Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Cody Ford is relatively unknown in the NFL ranks.
Ford was selected in the second round of the 2019 draft by the Buffalo Bills. He played in 38 games for Buffalo, mostly as a starter in his rookie season. But injuries ended up costing him a spot in the starting lineup and later on the team. He played one season with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022 and joined the Bengals in 2023, only starting one of the 17 games he appeared in.

The 27-year-old from Louisiana rose to fame when he started dating TikTok star Tianna Robillard, who now has over 2 million followers on the social media platform. The two revealed their relationship in January 2023 and got engaged in April.
However, Robillard revealed in a tearful video in June that the two had split. Any trace of their relationship was virtually wiped from social media following the split.
The social media influencer appeared on “Hot Mess with Alix Earle” and told her that she discovered Ford was cheating on her. Robillard said she received a comment from a moderator during a live stream suggesting Ford was cheating on her.
Robillard told Earle that she contacted the commenter and read the messages he sent her. She said that while on a work trip to Paris, Ford allegedly leaked her address and that the allegations that he had been unfaithful seemed “real” to her.

“I checked my messages and found what I needed… he was giving people our home address in Cincinnati while he was there for OTAs,” Robillard said.
“We were in contact remotely for a couple of months, but this happened (two days) before he came home (from OTAs while they lived in Dallas). So I did more research and got all the receipts and all the information I needed,” she said.
Robillard suggested some of the messages left her stunned.
“I had never heard the words he said from his mouth, nor had I understood them myself,” she said. “It was really wild. I thought, 'Who are you?' I felt like my world was fake.”
Robillard also alleged that Ford cheated on her six months into their relationship.
“I left everything behind and I have to rebuild everything,” he said.

Ford has not responded to the allegations. Instead, his Instagram has focused on football and business. He also does not follow her on the social media platform.
