LSU linebacker Whit Weeks and Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s daughter Landry went official on Instagram on Monday, just days before their teams clash Saturday. For Landry, this marks a new chapter after a messy Ole Miss breakup.
How Did Landry Kiffin and Whit Weeks Go Public?
Landry and LSU linebacker Weeks had been quietly dating since meeting over the summer, but made their relationship official with a simple post. Landry shared a photo sitting on the All-SEC linebacker’s lap with the caption “happy :).”
The timing creates extra storylines for Saturday’s matchup, with the couple going public just five days before No. 4 LSU visits No. 13 Ole Miss. Lane seems to have responded on X by posting Landry’s childhood photo captioned “will be rooting for the Rebs!!!!”
For Landry, this relationship marks a fresh start after a messy breakup that rocked the Ole Miss program. Her previous quarterback boyfriend left Oxford under a cloud of controversy.
Who Did Landry Kiffin Date Before Whit Weeks?
Before dating Weeks, Landry was involved with Walker Howard, a quarterback who transferred from LSU to Ole Miss in 2023. Howard, originally a four-star prospect and the No. 6 quarterback nationally in the 2022 recruiting cycle, began dating Lane’s daughter after arriving in Oxford.
Their relationship flourished throughout 2024, documented through social media posts, including trips together in June and Landry celebrating Howard’s 21st birthday in August. However, their relationship ended dramatically in late 2024 amid cheating allegations.
Lane posted cryptic Instagram story messages following his daughter’s breakup, suggesting Howard had been unfaithful. Soon after their relationship imploded, Howard entered the transfer portal for the second time and departed Ole Miss for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns.
Many believed Howard’s messy breakup with the head coach’s daughter led to his Ole Miss exit. His transfer came right after the relationship ended, raising questions about whether personal drama hurt his spot on the team.
What Do We Know About Whit Weeks’ Dating History?
Unlike Landry’s well-documented relationship history, Weeks has kept his personal life private, focusing primarily on football and family. The Georgia native plays alongside his brothers, West and Zach, at LSU, making them one of three brother combinations on the Tigers’ roster.
Weeks earned All-SEC honors last season with 125 tackles, but he has had a quieter start to 2025, with just eight tackles through four games. For someone who rarely discusses relationships publicly, going Instagram official with Lane Kiffin’s daughter shows that this relationship matters to him.
Now Saturday’s LSU-Ole Miss game gets personal. Landry will be caught in the middle, deciding whether to support her school and dad or cheer for her boyfriend.
