Chipper Jones is retired, freshly divorced, and apparently dating a Playboy model. The folks at Busted Coverage put it together that Larry Wayne is dating a woman named Taylor Higgins, whose stage name is Lexi Ray Taylor. Lexi Ray posed nude for Playboy Cyber and was their Coed of the Week for March 4 2010. She was listed as a nursing student at the University of Kentucky. Per Busted Coverage’s research, she also has a profile on a webcam site, though she has not logged on to that page since August. Higgins maintains two Twitter profiles. She has one in her performing name Lexi Ray Taylor, but she hasn’t updated that one since July 25. She also has a personal account where she has been freely tweeting about her dates with Chipper. She lists her location as Georgia for both accounts. Chipper tweeted on Nov. 16 to say that his divorce from ex-wife Sharon Logonov was finalized. Divorce finalized….had great time with ex-teammates and friends last nite. Happy 18th anny, Tongue and Groove! Keep doing your thang! — Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) November 16, 2012 It appears as if Jones and Higgins may have been dating since July. That is when her she seemed to stop posting to her Lexi Ray accounts, and also when she attended a Braves game. Per Higgins’ Twitter account, the two have celebrated Halloween together and gone hunting.
