'We tried to warn him': Fans accused Travis Hunter's wife Leanna Lenee that she's after his $40M NFL fortune

Time of India2 days ago
When Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee married on May 24, 2025, the ceremony in Chattanooga closed a chapter that had played out publicly for more than a year. What might have been a private milestone instead amplified long-running online debate about timing, finances and the risks young athletes face when personal and professional lives collide.

Travis Hunter's wedding before his NFL debut: why fans worried about prenups and timing
Although Hunter and Lenee had been together since 2022, social media lit up with concern as their wedding. Commenters urged caution — 'We tried to warn him,' and 'Just make sure she signed that paper work (Prenup) lil bro just in case.'

Other critics piled on with blunt takes: 'Just give her half now… Cut ya loses now boy. Why go through the unnecessary turmoil,' and 'Smh just get her a ring. Dont need the courts in your business.
You just secured her future and you ain't step foot in the field yet.'
These reactions reflected a common pattern: fans seeing a massive career windfall (Hunter was selected No. 2 overall) and immediately connecting it to long-term financial risk.
How social media moments shaped public doubt and what the marriage signaled
There were specific incidents that fueled skepticism — a heated on-field exchange late in Hunter's college career and footage from the Heisman ceremony where some viewers judged Lenee's reaction.
Critics resurfaced past clips and the couple's YouTube 'GET TO KNOW US' backstory where Lenee admitted, 'I just didn't respond to him, he wasn't my type,' to build a narrative that felt, to many online, rushed or transactional. The pair briefly deactivated Instagram amid the backlash; Hunter later reactivated his verified page after encouragement from Coach Prime while Lenee set hers to private.

Beyond the noise, the marriage also illustrated how athletes' personal choices get reframed as financial strategy once pro contracts arrive — Hunter's rookie deal was projected at more than $40 million, a sum that magnified every comment and conspiracy.

Farah Khan, her cook Dilip indulge in street shopping at Janpath market, staying in disguise

Farah Khan , the celebrated filmmaker and choreographer, gave Delhiites a surprise recently when she was spotted at the bustling Janpath Market in Delhi, indulging in good old-fashioned street shopping. After almost 20 years, Farah returned to the iconic market and this time she wasn't alone. Accompanying her was none other than a celebrity cook, Dilip who is just as famous for his culinary skills as he is for his easy camaraderie with the stars. In refreshing ways, the duo chose to undercover in casual disguises, blending into the crowd of everyday shoppers. Farah, known for her larger-than-life sets and choreography, was seen sifting through stacks of colourful bedsheets and quirky doormats, proving that even a star with her stature enjoys the thrill of a good bargain. It was heartwarming to see the celebrated director doing what most middle-class families in India do, strolling through lanes, checking fabrics with a keen eye, and probably bargaining a little with the shopkeepers. Janpath, known for its eclectic mix of affordable treasures, seemed to bring out a side of Farah that was relatable and charming. Farah has always been admired for her no-nonsense wit and her ability to laugh at herself. This candid shopping trip after two decades away from Janpath only adds another layer to her persona that is grounded, practical, and full of life. Farah Khan's vlogs are currently the biggest hit on YouTube. Especially her cook, Dilip, has become a star overnight and even does a lot of paid brand endorsements. Farah truly has introduced another star! "Get the latest updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
