Who is Gemi Bordelon? Former LSU footballer's wife attracts fan attention after viral 'Get The Gat' video

In 2020, the LSU Tigers men's football team paid a courtesy visit to the White House after their national championship victory over Clemson. They then posed for a quick 'Get the Gat' video that went viral, but not for the usual reasons.

As you can see, a woman was seen dancing with the players in the video. Eventually, internet sleuths figured out who she was: Gemi Bordelon, an American businesswoman who has ties to the LSU men's football program.

Gemi is the wife of Ben Bordelon, a former member of the LSU Tigers football team and former NFL player for the San Diego Chargers to boot.

He played offensive guard and tackle in his four years at LSU, earning a second-team All-SEC honor in 1996 (via BuzzSouthAfrica).

Gemi Bordelon, who was born in Louisiana in 1975, was reportedly ID'd online by her daughter Brooke after the video went viral:

Why was Gemi Bordelon at the White House?

According to a report by Heavy, Gemi Bordelon was at the White House during the Tigers' courtesy call in 2020 because she and her husband had ties to the Louisiana congressional delegation.

Bordelon has three children with her husband Ben, and the family lives in Lafourche Parish. This is close to the hometown of former LSU Tigers coach Ed Orgeron.

Gemi's son Brett 'Bo' Bordelon is an offensive lineman for the Tigers this season (via NOLA).

Her husband Ben is the CEO and president of the company Bollinger Shipyards — a family-run business. But if the viral TikTok (and familial ties) is any indication, then the Bordelons are avid Tigers fans rooting for the team this year.
