Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter is officially off the market after marrying his long-time girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, in May.
The 22-year-old, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, isn't shy about expressing his love for his wife, and previously stated that he believes they "are meant to be together."
On her 21st birthday in 2022, Travis said he was "so happy God" led him to meet Leanna and vowed to "always be yours", a promise he kept after proposing in 2024.

Background
Leanna was born on November 24, 2001, and will turn 24 in 2025. She graduated from Kennesaw State University in 2022, claiming that she finished her four-year bachelor's degree in just two years in a now-deleted Instagram post.
She is very supportive of her husband, despite being a Green Bay Packers fan, and admitted in 2022 that she hoped Travis would be drafted to her favorite team.
"Because I love the Packers and my godfather coached the Packers," she said in a YouTube video, while also admitting that if Travis was drafted to a team she didn't like, it would be "hard" to cheer for him.
Despite not getting her wish when Travis was drafted to the Jaguars, Leanna had nothing but praise for her husband. "I'm excited for him. He's worked his whole life for this moment," she said in May 2025's Travis Hunter Draft Day: The Documentary.

Relationship with Travis
Leanna met Travis when she was 19 years old and said that he came into her life at the "most unexpected time."
"I would constantly pray that God would give me a reason to keep moving forward so I can fulfill his plan for me," she wrote on Instagram in 2023. "That he would give me motivation to continue, and you were his answer."
Travis slid into Leanna's Instagram DMs, but she didn't respond to him for about two months. She eventually replied but told him she just wanted to be friends, so they spent the next two months building a friendship over text messages.
They started dating in February 2022 after Travis accompanied Leanna to a friend's birthday dinner because she didn't want to go alone, and they have been "in love ever since then."
"What it feels like when God allows you to meet the man of your dreams at 19 and every night together for the past 3 years has felt like a sleepover with your best friend," she wrote alongside a TikTok video in March 2024.

Sharing his own photos from their big day, Travis penned on Instagram: "Just two kids living out everything they talked about at 18 & 19 years old."

Fan backlash
Travis is protective of his wife and jumped to her defense in December 2024 after she was criticized by fans for her behavior when Travis won the 2024 Heisman Trophy, an annual award given to the most outstanding player in American college football.
A video surfaced on X of Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders leaning over to tell Leanna to stand up when Travis was called the winner. Then a second video surfaced of her appearing annoyed when he met with fans.
Travis addressed the fan backlash in a video on Twitch, saying: "I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl's been with me for five years," he said. "Y'all are just now starting to talk about me and just now starting to be with me. Come on, man."
He added: "Y'all hate on me and then y’all go hate on my girl. I feel the same pain that she feel. We're inseparable, we're with each other. If she hurting, of course I'm going to be hurting."
