He was running around town with his young mistress -- while his pregnant wife spent a week in the hospital -- and yesterday, Tiki Barber got tackled.
The ex-Giants star was slapped with divorce papers over his shameless gallivanting with 23-year-old former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson.
"He couldn't be more heartless," said a friend of the gridiron great and his eight-months-pregnant wife, Ginny, whose Manhattan divorce suit cites tricky Tiki's "adultery."
"[Ginny] is very heavily pregnant and was last week ordered into the hospital on bed rest," the friend said.
"Meanwhile, Tiki has been spotted all over town with his new girlfriend while she was in the hospital.
"He was at the NFL draft and out dining with Traci."
Tiki, who already has two sons with Ginny -- A.J., 7 and Chason, 6 -- is now shacked up with the sultry Johnson in a Midtown love nest.
When ducking out of that apartment and into his car yesterday, Tiki refused to answer a reporter's questions and only flashed a grin when asked whether he had recently spoken with his wife.
Ginny Barber is also outraged that Tiki has been low-balling her in out-of-court negotiations over financial support, a family friend said.
"Tiki refused to give her anything close to what she needs," the friend said. "The reason she filed is that settlement talks didn't work."
The divorce action was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court and accepted by Tiki's matrimonial lawyer on his behalf.
The Post revealed this month that Barber, 35, had dumped Ginny after 11 years of marriage for Traci, whom he met two years ago when she was still a student at Mount St. Mary College upstate.
Barber had been working as a correspondent for NBC Sports and the "Today" show until he was benched by 30 Rock brass after The Post reported on his dalliance.
Sources have said that his and Traci's torrid romance began even before Ginny, a former fashion publicist, became pregnant with twins last summer, and that Tiki has lavished Johnson with expensive gifts, clothes and dinners.
A Barber spokesman refused to answer whether Tiki had visited Ginny in the hospital last week.
The Barber family friend said: "It's been an emotional time for her, and she is, of course, worried about the health of her unborn twins. It's a lot to deal with."
"She is still being closely monitored by her doctors."
Meanwhile, a source told The Post that the "Today" show has booted Tiki as a high-priced correspondent amid fallout from the scandal.
Representatives for both NBC and Tiki refused to comment on that claim.

what a ass
This is so sad and heartless and yet many men will still create this kind of mess to caring about there own selfishness... If I was her once has had these babies I would move aways and let his azz worry about seeing them on his own time...
I hope she take him for every cent he has!!! The jumpoff has rolled around in some bad a** karma, the money she thinks she's gonna get is going directly to the wife then what?!!?
I agree with Anon@ 1107 AND 1124. I also believe that Tiki NEEDS to be slapped, and not just with divorce papers. But his conscience is gonna whip his butt when he sees the situation that he created for his 2 young sons and the twins. As for the HUSSY, she needs to put her college degree to work because an EX-NFL player + EX NFL correspondent +soon to be EX husband (because of adultrey) = NO MORE FREE MONEY!! When you are a public figure (athelete, congressman, etc) IMAGE is everything and once that image is tarnished no one is going to want to take a chance on you. Ask Tiger Woods who lost several lucrative endorsements following his shenanigans. With his children's combined ages, he is looking at paying child support for a LONG TIME!! (12 years for the 6 yr old, 11 years for the 7 year old and 18 years for the twins). I hope she's worth it Tiki (YOU BIG DUMMY!!)
Im just sayin ... did the wife get pregnant to try and keep her man? I know of instances where women have done this. Do you really think she had no clue that this man was cheating on her.
Anon@1:27--
Last time I checked it took TWO to get a woman pregnant; even if Tiki had been creepin' for YEARS, he STILL laid up with his WIFE, and AS his LEGAL WIFE and NOT wifEY, she had a legitimate right to sleep with her husband unprotected. His wife is almost due, so I don't believe that she got pregnant just to 'hold on to him'.
