Who is Laken Snelling dating? University of Kentucky cheerleader drops out of school after baby's death
Laken Snelling, a cheerleader at the University of Kentucky, was arrested after her infant was found dead in a closet.
Laken Snelling, the University of Kentucky cheerleader whose infant was found dead in a closet, had been dating an ex-collegiate basketball player, NY Post reported, citing the romantic pictures that the duo posted online.
Few months before her arrest, Snelling's boyfriend, Connor Jordan, was prominently featured in a few posts on the social media accounts of the 21-year-old cheerleader.
Snelling is suspected of concealing the baby boy in a towel, placing it in a trash bag, and storing it in her closet at her off-campus apartment in Lexington. However, it was not immediately apparent if he was the child's father.
In a TikTok posted in June, Jordan was seen holding Snelling's hands and embracing her in a field.
In another video, he was seen dancing with Snelling while kissing her cheek.
Jordan, a former basketball player for King University and Tusculum University in Tennessee, seems to have removed his own social media profiles following the arrest of Snelling.
