Lane and his wife were once considered an ideal couple; however, the marriage could not last more than a decade due to an unfortunate turn of events. 

The Lincoln, Nebraska native had first met Layla Kiffin (Greer Reaves) in 1999 through his father, Monte, who worked as an NFL defensive coordinator. The romance between the two soon blossomed, and the couple got engaged after a mere three months of dating.

Lane even sought the permission of Layla's father before proposing her for marriage. Layla's dad, Dan Reaves told talked about Lane's proposal in an old interview,

"I thought he was going to say that he was getting out of coaching and wanted a job. Instead he asked if he could marry my daughter. I called her to ask her, ‘Is he serious?’ I wasn’t supposed to ruin the surprise. They bought an engagement ring that same day."

Lane and his wife Layla Kiffin eventually got married on 1 July 2004. A year after the marriage, Layla gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Landry. Two years later, the couple became parents to a second daughter, Pressley.

In 2009, Lane and his wife welcomed their first son, who was named Knox after Knoxville.

Lane and his wife were leading a happy life with their children, celebrating different occasions together. For instance, on 3 January 2012, Lane tweeted to wish his wife on her 37th birthday. He wrote on his Twitter,

The gossips spread like wildfire, and there were trolls all over the internet, mocking Lane for his affair. Even his Wikipedia page was edited by an unknown user to mock the former USC head coach.

While the rumors have never been confirmed, it eventually reached Layla's ears, after which she took the bold step of filing for divorce on 28 February 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.

Talking about the couple's decision to divorce, Lane told Fox Sports,

"After a lot of careful thought and consideration, Layla and I have mutually decided to divorce. We are fully committed to our kids' future being our No. 1 priority. We will maintain an amicable relationship with respect for each other as we raise these three wonderful children. We will have no further comments and appreciate respect for our family's privacy."

Lane Kiffin's wife even asked for spousal as the divorce settlement, and he was ordered to pay 34.5% for his total income. Lane was later free of his responsibilities as an Offensive Coordinator, which brought financial problems to him. He was even heard saying in an interview with Pete Thamel,

“I pay around 52% in taxes. Layla gets 34.5% in the divorce, and [agent Jimmy Sexton] gets 3%. I make [about] 9% and I’m living in Tuscaloosa.”

Despite the divorce, Lane remains on good terms with his former wife, and Layla occasionally even tags her ex-husband in social media posts.

On 2 October 2016, Layla shared a picture alongside her children and reminded Lane that their kids were the most important trophies he could ever achieve.
