Greetings from Africa. Wish you were here!
Tiki Barber and his young blond mistress got cozy during a jaunt to the sizzling-hot locale — while his pregnant wife stayed home with their kids in frigid New York City, candid snapshots of the trip reveal.
Traci Lynn Johnson, a former NBC intern, even posted the “smoking gun” photos on her Facebook page — bragging to the world that she and her married ex-Giants paramour were very much a happy couple, a source told The Post.
“There was one, it looked like she was a little tipsy and she had her arms around him and was kissing him,” said a woman who had access to her Facebook page.
“I was just surprised. I thought it was a pretty bold move, because, you know, he’s a married man.”
During the trip to Senegal in western Africa in early December, Barber tried to evade suspicion by introducing his leggy gal pal as his “personal assistant.”
The jaunt included a private visit with the country’s president, Abdoulaye Wade, in his executive office.
Johnson, who is only 23, could barely hide her girlish crush when she poked fun at the revealing photos in a comment on her page.
“She wrote — ‘I went to Africa, and didn’t even see a giraffe,’ or something very cutesy,” the peeved source said.
But shortly after posting the snapshots, Johnson — who may have started dating the former Big Blue running back as early as 2008, while she was a college coed — had a change of heart and stripped the photos off her Facebook page.
She did keep one photo on the site — a pic of Barber’s baby blue Maserati, which she identified as her “boyfriend’s whip.”
The Post revealed earlier this week that Barber, currently a NBC “Today Show” correspondent, has dumped his wife Ginny while she is eight months pregnant with twins. He copped to his affair with Johnson, a 2008 graduate of Mount St. Mary College in upstate Newburgh.
The betrayed Ginny has became even more upset in recent days because she learned their affair likely predated the onset of her pregnancy last fall.
“Ginny is extremely distraught over Tiki’s cheating,” a friend close to the jilted woman told The Post.
