The Jacksonville Jaguars made one of Travis Hunter's long-time dreams come true when they traded up to select him with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Less than a month later, Hunter is celebrating another key life milestone. He is set to marry his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, on Saturday.

The ceremony is reportedly expected to take place in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Friends and family of the couple will be in attendance for the event, including Travis Hunter Sr., who was granted permission to attend his son's wedding after also being allowed to attend the 2025 NFL Draft.
Of course, no wedding would be complete without wedding gifts. To that end, Hunter went the extra mile - no punt intended - for his new wife. Hunter surprised Lenee with a Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800, which is valued anywhere between $400,000 and $650,000.
Hunter Jr. and Lenee – whose full name is Leanna De La Fuente – began dating in 2022, several months after Hunter first reached out to Lenee on Instagram.

Initially, Lenee didn't respond to Hunter's message.
"He just wasn't my type," Lenee said in a video the two posted to YouTube in October 2022.

However, she eventually did send Hunter a message and the two established a friendship. They texted frequently over a two-month period, with both joking Hunter was in the "friend zone" during that time.
Things changed after he accompanied Lenee to a friend's birthday party, to which she didn't want to go alone.
"He went with me and then, we was in love," Lenee said.
The two officially started dating on Feb. 26, 2022, as the two shared in social media posts celebrating their anniversary.
The couple became engaged in 2024, as Lenee confirmed in a post to her Instagram.

"A million times, yes," the caption read.
