By April 2024, they were engaged! Tianna was all about it, saying she was “all in“ and ready to commit. But, spoiler alert: things weren’t as rosy as they seemed. Those pesky trust issues started showing up early on, even just six months into dating. Tianna was feeling the weight of those doubts creeping in, but they pushed through to the engagement. However, behind the scenes, there were some storm clouds brewing.
Everything started going haywire when Tianna took a work trip to Paris in late May. You know, just a casual girls’ trip that turned into a total mess. She got back to messages that hinted Cody might not be the loyal guy he appeared to be. Talk about a twist!
Why did Cody and Tianna break up?
Jumping into that juicy detail, Tianna spilled the beans on Alix Earle’s “Hot Mess“ podcast, where she laid it all out. While she was living it up in Paris, people on TikTok started sending her wild messages claiming Ford was cheating. I mean, who wants that kind of news, right? She dove into her DMs, hoping for answers, and found a bunch of evidence that made her heart sink.
There was even some drama about the Bengals guard leaking their home address while she was away, which just intensified everything. Once she pieced it all together, she had to confront him. Tianna recalled the convo, saying it felt like her whole world was fake, and she was just left standing there thinking, “Who even are you?” She made the tough choice to pack up and leave what they had built—her ring included.
