Finley Elaine Griffin is the first daughter and second child of celebrity basketballers Blake Griffin and Brynn Cameron. Her parents used to be basketball couple goals, especially from the year 2009, through the early 2010s, and were even set to be married. Unfortunately, they called off their relationship in July 2017. The state of her parents’ relationship might be in shambles but that itself has nothing to do with young Finley who is reveling in her millionaire celebrity baby status.
Who is Finley Elaine Griffin?
Finley Eliane Griffin was born on September 26, 2016, to Blake Austin Griffin and Brynn Cameron. She is the second child of the couple and the third of her mother. Finley was born at a private hospital in Los Angeles, in the United States of America. She was born under the Libra sun sign and has biracial ethnicity. Her father Blake is of Afro-Haitian ethnicity, while her mother is a Caucasian woman. This makes Finley part Haitian, part Caucasian.
Finley is currently 7 years old and celebrates her birthday on 26th September. She has an older brother named Ford Wilson Griffin and another much older half-brother named Cole Cameron Leinart. She is not yet old enough to be in middle school and might still be receiving education through homeschooling.
Finley Elaine Griffin’s mother
Finley’s mother is Brynn Cameron. Brynn is a former basketball player and businesswoman known popularly in entertainment circles as Blake Griffin’s ex-fiancee and baby mama. She was born on July 8, 1986, in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, United States of America. Brynn’s father is Stan Cameron, and her mother’s name is Cathy Cameron. She was born under the Cancer zodiac sign and is of Caucasian ethnicity.
Brynn Cameron grew up alongside professional sports players and so it shouldn’t surprise you to know that she has two famous brothers who play football. Her brothers are Jordan Cameron and Colby Cameron, both of whom are NFL players. Like her brothers, Brynn also had a healthy interest in basketball and played for the USC Trojans basketball team when she was still in high school.
Brynn attended the Newbury Park High School where she matriculated in 2004. She then proceeded to the University of Southern California where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 2009. She combined her studies with basketball and was doing quite well at both until a hip injury put a stop to her professional career. It was around this time that she met her first boyfriend, Matt Leinart, a quarterback in the NFL.
Her whirlwind romance with Leinart resulted in a baby—Cole Leinart. However, shortly after she conceived Cole, they split up and have stayed apart ever since. With long blonde hair and gray-blue eyes, the mother-of-three is a classic American beauty with an ample weight of 56 kgs (123 lbs), and body measurements of 34 (bust), 26 (waist), and 32 (hips) inches.
Since she departed from basketball, Brynn has taken to other forms of work. She is recognized as a businesswoman with stakes in a variety of profitable companies. Her net worth as of 2022 is valued at $2 million.
Finley Elaine Griffin’s father
Finley Elaine Griffin’s father is Blake Griffin. He was born on March 16, 1989, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as one of five children. One of his most popular siblings is his older brother, Taylor Griffin. Taylor, like Blake, is also a professional basketball player. On his mother’s (Gail Griffin) side, Blake is Caucasian, but he inherited his Afro-Haitian heritage from his father’s (Tommy Griffin) side.
He attended Oklahoma Christian High School, before heading to Oklahoma College from 2007 to 2009. Blake began his professional basketball career while in college. He debuted in the NBA in 2011 and it was quite an impressive start. First, Blake was selected as an All-Star for the Los Angeles Clippers, then he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, and finally, he was named the NBA Rookie of the Year. Since March 2021, he has been playing for the Brooklyn Nets.
Blake Griffin stands at an impressive height of 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m). He weighs over 113 kg (250 lb), which isn’t surprising, given his height and career. Another impressive fact about Blake Griffin that we must not overlook perhaps is his behemoth net worth. As of 2022, Blake is estimated to be worth over $110 million, with an average annual salary of over $30 million.
How did Blake Griffin and Brynn Cameron meet?
As you already know, Blake Austin Griffin and his ex Brynn Cameron were off and on for years. They met in 2009 when Brynn was a college student. After realizing they had a shared passion for basketball, both of them began dating almost immediately. Their relationship was deemed headline-worthy, and the sports paparazzi had a field time reporting on the two of them.
In the space of seven years, both of them welcomed two children: Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin, on August 1, 2013, and Finley Elaine Griffin on September 26, 2016. Although their relationship was a bit rocky, with bouts of breakups in-between, they were able to hold things together for 7 solid years, and even famously got engaged. And then things fell apart.
What caused their separation?
In July 2017, no one saw it coming when Blake and Brynn suddenly called off their engagement. Unfortunately, theirs was a pretty nasty split and was far from amicable. According to several reports, Blake called the wedding off after Cameron allegedly refused to sign a prenuptial agreement.
The mother-of-three insisted that she and her fiance had had an oral agreement back in 2013 for her to quit her job to raise their kids so Blake could pursue his career fully. In exchange, Blake was to take complete care of her, by providing financial support, as well as a home for her.
Brynn revealed that the prenuptial agreement presented to her completely contradicted the oral agreement she’d had with Blake. The wedding was supposed to have been held in St. Barth’s Cathedral, Los Angeles, on July 28, 2017, but was called off 2 weeks before the date. As a result, they fell out completely, and Brynn even alleged that Blake completely stopped providing for the children.
Who has custody of Finley Elaine Griffin?
At the moment, Brynn is the one with custody of the kids. After her breakup with Blake, she moved to New York and settled in Manhattan. The custody arrangements of the former couple were fraught with plenty of issues ranging from non-alimony payments to lack of child support. Brynn ended up suing her ex-partner to force him to pick up his slack.
On August 2, 2018, it was announced that the two had finally settled their disputes and had come to an agreement on how to co-parent the two kids. It was reported that Brynn was to receive $258,000 a month as child support, in addition to having a fully furnished house, paid for by her multimillionaire baby father.
