As of last month, Tommy Tuberville did not own a single square foot of property in Alabama after selling parcels in Macon and Tallapoosa counties for $1.4 million, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday.

And while a spokesman for Alabama’s senior senator maintained to the Post that Tuberville’s primary residence is an Auburn house owned by his wife and son, campaign finance documents and property records suggest Tuberville’s main home is in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, the paper reported.

The sale of the Alabama properties were notarized by a Santa Rosa Beach resident, which the Post reported suggested the senator was in Florida when the transaction went through on July 14.

The report went on to say that Tuberville’s wife, Suzanne Tuberville, is a licensed real estate agent in Florida and has worked for a Santa Rosa Beach real estate firm since the start of the year. She does not have an Alabama real estate license, according to the Post.

Campaign finance reports showed Tuberville racked up monthly expenses for travel to Santa Rosa Beach while Alabama travel was not as extensive.

The Post noted American Airlines stopped flying from Washington, D.C. to Columbus, Georgia — the airport closest to Auburn — in the beginning of the year. Yet Tuberville’s campaign made seven purchases with the airline — which flies nonstop from D.C. to Panama City Beach, near Santa Rosa Beach — in 2023, according to the report.

A spokesman for the senator said the Santa Rosa Beach property, which Tuberville has owned for two decades, is a vacation home that is “driving distance” to his primary residence in Auburn.

“Coach has purchased and invested in real estate for decades,” Tuberville communications director Steven Stafford said in an email to the Post. “Coach has owned the property in Santa Rosa Beach for two decades — he bought it while he was coaching at Auburn. He goes there upon occasion if he has a free weekend. It is within driving distance of Auburn. I’m sure many Senators have vacation homes.”

Neither Suzanne Tuberville nor the couple’s son, Tucker Tuberville, responded to questions from the Post, the paper said.

The Post noted it takes four hours to drive from Auburn to Santa Rosa Beach.

Of the Auburn property, Stafford said Tuberville “purchased his current Auburn residence for his son when his son was a student at Auburn. After his son graduated, he moved out. After Coach retired from coaching, Coach moved into the Auburn house. The Auburn property is his primary residence — although his job requires him to be in Washington four days a week when the Senate is in session.”

But the Post said records do not match Stafford’s story, pointing out that Tucker Tuberville graduated in May 2016, according to his LinkedIn page. That means the home was bought nine months after Tucker graduated, the post said.

After graduation, Tucker worked for his father as an assistant football coach at the University of Cincinnati from May to December that year.

Meanwhile, the senator’s other son, Troy, did not start attending Auburn until 2018 and graduated in 2021; he registered to vote using the same address as his father — this Auburn property, He did not respond to a request for comment.

Stafford later acknowledge the home was purchased after Tucker graduated.

“His son lived at the Auburn house briefly and then Coach moved there afterward,” Stafford said, according to the Post.

The paper’s story also referenced a promotional video Tuberville made in July 2017 for ESPN to announce his hiring as a college football analyst. In the video, Tuberville says, “Six months ago, after 40 years of coaching football, I hung up my whistle and moved to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, with the white sands and blue waters. What a great place to live.”:
