners for a piece of no good slutty gold diggin behind and slop up the white mans leftovers that he don't even want and think they got somethin. His wife stood by him all those years and had his kids. I feel sorry for his family. Black men are destroying themselves and want to blame black women for their choices. GTFOH!!
That white broad is sexy. Good for Tiki
