Meet Rebecca Liddicoat, fiancee of Baylor University quarterback and 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. Robert and Rebecca have dated for several years.
After Griffin’s team (Baylor) qualified for a bowl game last season in October 2010, he got on his knees and popped the question to his girlfriend Rebecca of Boulder, Colorado.
During an interview with Star-telegram.com’s Dwain Price, Griffin broke down how he proposed to girlfriend Rebecca.
“Well, there’s lies involved in proposals, so I told her after the game that I had to go to the (indoor football practice) facility,” Griffin said. “I told her me and the team leaders had to do something in there.
“So I told her I could do mine (Saturday night), and they were going to do theirs (Sunday), which makes it a bold-face lie. But she believed it, so I told her to come in there.”
“I went in the bathroom and my dad gave me the ring, and I walked in the indoor (facility), and I had candles everywhere,” Griffin said. “I had one of my teammates playing the guitar, so I talked to her and serenaded her. I walked into the middle where her family was standing with candles and I popped the question.
“I couldn’t see her face to see her crying, because it was so dark. But when I kissed her I felt the wetness on her cheeks.”
“She said yes and she cried,” Griffin said. “So I did a pretty good job.”
Griffin told Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that no wedding date has been set yet.
“I’ve got to get out of college to provide for my family before I get married,” Griffin said. “I’m still going to school after this.”
On December 10, 2011, Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player from Baylor University to win the award. More than likely, Griffin will enter the NFL Draft after this season.

Why is it that every time a successful black man is with a white woman a lot of black women act ignorant and jealous ? Get over it. Go back to your thugs… They look like a really nice couple. I wish them good luck in the future.
Has any of you out there commenting ever thought that maybe Robert and Rebecca’s Christain-spirtual goals are on the same page? The young lady “is” attractive, she’s just not over exposing herself and not painting herself up like a hooker-n-heat! I happened to notice the length of her dresses and the somewhat conservative style of her overall attire. And for you “Black male star going after the white trophy girl” hounds, maybe you should find out who he was dating before and why that relationship turned out so bad for him. The guy graduated HS at 17, got his BA in 3 years and is going to get his masters in 5. He’s reportedly been very active doing community service work, alone with being a multi-sport superstar. That tells me that he didn’t have much time to do a lot of date-social partying, so unless his former girlfriend is as devout a Christian as he seems to be, she was most likely not feeling his lifestyle and that feeling would most certainly applies to most black honeys. Get the whole back-story and then make your comment!
and another thing, “couldn’t find a black girl. You are stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geeeeeez, I’m so freekin sick of ignorant people assuming that people choose a girlfriend/spouse based on their tits ass or color. It is obvious that those who judge are jealous or just plain dumb
What really matters is that he is happy regardless of race… I also applaud his admiration of super huge boobs… Good job RG3!!!
COULD’NT FIND A BLACK WOMEN HUH….SO SAD
Looks like Griffin likes the big ass tittays…
Cant say I disagree with him…
Nope… thats just your paranoia. A vast majority of black pro athletes have black wives. You only have to look at this very website. But leave it up a black woman with low self esteem to make noise about the few who marry interracially.
looks like a play out of oj the juices book. what is with these footbal players,what aint no black cheerleaders?
