Tianna Robillard has finally broken her silence on what led to her shocking split from NFL player Cody Ford, just two months after he got down on one knee.
The influencer revealed that she called off her wedding in June after finding evidence that he cheated on her twice throughout their two-year relationship.
She appeared on Thursday’s 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 strange feeling,” he began, before detailing a “great” job opportunity in Paris that Ford seemed to be “having trouble” accepting in May.
“I felt like… I didn’t feel supported, I didn’t feel like my victories were being celebrated and (my) professional growth was becoming an issue between us,” she continued.

She revealed on Hot Mess that she called off the wedding after finding evidence that he cheated on her.
The 27-year-old content creator said the “vibes weren’t right” with her future husband while on the work trip, and asked God to “slap her in the face” if she was “not meant to be in this relationship.”
The day after Robillard returned from Paris, she received a “disturbing” message from a fan ordering her to check her Instagram messages.
At the time, she was living in the couple’s Dallas home with their dogs, while Ford, 27, was in Ohio training with the Bengals.
“I checked my messages and found what I needed… he was giving people our home address in Cincinnati while he was there for after-hours activities,” she explained.
“We were in a long distance relationship for a couple of months, but this happened (two days) before he came home. So I dug deeper and got all the receipts and all the information I needed,” she continued, noting that the woman also sent her “screenshots” of her interactions with Ford.
“It was like, ‘Who are you? You got down on one knee a month before this,'” she told Alix Earle.
Ford was in Ohio for air travel when he claimed he was messaging at least one other woman.
“What was said (in the screenshots) I had never heard from his mouth, I had never understood it. I was like, ‘Who are you? You got down on one knee a month before this.’ I felt like my world was fake.”
Robillard spoke to her therapist and the couple called Ford to inform him that she knew “what was going on” and had to leave.
“My girls came over that night and helped me get through it and load the car,” she said.
Surprisingly, this was not the first time the influencer discovered that Ford was cheating on her.
“It’s happened to me before. I felt like all the work we’d done over the last year and a half after the first time had been for nothing. I thought, ‘I have to get out of here.'”
Ford and Robillard broke up in June, less than two months after he popped the question.
The couple shared photos of the Bengals guard’s proposal on social media on April 21.
Robillard went on to describe her heartbreaking decision to leave her home and the dogs she fostered.
‘He can do that and still live his life… I’m fighting for a roof over my head now, I left the dogs, I left the ring and I have to rebuild everything,’ he said.
“It’s a really fucked up situation… I gave you everything and it’s still not enough.”
The TikTok star is now looking ahead, but admitted she sometimes wonders “if he even loved her” as she deals 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 going to be,” he said.
The former couple began dating in April 2022. He proposed to her in April 2024, before the nuptials were quickly called off in June.
