The exact date and month of her birth are currently unknown, but we have confirmation that her birth name is Virginia Cha and that she is of Korean and Vietnamese descent. Ginny Cha&#8217;s celebrity status comes primarily from her previous marriage to a former National Football League star.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, there is not much information about the former celebrity spouse&#8217;s birth family. Other than the fact that her parents&#8217; nationalities are split between the Korean Republic and Vietnam, we have not been able to identify who Ginny&#8217;s parents are, including other salient facts like what they did for a living and when they migrated to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s equally possible that Ginny Cha is the only child of her parents because she has never once mentioned the existence of a sibling. As previously stated, Ginny Cha was reportedly born in the United States, thereby making her an American citizen by birth. Similar to her date and month of birth.<\/p>\n<p>However, the exact location of her birth in the United States is currently unknown. Regarding her formal education, several sources, including this one, have confirmed that Ginny Cha graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in an as-yet unknown course from the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Before her 4-year stint at the University, not much was known about her elementary and high school years, including the identities and locations of the said institutions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Became Tiki Barber&#8217;s Wife in 1999<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that Ginny Cha was once a celebrity wife, and it was also not a secret that the man she was married to was Tiki Barber, a former NFL running back. What has been sparingly made clear, however, is the fact that Ginny met her ex-husband when she was a student at the University of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newspaperarena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/FBOHKTC2HHYGT5K46DBBO6NNRQ.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-147185 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/Ginny-Cha.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/Ginny-Cha.png 700w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/Ginny-Cha-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/Ginny-Cha-218x150.png 218w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/Ginny-Cha-696x477.png 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The circumstances surrounding how they met have been swallowed up by the events of their relationship before, during, and after marriage. At this point, it becomes quite imperative to mention that when Ginny Cha met her now ex-husband Tiki, he was already fully representing the University of Virginia as a college football player.<\/p>\n<p>It would also be quite easy to suggest that Ginny was a cheerleader, but there is no way to corroborate that statement.\u00a0The bottom line remains that Ginny and her ex-husband kicked off a lengthy relationship in college.<\/p>\n<p>The timeline of their relationship culminated in the fact that they tied the proverbial knot on May 15, 1999, a couple of years after Tiki was drafted into the NFL by the Giants. The former couple initially resided on the upper east side of New York City during the early years of their marriage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Had Four Children With Her Ex-Husband<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ginny Cha and Tiki Barber had four children together. The ex-couple sons were born less than two years apart. Their first son was born on July 8, 2002, and was named Atiim Kiambu Barber Jr., aka A.J. On March 18, 2004, the former couple welcomed a second son, who they named Chason Barber.<\/p>\n<p>Ginny&#8217;s ex-husband is a twin, and the former couple had twin children of their own, albeit daughters, on May 24, 2010. Ginny named her daughters Riley Barber and Ella Barber, respectively.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ginny Cha&#8217;s Marriage To Tiki Barber Lasted Just Over 10 Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ginny Cha and Tiki Barber had a blissful first few years of marriage and given their history as a couple, the media, and the public assumed that theirs was a match that would stand the test of time. Everyone who harbored those aspirations for the couple was sadly mistaken, as the marriage ultimately bit the dust in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>At first, lots of people, including the media, couldn&#8217;t fathom why such a union was dissolved, and several factors were put forward as to the reason for that. In the end, the overriding cause of the divorce was revealed to be the extra-marital affair that Tiki Barber had with a woman named Traci Lynn Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;other woman&#8221; was reportedly an intern under Tiki&#8217;s wing when he worked as a correspondent for NBC. It was also confirmed that Traci Lynn Johnson was 23 years old at the time, 11 years younger than a then 34-year-old Ginny, and 12 years younger than her ex-husband, who was 35 years old at the time. To make matters worse, Traci had babysat the former couple two sons.<\/p>\n<p>On April 5, 2010, a seven-month pregnant Ginny and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Tiki, announced they were separating. They remained that way even after the ex-couple twin daughters were born, and the divorce was finalized on July 12, 2012. Years later, Traci Johnson, the woman believed to have been responsible for ending Ginny&#8217;s more than a decade marriage to Tiki, came out to defend her actions, stating that she and Tiki never got together until his divorce was finalized.<\/p>\n<p>The court of public opinion has generally taken that remark with a grain of salt and considered it fallacious because Barber and Johnson were married even before the ink on the divorce settlement dried eight days after the divorce was finalized.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their divorce, Ginny and Tiki agreed to co-parent their kids even though primary custody reverted to Ginny, who requested monthly alimony and child support payments which were believed to be around $150k. Tiki, however, said he could not pay that amount because his finances were not what it was after his retirement in 2006.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ginny Cha Worked As A Fashion Publicist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of her marriage to Tiki Barber, Ginny Cha was working as a fashion publicist for a men&#8217;s designer-clothing brand known as Zegna. Tiki&#8217;s NFL career apparently took center stage, and even after their divorce, not much is known about Ginny Cha&#8217;s career as she prefers to be out of the public&#8217;s view and subsequent media attention.<\/p>\n<p>All her career efforts have reportedly seen her earn a net worth of around $250k.\u00a0On the other hand, Tiki played his entire NFL career as a New York Giant running back. He was drafted in 1997 and won several individual awards before his retirement in 2006. He then became a correspondent for NBC on the Today Show, and following his cheating scandal, the network ultimately chose not to renew his contract.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Has Ginny Cha Remarried?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It would appear so. Ginny Cha is now known as Ginny Cha Hoffman as per her Instagram handle @gjcha. The profile picture on her Instagram page depicts Ginny in close embrace with a man whose last name is Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p>However, little is known about the couple, as the IG account in question is set to private. Her Facebook page @Ginny Cha Hoffman is no better regarding information with just a few photos. As a result, there are factors in the relationship that the public is unaware of, such as whether they have children together or not.<\/p>\n<p>Ginny&#8217;s ex-husband is also remarried to Traci Lynn Johnson, the woman he allegedly cheated on Ginny with. They have two daughters together, Brooklyn Johnson Barber (born December 27, 2013) and Teagan Johnson Barber (born July 2016).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ginny Cha (Full name: Virginia Cha; born 1976) is a -year-old former fashion publicist for men&#8217;s designer-clothing label, Zegna, and is best known as the former wife of Tiki Barber, the retired New York Giants running back.
