The Ole Miss Rebels closed out the season with a blowout 52-20 win over the Duke Blue Devils in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2. Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin was thrilled with his team's performance, hoping it sent a message to the College Football Playoff committee that left them out of the big dance.

After celebrating the team's win at EverBank Stadium with his daughter, Landry Kiffin, who's a student at Ole Miss, he flew to Southern California for another major occasion, his ex-wife Layla Kiffin's birthday.

Kiffin posted a simple tribute to Layla on Instagram, which he subsquently deleted. However, he eventually resposted the photo that drew an awkward reaction from the couple's youngest daugter, Presley Kiffin.

While Kiffin has dropped several hints that he and Layla might've reconciled, the 49-year-old coach seemed to confirm they're back together following the epic masked ball that was Layla's birthday party.

Kiffin posted a photo of his comment on Layla's Instagram page that she keeps private. He wrote, "What an amazing night. Was Great to see you surrounded by so much love. ❤️. The joy on your face reminded me of our wedding day when you walked down the aisle."

The Fresno State alum also insinuated that they planned the birthday pary together. "What a perfect venue!!! So glad we switched it to The Proper!!! You looked 30 🔥. Thank you for being my rock."