ATTENTION ALL MEN!!!!!!!ATTENTION ALL MEN!!!!!!!
why do men do this?
why do men abandon women?
especially women who they CHOSE to marry?
why do men cheat?
why are men not satisfied with one woman?
hardly ever do you see a married women giving birth to twins only to run off with her young lover/boy toy,leaving the husband to raise the children by himself...so why do men do this?
honest answers please.
@ 1:27 that's rdiculous. He was screwing around if he didn't want more babies, he coulda had a vasectomy. WOmen always get blamed for what men could do them damn selves.
Besides she ain't the jumpoff. She the wife. He screwed now.
Why do men do this 3:54, good question?! Maybe they are overwhelmed, just stupid, selfish, wants their significant other and a side piece, or again, maybe they are just stupid.....In Tiki's stupid ass case, he's just a douche! His ex is going to get PAID!
why do men do this? ^^^ It seemed right at the time
why do men abandon women? ^^^ We get "caught up".
especially women who they CHOSE to marry?
why do men cheat? ^^^ Because sometime the grass seems greener
why are men not satisfied with one woman? ^^^ It's not our nature. Less than 15% of men are faithful. Sorry
dumb ass karma is gonna be a HUGE bitch men are soooo fuckin stoopid
That white chick is sexy so good for Tiki
if you do not want to be married anymore ok that happens but there is a better way of doing things.. iknow both parties are not innocent but he could have done this in another way.. you can not make anyone love you.. but this is very sloppy on his part.. this makes him look like a monster..now he will be paying her big bucks in alimony and child support.. see this is why when ya cheat and ya have dough, you never flaunt the bitch or the nigga in your spouse's face.. that all works against you in the divorce proceedings..this is why poor jon from the jon and kate saga ia now living with his brother sleeping on his couch..
WELL She married a rick black former NFL player and it got her...smgdh Look on the bright side. At least she didn't get carved up like Nicole Brown. Good luck to Tiki and his blond trash. I hope she dumps his ass for another black male athlete
"Im just sayin ... did the wife get pregnant to try and keep her man? I know of instances where women have done this. Do you really think she had no clue that this man was cheating on her."
Really doesn't matter. Because it's not the issue here. This is not a "baby momma" situation - where a single woman might use her womb to try to hold on to a man who only has a temporary interest in her.
The issue is that Tiki married this woman, which demonstrates that at some point he had a permanent interest in her. If he didn't want to be married to his wife anymore & wanted to be with someone else, he should have divorced her years ago. That way, the wife probably wouldn't be pregnant by him right now. And Tiki would have been free to be with the woman he's with right now.
Why stay in a marriage with a woman that you don't want anymore - only to cheat on her & knock her up again? Why not get your ducks in a row and divorce before things get to that point? Money? Tiki's getting ready to lose ALOT more money now than he would have had he cut out of the marriage sooner!
Life is simple. Not EASY - but simple. People make life more complicated than it was meant to be.
^^Doing what is right from the beginning is ALWAYS cheaper in the long run.
"why are men not satisfied with one woman?"
I think that it's because many men marry a "good" woman instead of the RIGHT woman. By RIGHT woman I mean the "one." The one who was CREATED especially for him. I strongly believe that until a man meets "the one," he will never be truly satisfied with only one woman for life.
"It's not our nature. Less than 15% of men are faithful."
It is natural for a man to be faithful to a woman. But to the RIGHT woman - not just a "good" woman. Huge difference.
The problem is, so few men & women in life find the RIGHT one that most people have stopped believing that "the one" exists.
^sounds interesting
i believe that i found the RIGHT one for me but i don't think he knows that i'm the RIGHT one for him.
weird huh? is that possible?
if i get married to a "good man" instead of the RIGHT one, i know without a doubt that i would cheat on my husband for my soulmate if the opportunity presents itself, and i wouldn't want to do that. such is life
HE is probably surprised because he is used to getting away with murder in their relationship.
