Matt Leinart, Ex-Girlfriend Expecting!
August 30th, 2006 by Michael Stephens
In the Rose Bowl, he was forced to call the Texas Longhorns his daddy. Now former USC quarterback Matt Leinart is going to be a daddy.
Leinart, 23, who graduated from USC in December 2005 and was the first round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals this spring, has been enjoying the life of a typical college student, partying hard and canoodling with many ladies.
A close friend of Nick Lachey and one of People’s 50 Most Beautiful People of 2006, Leinart has been linked romantically to Paris Hilton, Kristin Cavallari and others. But his baby’s mama is Brynn Cameron (above), a 20-year-old USC junior and member of the school’s basketball team. She plans to sit out the upcoming season.
“It’s an exciting time in their life. They have support from their families,” a source tells People.
Leinart and Cameron dated while both were at USC but broke up last year, according to the Ventura County Star. Yet according to Sports Truth math, they’ve apparently been together in some capacity since then. Are we wrong?
“It might not be the best timing in the world, but we are obviously very happy to have a new baby in the family,” Cameron’s father, Stan, told the Star. “Brynn just found out about a month ago and told the team on Monday… Brynn does not want to get married. She wants to finish school and let Matt do his thing and then figure it out.”
While this wouldn’t appear to be good news for Leinart’s football career, reports out of Arizona say the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner has already roared past John Navarre on the depth chart and is a backup the coaching staff has confidence in if something should happen to Kurt Warner.
“He’s very comfortable on how to go out and play the game,” coach Dennis Green said.
Playing in a pro-style offense at USC has hastened Leinart’s development, as he has appeared comfortable and poised on the field at a time when most rookies are drowning in uncertainty.
A self-described playbook junkie, Leinart immersed himself in Arizona’s offensive schemes even before his agent hammered out the terms of his contract with the team. Unlike his ex, Paris, it appears this guy knows where to draw the line between partying and responsibility. Sort of.
