‘Beware of a Woman With a Broken Heart’: Lane Kiffin’s Daughter Fuels Split Rumors With LSU Star — Then Catches Heat for Cheering Texas
Landry Kiffin fueled breakup rumors with LSU linebacker Whit Weeks via cryptic TikToks — then drew backlash for cheering Texas at the Red River Rivalry.
LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s daughter Landry knows exactly how to set the internet on fire — and this weekend she lit two matches at once. The Ole Miss student first fueled breakup rumors with her boyfriend, LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, through a series of cryptic TikToks from Dallas. Then she poured gasoline on a whole different fire by openly cheering for Texas at the Red River Rivalry.
The TikToks did the talking. In clips posted over the weekend, Landry lip-synced to Big Sean’s “Beware” — the one with the line “beware of a woman with a broken heart” — and liked comments from followers reading between the lines, including one that said, “I just lost my b*tch too girl.” It didn’t take long for fans to connect the dots: trouble in paradise with Weeks.
Then came Saturday in Dallas. While her dad coaches LSU and her boyfriend plays linebacker for the Tigers, Landry was spotted cheering on Texas during the Longhorns’ Red River showdown with Oklahoma — a 27-24 Sooners win on October 10. For LSU and Ole Miss fans alike, the optics were… a choice.
Neither Side Is Talking
Here’s the important part: as of now, it’s all speculation. Neither Landry nor Weeks has addressed the breakup rumors publicly, and a few moody TikToks plus some liked comments do not a confirmed split make. Social media has a long history of turning cryptic posts into full-blown narratives — sometimes accurately, sometimes not.
There’s also real-world context worth remembering. Weeks is sidelined indefinitely after undergoing leg surgery, per reports — a tough stretch for any player, and the kind of thing that puts strain on anyone’s personal life. Reading a relationship’s obituary off a lip-sync video might be getting ahead of the story.
It’s also worth noting how young everyone in this story is. Landry is a college student living her life partly in public because of who her father is — a reality she didn’t choose. Every TikTok gets screen-recorded, every liked comment becomes a headline. That’s a strange way to navigate your early twenties, and it cuts both ways: the attention that makes her posts go viral is the same attention that turns them into evidence.
The Texas Backlash
The Texas cheering, though — that’s what really got the fan bases going. Critics torched Landry for backing the Longhorns while her father leads LSU and her boyfriend wears purple and gold. To rival SEC fans, it looked like a betrayal on two fronts at once.
Her defenders pushed back just as hard. She’s an Ole Miss student, they noted — her dad may coach LSU now, but her own college loyalty was never a secret. And since when is a college kid required to submit her gameday rooting interests for approval? Plenty of fans argued the backlash says more about the commenters than about Landry.
It also didn’t help that the weekend was already emotionally loaded. Between the breakup speculation and a rivalry game in Dallas, Landry’s social media became a Rorschach test — everyone saw whatever narrative they wanted. That’s the double-edged sword of living online: the same posts that feel like harmless fun on Friday become exhibits by Monday.
Love triangles, rivalry games, cryptic TikToks — it’s the full college football soap opera, and Landry Kiffin is at the center of it whether she planned to be or not. Until someone confirms anything, the rumors stay rumors. But in the SEC, the court of public opinion never adjourns.
As for the Red River Rivalry itself — Oklahoma’s 27-24 win over Texas gave Sooners fans bragging rights and left Longhorn backers, Landry apparently included, with nothing but what-ifs. In a weekend full of drama, at least the football delivered exactly what rivalry weekend promises.
