Social Media Activity Sparks Breakup Rumors Between Landry Kiffin and LSU Linebacker Whit Weeks

The intersection of family ties and football has taken a public turn at LSU, as rumors circulate regarding a potential breakup between Landry Kiffin, the daughter of head coach Lane Kiffin, and Tigers linebacker Whit Weeks. The pair, who went public with their relationship in September 2025, have recently engaged in social media activity that suggests they may have parted ways, though neither party has issued an official confirmation.

The speculation intensified following a series of posts by Landry Kiffin on TikTok and Instagram. In one video, she lip-synced to lyrics from Big Sean’s song ‘Beware,’ specifically focusing on lines about a woman with a broken heart. Further fueling the rumors, she reportedly liked several social media comments from followers offering support in the wake of a perceived split. One fan mentioned they had planned a couple’s Halloween costume based on the pair, to which Landry responded by acknowledging the costume idea but not refuting the underlying assumption that the relationship had ended.

Observers also noted a significant change in the couple’s digital presence, with reports indicating that both have removed several photos of one another from their respective accounts. While they still follow each other, the shift in their online interaction became more apparent during a mid-October weekend when Landry traveled to Dallas for the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas. Dressed in Texas gear at the Cotton Bowl, she posted content about “spying on the competition” while LSU was engaged in a narrow 35-34 overtime loss to Kentucky.

This development comes during a challenging stretch for Whit Weeks on the field. The linebacker, who wears the program’s prestigious No. 7 jersey, is currently sidelined with a fracture in his lower right leg sustained during a game against Texas A&M in September. Weeks was a standout performer for the Tigers in 2024, recording 125 tackles and earning first-team All-SEC honors. His 2025 campaign was hampered by a right ankle injury, and his current recovery adds another layer of difficulty to a season where Lane Kiffin is attempting to establish his footprint at LSU.

Kiffin, who signed a seven-year, $91 million contract to lead the Tigers after a successful stint at Ole Miss, arrived in Baton Rouge in late November 2025. At the time of his appointment, the relationship between his daughter and one of his key defensive players was already public knowledge. Weeks addressed the unique dynamic at SEC Media Days, stating that his personal relationship with Landry did not affect his professional connection with the head coach, noting that football remained the priority within the team facilities.

This is not the first time a player on a roster coached by Lane Kiffin has been romantically linked to his daughter. Landry previously dated quarterback Walker Howard, who moved from LSU to Ole Miss in 2023 to play under the elder Kiffin. Howard eventually transferred to Louisiana before returning to Ole Miss in 2026. While the timelines of Howard’s transfers and his relationship with Landry overlapped, there has never been verified evidence that their personal status influenced his collegiate career decisions.

As LSU moves forward with a 5-2 overall record and a 2-2 mark in SEC play following a 31-0 victory over Mississippi State on October 17, the focus remains on the team’s performance. Whether the personal dynamics between the coach’s family and his roster will remain a point of public interest likely depends on whether the rumors are confirmed or if the pair chooses to remain silent as the season progresses.
