Travis Hunter divorce rumors spark fan backlash at social media's obsession
(Image via Getty Images) When did we, as a collective, decide that an athlete's alleged marriage drama was worth a nationwide magnifying glass? That's the question fans are now asking as rumors about Colorado football star Travis Hunter's supposed divorce keep popping up online. While the internet thrives on a little gossip, many are calling out just how creepy the obsession has gotten and they're not wrong. Rumors about Travis Hunter's divorce have taken over social media feeds The talk started with a few cryptic posts and quickly turned into a full-blown internet frenzy. Multiple accounts began hinting that Hunter and his wife might be calling it quits, with screenshots and speculation flying faster than a 40-yard dash but here's the thing, there's been no official confirmation from either Hunter or his wife. This hasn't stopped gossip pages from turning every comment, every photo, and every absence from Instagram into 'proof' of a split. Fans are calling out the obsession, labeling it 'weird' and 'invasive' Not everyone's here for the drama. In fact, a growing number of fans have started pushing back, saying the whole thing feels uncomfortably personal. 'Y'all are way too invested in someone else's marriage,' one fan wrote, while another bluntly asked, 'Why does this even matter to you?' Others pointed out the double standard when regular people get divorced, nobody cares, but when it's a celebrity athlete, suddenly everyone's a private investigator. Sure, the public has always been curious about celebrity breakups. From reality TV stars to A-list actors, messy splits tend to get clicks. But with Hunter, a 21-year-old still building his career, fans say the narrative feels uncomfortably invasive especially when it's based on nothing confirmed. The constant picking apart of his personal life is leaving some wondering if sports fans are crossing the line from curiosity into obsession. Hunter is coming off an explosive season at Colorado and has already cemented himself as one of college football's most electrifying players. Yet, instead of hyping up his on-field performance, parts of the internet are deep-diving into his personal relationships. In the end, it's a reminder that athletes are still people and no matter how famous they are, their relationships deserve the same respect and privacy as anyone else's.

Prof. Charu Kapoor, class of '91, serving up Bollywood classics – with Amit Dhanda, class of '97, strumming away on the guitar Time blurred as St Stephen's alumni from different decades came together for a nostalgic lunch in Delhi recently. From meeting old friends to connecting with seniors, the afternoon was filled with meaningful conversations, music, and dance. Talking about how she never felt the need to go out during college, Arjuna award-winning cricketer Anjum Chopra recalled the popular Kamla Nagar as 'KNags' and said, "Bahar jaane ki zarurat hi nahi hai – college aa gaye toh bahar jaana hi kyun hai? College itself is an event."

Siddharth Singh Longjam, Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor in the Ministry of Defence, class of 1990, recalled his initial days. "When you sit in the cafe, you tend to overhear, or you are sitting and quietly listening to a lot of colleagues who are experts in speaking. That kind of learning experience is equivalent to reading hundreds of books every day," he shared. Dedicating his success to the college, economist Prasenjit Basu from the class of 1986, said, "You get to widen your intellectual horizons in college to an extent that is almost impossible to replicate anywhere else." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will shock you Boite A Scoop Undo This is a very special institution that shapes people's character Anjum Chopra, class of '97 Actor Abhinav Chaturvedi (L), class of '87, with economist Prasenjit Basu, (C) class of '86; Arjuna awardee, cricketer Anjum Chopra (R), class of '97 'The proud feeling of being a Stephanian always remains' Whether you graduated in the 70s or are a current Stephenian, you know it's cafe and not a canteen, residence and not a hostel.
