LSU Fans Go Wild After Lane Kiffin’s Romance With Lady Tigers Basketball HC Goes Public
Lane Kiffin knows how to grab headlines, whether he’s raiding the transfer portal or showing up courtside at women’s basketball games. The 50-year-old LSU head coach made waves back on New Year’s Day when he walked into the arena holding hands with Lady Tigers basketball coach Kim Mulkey instead of watching his former Ole Miss squad play in the Sugar Bowl.
Now, a parody account just tossed gasoline on that fire by posting that Kiffin confirmed a relationship with Mulkey, and fans sprinted to the comments section like it was fourth-and-goal.

Kiffin’s personal life became LSU fan fodder the moment he chose to support Mulkey’s team over attending the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, just an hour from Baton Rouge. That hand-holding entrance got LSU’s official account posting “LSU Is The Place To Be” with a pointed tone that suggested the school wanted everyone talking about loyalty to the Tigers, not the Rebels.
Lane Kiffin Focuses on Building Historic Roster While Personal Life Dominates Headlines
While fans dissect his relationships, Kiffin’s been assembling the most aggressive transfer class in LSU history. The Tigers landed 42 portal players, crushing Brian Kelly’s previous school record of 18 by more than double. Nine top-100 recruits signed up, headlined by Colorado offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, Ole Miss edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen, and Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt.
Reports indicate Kiffin worked with a $20 million budget to overhaul nearly every position group. The retooled offensive line addresses last season’s biggest weakness, while defensive additions shore up the interior despite Kiffin’s offensive reputation.
Lane Kiffin shares three children with ex-wife Layla Kiffin following their 2016 divorce: daughters Landry and Presley, plus son Knox. His first season at LSU kicks off with expectations sky-high and fans watching everything he does, both on and off the field.
