Travis Hunter marries fiancée Leanna De La Fuente ahead of first Jaguars training camp
Travis Hunter will enter his first NFL training camp as a married man.
The Jacksonville Jaguars rookie married his fiancée Leanna De La Fuente on Saturday in a ceremony in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a month after becoming the No. 2 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The celebration included the couple cutting the ribbon on one heck of a gift: a BRABUS XL 800, a car with a price tag starting at over $700,000. It's unclear if the gift is from Hunter or someone else, but it made for quite a reveal.
In attendance was Hunter's father Travis Sr., who was granted permission by a judge to attend as part of his supervised release from a drug possession and a gun charge conviction.
De La Fuente said in a YouTube stream that the couple met over Instagram, with Hunter sending her a direct message. She said she initially didn't respond — "He wasn't my type" — but eventually sent a message back two months later. The pair became friends and texted for another two months before they started dating:
"Finally, I had to go to a friend's birthday dinner and I didn't want to go by myself, so he was like 'Oh I'll go with you." He went with me and then we were in love."

According to one of their Instagram posts, their relationship began on Feb. 26, 2022, when Hunter was still at Jackson State under head coach Deion Sanders. They got engaged in February 2024.

De La Fuente has been a regular on Hunter's social media channels as he's risen from top college prospect to top NFL draft pick, and vice versa. That hasn't been without incident, such as when Hunter himself had to speak out when De La Fuente caught a bizarre amount of criticism for her demeanor at the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
Hunter is currently preparing for his first NFL season, in which he will attempt to become the sport's first true two-way star in decades. The Jaguars have a plan in place for him to join both the offense and the defense, but it still means that the 22-year-old will essentially be doubling up on the already arduous training camp process.
Jaguars training camp is scheduled to begin on July 24.

Jared Leto Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations From Several Women
Actor Jared Leto has been a Hollywood celebrity for decades. With so many notable roles under his belt, including several divisive endeavors including the Joker in Suicide Squad and the titular character in Morbius , he has become a household name. Now Jared Leto is facing sexual misconduct allegations from several different women. The allegations were shared by a total of nine women via Air Mail. The outlet not only alleges that these nine women were treated inappropriately by Leto, but that he also made advances towards some of them when they were minors. Ages of the women during these alleged encounters were said to be 16 and 17. 'It's been an open secret for a long time,' one of the women stated while remaining anonymous. The outlet includes such allegations as a woman saying she was asked sexual questions by Leto at 16-years-old, another woman saying he walked out of a room nude in front of her when she was 17-years-old, and that he exposed himself and masturbated before placing an 18-year-old girl's hand 'on him.' In response to the claims, a representative for Leto 'expressly' denied them. They responded to some of the specific allegations made by model Laura La Rue, who would have been 16 in 2008, who also claims to have met Leto at an animal rights benefit before connecting via email and eventually she met him at his studio in April 2009. There she says he was 'flirting' with her. Leto's representative insisted that their 'communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate' and that La Rue 'later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.' Meanwhile, La Rue denies ever applying for that position and alleges that she was the 17-year-old who saw him walk out of a room nude 'like it was normal.' She added: 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.' Another woman claimed to have received a phone call from the Tron: Ares actor when she was 16 in 2008, having given him her number after he approached her at Urth Caffé in Los Angeles, and that he eventually called her with the 'weirdest, grossest voice.' She claims to not 'know if he was on drugs.' In response, Leto's representative responded to say that Leto 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.' The woman further elaborated how the alleged phone calls from Leto continued for the next three weeks, with her mother claiming to have also overheard one of the calls. Here's what the woman said: 'And the conversations turned sexual,' she claimed. 'He'd ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a d—?' ' She added: 'He changed — his voice, the way he talked. It scared me. That was the first time I thought, 'Oh my God, that's not just in movies.' ' Leto's representative continued to deny these allegations, with Nightlife promoter Brent Bolthouse also claiming that he never saw skinny-dipping at Leto's house, a location that one of the allegations referenced as having a party with girls younger than 18 that were being motivated to skinny dip. As such, we'll have to see how this situation continues to develop. For now, Leto's representatives are adamant about their denials. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Jared Leto and the sexual misconduct allegations as we have them.
