As Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter steps into the NFL spotlight, he's also preparing for another life-defining moment — one that has nothing to do with football. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is set to marry his longtime girlfriend, Leanna Lenee , this weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's a milestone that comes just months after he hoisted the Heisman Trophy, cementing his place as one of college football’s most electrifying players.
Leanna Lenee and Travis Hunter’s weekend wedding turns heads after sports podcaster’s surprising revelation
While fans and analysts continue to dissect his future on the field, Travis Hunter is making it clear that off-field stability matters just as much to him — if not more.
Hunter and Leanna have been together since 2022, quietly building a bond that would weather the pressures of rising fame. Their engagement was announced in February last year, and ever since, Leanna has been a constant presence at Hunter’s side. She’s shared in his most triumphant moments, from celebrating his Heisman win to supporting him on NFL Draft night. And in a touching gesture, she even gifted him a Rolex and a bracelet to commemorate the beginning of his pro career.
Their journey is one of mutual support, and that’s precisely what makes their relationship unique. Critics may question the timing — with Hunter just beginning his NFL journey — but for him, the decision to marry now isn’t impulsive. It’s intentional.
“I’m going to marry her once my NFL career starts,” Hunter had declared last year. And true to his word, he's keeping that promise.
Jeff Barnes, host of the Smoke Somethin, Drink Somethin podcast, offered rare insight into what drives this relationship. In his words, “As long as she provides Travis Hunter what Travis Hunter wants, which is stability. Once he got that stability with her, he feels he plays his maximum football because she is beside him… It’s not about her, it’s about him.”
For Hunter, it’s clear: emotional consistency translates to peak performance. Barnes even noted that the wide receiver/cornerback didn't request a prenuptial agreement — a surprising move given the millions at stake. But to Hunter, true partnership isn’t about legal documents. It’s about trust and freedom.
“The real prenup,” as Barnes put it, is the ability to live without restriction — knowing that his partner won’t limit him, but instead, empower him.
Hunter’s father will be attending the wedding, thanks to a last-minute courtroom decision, adding a layer of emotional weight to an already meaningful event. While some public voices continue to scrutinize the couple’s relationship and question Leanna’s past, Hunter remains focused on what truly matters to him — peace, stability, and love.
For a 22-year-old stepping into one of the most demanding professions in the world, Hunter's priorities reflect maturity beyond his years. This weekend isn’t just about a wedding; it’s about building a life — one that’s rooted in trust, resilience, and a shared vision for the future.
And as Hunter steps into the next chapter — both as a pro athlete and a husband — one thing is certain: he’s not just playing to win games. He’s playing for something far deeper.
