Who Is Rebecca Liddicoat, Robert Griffin III’s Ex-wife?

Rebecca Liddicoat is the ex-wife of Robert Griffin III, the NFL quarterback who currently plays for the Washington Redskins. Robert Griffin III and Rebecca Liddicoat finalized their divorce on August 16, 2016 after 3 years of marriage.

Rebecca’s life became a subject of interest when she married and subsequently became divorced from the NFL star. While some notable achievements have been documented on behalf of her more accomplished ex-husband, the public is still very much interested in finding out more about Rebecca.

Rebecca Liddicoat Was Born in the Late 80s

On August 13, 1988, Rebecca Liddicoat was born under the zodiac sign Leo in Boulder, Colorado. The ex-celebrity spouse, who is currently 35 years old, was raised alongside an older sister named Lindsey Liddicoat by their parents, Edward Liddicoat and Laura Liddicoat. Her parents’ profession is not something that the media or the public is aware of.

Rebecca is an American citizen because of her birth status and parental heritage. She also is of a white caucasian ethnic background. She spent most of her formative years in Boulder, Colorado, where she had her basic preschool and middle school education.

She got further academic training at Copperas Cove High School when her family moved to Texas before being admitted into the private Christian university – Baylor University, Texas. Her extra-curricular activities at the school included serving as the president of the Chi Service Club before she ended up bagging a B.Sc. in Biology at the end of the 2010 academic session.

She Met Her Ex-Husband, Robert Griffin III, in College

One of the most significant and life-changing experiences that Rebecca Liddicoat had as a college student was meeting her now ex-husband, Robert Griffin III, at Baylor University. Coincidentally, the former couple had attended the same high school but only became more acquainted with each other after being introduced to each other by a mutual friend in college – Baylor University – where Robert was a Political Science major.

This introduction was done in 2009, and not long after, including periods when Rebecca wondered why Robert wore girl socks, they officially became an item. The romantic gestures followed, and after dating for about a year, they officially announced their engagement in 2010, right out of university, and after Robert popped the question on October 23, 2010.

However, the engagement would be relatively long because Liddicoat had to wait for about three years before she was legally and officially Griffin’s wife. Rebecca and Robert tied the knot in the presence of friends and family on July 26, 2013. The prestigious event took place at the Denver Four Seasons Hotel in Denver, Colorado.

The venue was close to Rebecca’s hometown and made it easy for her family members to attend, especially her sister, Lindsey, who served as the maid of honor. Other popular faces in attendance were Griffin’s NFL teammates such as Santana Moss, DeAngelo Hall, Kirk Cousins, Pierre Garcon, and London Fletcher.

Rebecca and Robert’s wedding also enjoyed having her ex-husband’s team head coach, Art Briles, and Redskins owner, Daniel Snyder, grace the ceremony with their presence. Rebecca Liddicoat’s marriage to Robert Griffin III progressed nicely without unusual happenings for the next two years before they were blessed with a child who turned out to be the only child they had together as a couple.

Reese Ann Griffin became her parents’ pride and joy after being born on May 21, 2015. Underneath all the celebrations and joy, a storm was waiting to roll over the surface of the erstwhile peaceful marriage, and the public was soon made aware of it.

Rebecca Liddicoat’s Marriage Ended in 2016

No sooner had Rebecca Liddicoat weaned their daughter, Resse Ann, than the couple officially separated on August 16, 2016. Credible sources have revealed that this separation resulted from infidelity on the part of NFL star Robert Griffin III. He had been cheating on his wife with an Estonian heptathlete named Grete Sadeiko.

All attempts to patch things up between the couple failed, which led to Robert filing for a divorce on September 7, 2016, almost a month after the separation. The finalized terms of the divorce included Rebecca taking full custody of their only child and daughter. The couple had a home in Texas.

The court also granted Rebecca half of the house, valued at $2.2 million during the divorce proceedings, essentially giving Rebecca a $1.1 million payoff. She also requested and was granted the sum of $36,000, a monthly payment to be made by Robert, which she said was the cost of maintaining their Texas and Virginia homes and taking care of their daughter after the star had shut down her credit cards.

Where is Rebecca Liddicoat Now?

She still lives at their Texas home with her only daughter. Regarding what she does for a living, netizens will recall that although Rebecca was a trained biologist, she went directly from college to being a housewife when she married Robert Griffin. So far, she doesn’t have any noticeable source of income.

Sources have said that she was locked in a legal battle with Griffin after his initial reluctance to fulfill the financial terms of their divorce. She is currently worth an estimated $2 million, all funds from her divorce settlement. Rebecca has also remained single as she focuses on raising her only daughter. If she is in a relationship, she has most definitely not shared that with the public.

On the other hand, the allegations that led to her divorce are true, as her ex-husband is now married to the same woman who broke them up. Robert initially got engaged to Grete Sadeiko on May 13, 2017, before marrying her in what was said to be a lavish ceremony on March 10, 2018.

Robert’s first child with Grete was a daughter born on July 2, 2016. Her parents named her Gloria Griffin. His second child with the Estonian heptathlete was also a daughter born on September 7, 2019, and named Gameya Griffin.
