Tiki Barber’ s estranged wife Ginny Cha gave birth to twin girls earlier this week, but sources say that while Tiki was at the hospital for the delivery he was banned from the birthing room.
The retired Giants running back was forced to wait outside while Ginny gave birth at a New York hospital on Monday, insiders said.
“Tiki was at the hospital for the birth, but was not in the delivery room,” an insider said.Barber, a correspondent for NBC’s “Today” show, and his wife are still negotiating the terms of their divorce.
“Things with him and Ginny are still very difficult. He is still refusing to give her the settlement she is asking for, and is offering a lot less,” a source said.
“They are still in court over money and over custody. He did see the baby girls after they were born, as Ginny understands he needs to be a huge part of their lives, and she wants to make sure they are taken care of.”
Ginny’s rep, Jesse Derris, confirmed the twins’ births and that Tiki was nearby.
“I can confirm that Ginny gave birth on Monday, and Tiki was there at the hospital,” Derris said last night.
“Ginny is grateful for the incredible outpouring of well-wishes from friends and family. Both her and the girls are doing fine.”
Derris, however, declined to reveal the babies’ names or the hospital where they were born, for privacy reasons.
The mom was still in the hospital last night, but was expected to be discharged today.
