Finley Elaine Griffin: Everything You Need to Know About Blake Griffin’s Daughter
By Sarah Jenkins
The stability Finley enjoys today was forged through an intense, highly publicized legal period. Griffin and Cameron began dating in 2009, weathering an on-and-off relationship that included an engagement and the birth of their two children. The engagement broke off abruptly in the summer of 2017, coinciding with Griffin’s high-profile dating life and subsequent relocation to Detroit.
In early 2018, Cameron filed a civil suit in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging breach of oral contract and seeking financial support for their children. Media outlets sensationalized the proceedings, with unverified reports claiming Griffin was ordered to pay astronomical monthly child support figures of $258,000.
Both parties took the rare step of publicly debunking those numbers. In a joint clarification, the former couple confirmed that the reported figures were entirely inaccurate. By August 2018, Griffin and Cameron reached a private, amicable settlement. The resolution established joint legal and physical custody, created a structured schedule split between the school year and off-season, and established long-term trusts to secure educational and medical expenses for both Finley and her brother.
| Milestone Phase | Key Event / Development | Family & Legal Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| August 2013 | Birth of Ford Wilson Griffin | First child born to Blake Griffin and Brynn Cameron in Los Angeles. |
| September 2016 | Birth of Finley Elaine Griffin | Second child born, completing the immediate sibling pair. |
| January, August 2018 | Civil Dispute & Confidential Settlement | Parties settled privately; established 50/50 joint physical and legal custody. |
| April 2024, Present | Griffin's NBA Retirement & Family Focus | Elimination of grueling NBA travel schedule; primary base solidified in Southern California. |
Since that settlement, the co-parenting arrangement has operated seamlessly outside courtrooms. Both parents live within close driving distance in Los Angeles, allowing the children to move between households without disrupting their schooling or friendships.
