Landry Kiffin has spent much of her life around college football, but she has gradually become known for something beyond simply being Lane Kiffin’s daughter.
The eldest child of the LSU Tigers head coach has built her own social-media presence, attended the University of Mississippi, developed an interest in fashion and business, and found herself at the center of one of college football’s more unusual relationships.
Her boyfriend, LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, plays for the same team now coached by her father. That connection became especially intriguing after Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU, turning what was already an unusual family-football story into an even more complicated one.
In 2026, Landry remains a student at Ole Miss while continuing her relationship with Weeks and developing her own interests outside the football field.
Who Is Landry Kiffin?
Landry Kiffin is the eldest daughter of college football coach Lane Kiffin and his former wife, Layla Kiffin.
Lane and Layla have three children: Landry, their younger daughter Presley, and their son, Monte Knox, commonly known as Knox. The official Ole Miss football media guide lists Landry and Presley as Lane’s daughters and Knox as his son.
Landry was born in 2005 and grew up alongside her father as his coaching career took the family to different parts of the United States. Her childhood was closely connected to football, but she eventually developed interests of her own in fashion, social media and business.
The South China Morning Post’s September 2026 profile of Landry notes that she has recently attracted significant attention because of her connection to the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry and her father’s move to LSU.
How Old Is Landry Kiffin?
Landry Kiffin was born in 2005, making her 21 years old in 2026.
Several profiles identify her as a 2005-born student at Ole Miss. Sporting News previously described Landry as a 20-year-old student when her relationship with Whit Weeks became public in 2025.
Her exact birthday has been inconsistently reported by online biography sites, so it is safer to use her birth year and current age rather than repeat an unverified exact date.
As of 2026, Landry is continuing her college education while also building a public profile of her own.
Landry Kiffin at Ole Miss
Landry has a particularly strong connection to Ole Miss because she attends the University of Mississippi, the school where her father spent several years as head football coach.
According to Yahoo Sports, Landry confirmed in September 2026 that she was still a student at Ole Miss even after her father left the school for LSU.
That decision attracted attention because Lane Kiffin’s departure created an unusual situation for his daughter. She remained connected to the university while her father became the head coach of one of its biggest SEC rivals.
The South China Morning Post reported that Landry remained an Ole Miss student amid the fallout surrounding her father’s move to LSU.
Her connection to the school also goes beyond her father’s coaching career. She has developed her own social circle and public presence there, including her involvement with the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
Landry Kiffin and Social Media
Landry has become increasingly recognizable through social media.
She frequently posts about college life, fashion, football and her family, and her accounts have also provided glimpses into her relationship with her father.
Her social-media presence became particularly relevant when Lane Kiffin’s future at Ole Miss was being discussed. ESPN previously reported on the important role Landry played in her father’s decision to remain at Ole Miss when Auburn pursued him in 2022. According to ESPN’s profile of Lane Kiffin, Landry had recently moved to Oxford and made an emotional appeal to her father about leaving.
That moment became part of the family’s larger Ole Miss story.
Years later, the situation changed dramatically when Lane ultimately left Oxford for LSU.
Landry Kiffin and Whit Weeks
Landry’s relationship with LSU linebacker Whit Weeks became public in September 2025, shortly before LSU was scheduled to play Ole Miss.
The timing immediately caught the attention of college football fans.
Weeks was an LSU player, while Landry was the daughter of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. The couple effectively became connected to both sides of a major SEC rivalry.
On3 reported that Landry made the relationship public through an Instagram post showing herself sitting on Weeks’ lap with the caption “Happy :).”
Weeks subsequently confirmed the relationship.
The situation became even more unusual because Lane Kiffin was coaching against the man dating his daughter.
Rather than objecting publicly, Lane took a lighthearted approach. Sporting News reported that Kiffin described Weeks positively and said he was happy that the two were together.
How Did Landry Kiffin Meet Whit Weeks?
Landry and Whit Weeks reportedly met during the summer before they publicly confirmed their relationship.
Pro Football Network reported that the two had been quietly dating after meeting over the summer before making their relationship official on Instagram in September 2025.
The timing of their public announcement made the relationship much more interesting to college football fans. LSU was preparing to visit Ole Miss, meaning Weeks would be playing against Landry’s father only days after their relationship became public.
