Travis Hunter’s Wife Drama

NFL star makes headlines on and off the field
Travis Hunter is a professional football dual-position athlete, capable of lining up at cornerback and wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. Seen as a generational prospect of an athlete, he’s been in headlines on and off the field.

He played college football for the Jackson State Tigers and the Colorado Buffaloes, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2024, which led to his being drafted as the #2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars traded up to the #2 spot to acquire him from the Cleveland Browns. Hunter had recently signed a four-year, $46.65 million fully guaranteed contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Their Marriage Sparks Debate
Travis Hunter, 22, and his wife, Leanna Lenee, 23, have recently been back in the spotlight—this time, due to a resurfaced emotional video.

In early 2022, Travis Hunter DM’ed Leanna Lenee, and at first, she didn’t pay it any mind. She then decided to respond, and they began communicating, initially as friends. Their bond deepened after they started their romantic relationship.

But it’s not easy being in a relationship in the spotlight, as both Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee have faced a lot of criticism for decisions they’ve made. Many rumors have surfaced, ranging from cheating allegations to claims of being a gold digger. But Travis and Leanna pay it no mind, often trying to distance themselves from social media. Only they know how they feel about each other and shouldn’t care about what others think.

Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee decided to get married in May 2025, at The Barn at Faith Farms in Tennessee. This gives him an estimated net worth of around $6 million. This sparked controversy, as Travis Hunter decided not to have a prenup with his wife, Leanna Lenee.

Travis Hunter revealed he didn’t ask for a prenup when marrying Leanna Lenee because he fully trusts her and believes she’s with him for love, not money. They’ve been together since before his fame and NFL money. He’s been quoted as saying:

“I trust her… She’s been here with me from the start. I don’t need a prenup.”

It was a very emotionally driven decision, and it would’ve been legally smart for athletes to protect future earnings often.

Viral video fuels rumors

Recently, Leanna shared a TikTok video of herself in tears, which she supposedly started recording back in December 2024. In the caption, she reflected on her personal and spiritual growth over the past six months, attributing her transformation to her faith and her distance from social media.

“I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way.”

She expressed a desire to comfort her past self and emphasized the peace she found through her devotion to religion and her avoidance of social media.

The video quickly went viral, sparking a wave of speculation and criticism online as many viewers were quick to judge and misinterpret the clip as a sign of marital issues, with comments suggesting an impending divorce. Leanna addressed the backlash by clarifying that the video was old and highlighting her spiritual journey and growth since then.
