Back in April, The New York Post began reporting that NBC coanchor and sports dude Tiki Barber had dumped his 8-months-pregnant wife Ginny, all for a young NBC intern that he was boning. Later, the NYP got some sources who claimed that Tiki and this girl, Traci, had been boning for two years, in what must have been the neverending internship/whore apprenticeship. Tiki also lavished her with gifts and was keeping Traci in style too. Anyway, Tiki recently gave an interview where he tried to “correct the record” on what really happened to his marriage. His take? He and 8-months pregnant Ginny were separated already when he and Traci started boning. Keep in mind that no one had filed papers or anything when the story broke – and Tiki and Ginny were still living together in their apartment.
Anyway, you knew this was coming: the little girl must have her voice! Traci the Mistress spoke to Crushable (via Page Six) about her relationship with Tiki, and she sounds just as dumb as you’d expect:
Tiki Barber’s girlfriend, Traci Johnson, insists she and the ex-Giant didn’t get together until he’d split with his wife of 11 years, Ginny, who was then pregnant with twins. She writes on crushable.com: “I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind.”
Traci said she was shocked to find herself on The Post’s front page when we broke the story in April. She recalls “crying to Tiki . . . begging him to . . . scream it from the top of 30 Rock, to simply tell the world the truth because I thought it was destroying me, him… Tiki sat me down . . . and said, ‘Nothing that I can say will change their perception.’”
She adds they enjoy watching rented movies “or enjoying an episode of ‘Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman’ . . . you can find us at a cozy wine bar with friends or playing in a co-ed softball league.” Tiki and Ginny are still battling over their divorce settlement.

Remember when being someone’s mistress used to have a thin veil of class? It was before my time, but I always think of Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis, who were lovers despite his first and second marriages. Maria rarely, if ever, spoke about him publicly, and their relationship seemed to have an upper-class elegance to it, even though we know now that they were both really messed-up people. This little Traci girl… ugh. What ever happened to class? If you’re going to screw a married man while his wife is pregnant, have the decency to shut your mouth.
Here are some old images of Tiki and his wife Ginny:
