On Lexington’s WLEX-TV Channel 18 News Monday night, May 8, 2000, they had a report on Brian and his family playing in a charity golf tournament in nearby Richmond, Kentucky. The report is done by anchor/reporter Tracy Kornet, a major Backstreet Boys fan. It shows Brian, Leighanne, Brian’s mom and dad (Jackie and Harold), his brother (Harold), and Harold’s fiancée, Tracy. It also features Tyke and Litty Leigh as Brian’s “babies” dressed in little bloomers. Brian is laughing and joking around especially with his dad who is his golf partner. Jackie and Leighanne are partnered and Harold and his fiancée, Tracy. Here is my transcript of the report: Tracy Kornet: Perfect golfing weather today but at one course in Richmond both the sun and the stars were out, in particular Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell and his brand-new bride-to-be. They were part of the Mutt Putt Charity Golf Tournament benefiting the Lexington Humane Society. And today they tee it up with us. It’s a story you’ll see only on L-E-X 18 News. Tracy Kornet (voice-over): Even on the first tee of a private Kentucky golf course Brian Littrell can’t escape the cheers of adoring fans. But these are by far his favorites, they’re family. Brian: I’ve always wanted, as having a career, I’ve always wanted to get to this point, in a career, where you can really enjoy yourself. Tracy Kornet (voice-over): Brian says he loves sharing the perks of his popularity with those he loves most - mom and dad, brother Harold and his new fiancée Tracy, Brian’s brand-new babies still in diapers (note from me: his Chihuahuas in bloomers), and the woman who captured his heart, fiancée, Leighanne. Leighanne: The reason I’m the luckiest girl in the world? Is because we love each other so much and the love is shared. Jackie: She’s just been a Godsend to us and Brian says she’s his best pal. Leighanne: He’s private as far as his personal life in public but he is funny, he’s spiritual, he’s good-hearted, good-natured. I am lucky! I got the best guy you’d ever want in your life and he’s mine! Tracy Kornet (voice-over); While Brian’s always been vocal about inheriting his parents’ musical talents, the 25-year-old Lexington native said his mom and dad have given him something more to aspire to. Not only a near perfect approach shot… Brian (joking about his dad’s awesome shot): I’m trying to get him to retire so he can become a better golfer. Tracy Kornet (voice-over): …but a legacy of love in their 29-year marriage. Brian: They’ve helped my brother and I so much in making us the men that we are today. Tracy Kornet (voice-over): That solid foundation is one of the many reasons Leighanne says she is thrilled to be a part of the Littrell family. Leighanne: They’re the family I always wanted. Tracy Kornet (voice-over) (showing Jackie with Leighanne and Harold’s Tracy): And why the feeling is clearly mutual. Tracy Kornet: A very sincere family. Brian and Leighanne met three years ago on the set of the Backstreet Boys music video, As Long As You Love Me. The couple is keeping mum about their wedding plans. Comment on this item.
