Today, May 24, 2025, marks a monumental day for Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter, who not only made headlines as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft but also as a groom, marrying his longtime love, Leanna Lenee, in a beautiful ceremony in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Heisman Trophy winner and two-way football phenom celebrated this personal milestone surrounded by family, friends, and a wave of excitement from fans across the globe.
A Love Story That Started in High School
Travis Hunter, 22, and Leanna Lenee, 23, have been inseparable since their high school days in Georgia. Their journey from teenage sweethearts to engaged couple in February 2024 has been one of resilience, loyalty, and shared dreams. Despite facing public scrutiny—most notably over Lenee’s Heisman night antics in 2024, which Hunter fiercely defended—the couple’s bond has only grown stronger. “As long as she provides Travis Hunter what he wants, which is stability,” NFL analyst Jeff Barnes noted on the Smoke Something Drink Something podcast, highlighting the foundation of their relationship.
Lenee, who has been a constant presence at Hunter’s Colorado Buffaloes games and accompanied him to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, stole the show today with what sources describe as an “over-the-top perfection” wedding gown. A viral social media video captured the couple’s joy as they opened an extravagant wedding gift—a black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800, reportedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. While the gift’s donor remains unknown, speculation points to a possible gesture from Hunter’s teammate, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
A Family Affair with a Special Guest
The Chattanooga ceremony was a deeply personal affair, made even more meaningful by the presence of Hunter’s father, Travis Hunter Sr. Despite legal challenges stemming from gun and drug charges, Hunter Sr. received court permission to attend his son’s wedding, just as he did for the NFL Draft. This approval, granted by Florida Judge Howard Coates, underscored the significance of family for Hunter, who grew up in West Palm Beach. The attendance of Hunter’s mother, Ferrante Harris, and other close relatives added to the warmth of the occasion.
A Whirlwind Year for Hunter
Hunter’s wedding comes on the heels of an extraordinary year. From winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy to graduating from the University of Colorado and signing a projected $46.5 million contract with the Jaguars, the 22-year-old has been on a meteoric rise. His two-way prowess as both a wide receiver and cornerback has drawn comparisons to football legends, with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence praising the “juice” Hunter brings to the team. Off the field, Hunter’s humility and focus remain evident, with those close to him describing him as unchanged by fame.
The wedding also sparked heartfelt messages from the football community, including a cryptic yet warm note from Hunter’s former coach, Deion Sanders: “Happy Birthday Son. Love ya, man,” posted on X earlier this week. Fans on X echoed the sentiment, with posts like, “Congratulations to Travis Hunter and his fiancée Leanna Lenee, they are getting married this weekend in Tennessee!” from @RapgeneralsTV.
Looking Ahead
As Hunter and Lenee embark on this new chapter, their story resonates as one of love triumphing over challenges. The couple, who share a YouTube channel and have navigated public life together, are poised to build a future as bright as Hunter’s NFL career. While some X users humorously cautioned against marriage, others celebrated their commitment, with @dailyupdates04 writing, “Hope they have a great life together.”
Today’s wedding isn’t just a celebration of love but a testament to Hunter’s ability to balance stardom with personal milestones. As he prepares for his rookie season with the Jaguars, fans can’t help but root for this dynamic duo both on and off the field. Congratulations, Travis and Leanna—here’s to a lifetime of happiness!
