BATON ROUGE, LOUSIANA: Football coach Brian Kelly's children recently debunked the report made by an outlet which stated that Brian and his wife of 28 years, Francisca Craig Kelly are getting separated. It was also reported that Brian had already filed for a divorce.

The news, which was reported by ABC affiliate WBRZ, provided court records and reported that Kelly and Francisca, who is also known as Pacqui, reconciled and will seek to have the case withdrawn from the courts. The head football coach of Louisiana State University reportedly filed for a petition on Monday, February 6 and they were scheduled to get physically separated on Thursday, February 9.

The court had apparently issued a temporary restraining order to protect Brian's assets at his request according to the legal documents. A hearing date is also set in March to determine who will be allowed to use the couple’s East Lakeshore Drive home.

Who are Brian Kelly's children?

Brian shares three children with his wife Francisca. The couple has two sons, namely, Partick Kelly, Kenzel Kelly, and a daughter named Grace Kelly. Patrick is currently working as a recruiting analyst for the LSU football program while Kenzel is known to be a member of the 2021 GVSU football team.

What did Brian Kelly's children say?

Patrick, who like his father works with the LSU football program, recently took to Twitter and shared a heart-warming photo of his parents walking arm-in-arm to a restaurant. He captioned the post, “fake news” with a pair of smiling emojis in a bid to debunk reports concerning his parents' divorce.



 

Grace posted a separate photo of her parents smiling together at the table and tweeted, “Things look fine to me.” In response to a tweet that said, “Two of Brian Kelly’s children are now publicly disputing the divorce report from WBRZ,” Kenzel wrote, “Three.”



 



 

Brian married his wife in July 1994 and they did not say anything related to their divorce publicly. The 61-year-old served as head football coach at Notre Dame for 12 years. He joined the Tigers in November 2021, replacing their former coach, Ed Orgeron. Brian signed a 10-year, $95 million deal with LSU, and earned $9 million in his first season with the Tigers. The contract included lucrative bonuses and a million-dollar loan to buy a home in Baton Rouge.