The couple did not appear to let the rivalry interfere with their relationship.
In fact, Sports Illustrated reported that Landry drove more than 300 miles to surprise Weeks before the game.
Their relationship continued beyond that matchup.
By September 2026, Yahoo Sports reported that Landry and Weeks were still dating.
Lane Kiffin Is Now Coaching Landry’s Boyfriend
The Landry-Whit relationship became even more unusual after Lane Kiffin accepted the LSU head-coaching position.
Instead of simply being the father of his daughter’s boyfriend, Lane became Weeks’ coach.
That created a unique dynamic inside the LSU football program.
Weeks himself has acknowledged the unusual situation. According to coverage of the relationship, he has said that things are normal with Lane outside the football environment and that the coaching relationship does not interfere with his relationship with Landry.
For Landry, the situation means her father and boyfriend now work for the same college football program while she remains connected to Ole Miss as a student.
It is an unusual family connection even by college football standards.
Landry Kiffin’s Fashion and Business Interests
Football is not the only area where Landry has been building an identity.
She has developed a strong interest in fashion and lifestyle content, which is visible through her social-media activity.
Recent 2026 coverage has also connected her with a clothing venture called FIFTH YEAR. Sportskeeda reported in September 2026 that Landry had been working on the clothing brand and promoting its launch.
The venture represents another step away from simply being identified as a football coach’s daughter.
Her social-media presence, fashion interests and entrepreneurial projects give her a public identity that exists independently of Lane Kiffin’s coaching career.
What Happened With the Landry Kiffin “Accident” Search?
The phrase “Landry Kiffin accident” has appeared in searches, but it needs some clarification.
The Sports Illustrated article associated with this keyword was about a bathroom selfie Landry shared online and an issue that viewers noticed in the image. It was not a report of a serious accident involving Landry.
There is therefore no basis for describing the incident as a major accident.
This distinction is important because celebrity searches can quickly turn an unusual photograph or social-media moment into a misleading headline. In Landry’s case, the available reporting does not support claims that she was involved in a serious accident.
Landry Kiffin and the 2026 Ole Miss-LSU Rivalry
Landry found herself at the center of the Ole Miss-LSU rivalry in a way few other fans could understand.
Her father was now LSU’s head coach. Her boyfriend played linebacker for LSU. Yet Landry remained a student at Ole Miss.
The situation became particularly heated ahead of the September 2026 meeting between the two teams.
The South China Morning Post reported that Landry had been subjected to inappropriate and explicit banners in Oxford amid the anger surrounding her father’s departure.
Landry publicly pushed back against the harassment and misinformation surrounding her.
The incident demonstrated how much attention had shifted onto her simply because of her connection to Lane Kiffin and the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry.
Landry Kiffin’s Family
Landry comes from a well-known football family.
Her father, Lane Kiffin, has coached at several major programs and is now the head coach of LSU. The LSU coaching announcement and official team coverage documents his current role with the Tigers.
Her mother, Layla Kiffin, was married to Lane for 12 years before they divorced in 2016. The couple’s three children are Landry, Presley and Knox. PEOPLE’s profile of Layla Kiffin provides an overview of their family and relationship history.
Landry’s younger sister Presley has pursued volleyball and attends USC, while younger brother Knox has followed the football path more directly.
That makes Landry somewhat unusual within the family: she remains closely connected to college football but has increasingly developed interests in fashion, social media and business.
What Is Next for Landry Kiffin?
At 21, Landry Kiffin is still in the early stages of establishing her own career.
Her education at Ole Miss remains an important part of her life, while fashion, social media and entrepreneurship have opened other avenues.
Her relationship with Whit Weeks has also placed her in an unusual position within the SEC football world. Her father now coaches her boyfriend at LSU, while she continues to have strong ties to Ole Miss.
That combination has made Landry a recognizable figure in college football culture even though she is not herself a player.
For now, her story is less about being the daughter of a famous coach and more about what she is doing with the visibility that comes with the Kiffin name.
Between college life, fashion, social media, business and her relationship with Whit Weeks, Landry Kiffin is building a public identity of her own—one that continues to intersect with college football in some remarkably complicated ways.
