A new twist in the off-field saga between Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Cody Ford and his ex-fiance Tianna Robillard has unfolded – in a very public way.
Back in July, Robillard called out Ford for cheating on her twice in their relationship, before she eventually called off the engagement.
The social media influencer has since gone further – calling out a woman named Leah Rodriguez, who is now believed to be Ford’s new girlfriend.
TikToker @sammysamslife detailed the situation in a post, first laying out how Ford and Rodriguez have now become an item.
Among the images, Rodriguez can be seen wearing one of Ford’s jerseys to a Cincinnati Bengals game and posting it on her own Instagram.
The latest fallout from Cody Ford and Tianna Robillard’s breakup has appeared to reveal itself
A TikTok user appeared to find images suggesting Rodriguez was wearing Robillard’s jacket
‘Before she turned off the comments on her post, many fans were able to screenshot the fact that Cody commented this [covering eyes emoji, heart eyes emoji] on the post and Leah responded with this [smirking face, hand covering smile emoji],’ the TikToker pointed out.
The video continued, showing that Rodriguez was wearing a jacket that had once – incredibly – belonged to Robillard in a photo taken inside Ford’s Cincinnati home.
That was something Robillard confirmed when she commented, ‘My clothes [fingers pointing to each other]’.
It appears that Rodriguez has since deleted her Instagram account or taken it offline – as at the time of publishing, no searches returned an account matching the username of posts in the video.
Her family members, though, seemingly aren’t keeping so quiet, with a woman claiming to be Rodriguez’s sister backing her up in an Instagram comment under Robillard’s latest post.
In the message, she wrote: ‘Don’t be shy, check your DMs in regards to my sister and you purposefully withholding the fact you actually know who he cheated with and it wasn’t her. Cyber bullying isn’t cute.’
Robillard appeared on a July episode of the Hot Mess podcast, hosted by fellow social media star Alix Earle, to discuss her highly-publicized split from the Cincinnati Bengals guard.
‘I had a weird feeling,’ she began, before detailing a ‘big’ work opportunity in Paris that Ford seemed to ‘have a problem’ with her accepting in May.
‘I felt like .. I don’t feel supported, I don’t feel like my wins are being celebrated, and [my] career growth was becoming an issue between us,’ she went on.

Tianna Robillard finally broke her silence about what led to her split from NFL player Cody Ford
A woman claiming to be Rodriguez’s sister also called out Robillard in an Instagram comment
Robillard, 27, said the ‘vibes were off’ with Ford while she was on the work trip and she asked God to ‘smack [her] in the face’ if she ‘wasn’t meant to be in the relationship.’
A day after returning from Paris, Robillard received an ‘unsettling’ message from a fan instructing her to check her Instagram messages.
At that time, she was living at the couple’s home in Dallas with their dogs while Ford was living in Ohio as he trained with the Bengals.
‘I looked through my messages and I find what I needed … he was giving people the address to our Cincinnati home while he was over there for OTAs,’ she explained.
‘We were doing long distance for a couple of months but this was happening [two days] before he came home. So I dug more into it and got all the receipts and all the info I needed,’ she went on, noting that the woman also sent her ‘screenshots’ of her interactions with Ford.
She revealed on Hot Mess that she called off the wedding after finding evidence he cheated
‘It was like, “Who are you? You got down on one knee a month before this,”‘ she told Alix Earle
‘The that were spoken [in the screenshots] I had never heard out of his mouth, I had never received myself, it was like, “Who are you? You got down on one knee a month before this.” I felt like my world was fake.’
Robillard talked to her therapist and the two of them called Ford to let him know that she knew ‘what was going on’ and had to leave.
‘My girls came over that night and helped me through it and packed the car,’ she said.
Astonishingly, it wasn’t the first time the influencer had discovered Ford cheating on her.
‘It’s happened before. [I felt like] all the work we’ve done over the past year and a half after the first time was for nothing. I was like, “I gotta get out of here.”‘
Ford was in Ohio for OTAs when she claimed he was messaging at least one other woman
The pair shared pictures from the Bengals guard’s proposal on social media on April 21
Robillard went on to describe her heartbreaking decision to leave their home and the dogs she raised.
‘[He] gets to do that and [continue] living his life … now I’m fighting for a roof over my head, I left the dogs, I left the ring and I have to rebuild everything,’ she said.
‘It’s really a f**ked up situation … I gave you everything and it’s still not enough.’
The TikTok star is now looking forward, but she admitted she sometimes questions ‘if he even loved’ her while dealing with vile messages from NFL fans.
‘After learning what I’ve learned, once someone shows me who they are the first time, in the future, that’s what it’s gonna be,’ she said.
