She Has Stayed Unmarried Since The Divorce
Since Layla Kiffin ended her marriage with Lane Kiffin, she has not been linked with anyone.

Lane Kiffin has also not come out publicly to announce any lady as his new love, however, there have been a few rumors.
A year after their divorce, there were rumors that when speaking to women at bars, he used the fake name “Joey Freshwater.” The fact that it was his way of trying to hide his true identity came off funny to the public.
There were also rumors that Lane Kiffin was in a relationship with Kristen Seban, but he denied the claims. The Ole Miss coach has also been spotted with a South Florida realtor but he is yet to confirm what his relationship with her is.
