Travis Hunter's six-figure wedding gift to Leanna Lenee adds fairytale twist to NFL rookie's love story
Travis Hunter is not just making headlines on the football field—he's now a married man, adding a personal milestone to an already extraordinary year. Less than a month after being selected No.
2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie cornerback and former Colorado Buffaloes star exchanged vows with longtime love Leanna De La Fuente. Their picturesque wedding, held in Athens, Tennessee, became an instant buzz on social media, with fans and celebrity guests alike celebrating the union.

The festivities were anything but ordinary. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the event blended luxury and intimacy.
Hellion 'Boog' Knight, Young Money APAA's head of operations, offered a glimpse into the pre-wedding moments, sharing footage of Hunter and his groomsmen prepping in the highlands. Hunter's sleek all-white suit, designed by BarberG, also made its Instagram debut as excitement built around the high-profile ceremony.
Among the guests was Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne, whose presence only elevated the star power of the occasion.
Adding to the emotional depth was the attendance of Travis Hunter Sr., who had been granted permission by a Florida judge just days earlier to witness his son's big day.
The journey to this moment has been as remarkable as Hunter's football career. Hunter and De La Fuente began dating in 2022 after meeting online, though their relationship didn't have the most conventional start. 'He just wasn't my type,' De La Fuente had admitted in a candid YouTube video from October 2022.
Yet, Hunter's persistence helped him move from the friend zone to forever.
Their love story withstood public scrutiny, especially during Heisman weekend when De La Fuente faced criticism that Hunter swiftly and passionately addressed on social media. She stood by his side on draft night as he received a life-changing opportunity with the Jaguars and was projected to earn a staggering $46.5 million. The same night, she stunned in an elegant black dress and gifted him something special—only to be matched later by what came next.
During the wedding celebration, a now-viral clip captured the couple unveiling a jaw-dropping surprise: a black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800. The luxury vehicle, which starts at around $716,000, left guests in awe. While it's unclear who gifted the high-end ride—possibly new quarterback Trevor Lawrence or even Hunter himself—the moment added a dazzling touch to an already extravagant evening.
From college stardom and NFL dreams to a fairy-tale wedding, Travis Hunter's life is unfolding like a blockbuster. Now officially Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, the couple begins a new chapter—this time, off the field but every bit as unforgettable.

Amitabh Bachchan's dance brought Saroj Khan back to Bollywood after she quit, moved abroad after marriage: ‘He said I can't dance, have two left feet'
Saroj Khan's life was nothing less than a tragic movie and while she eventually gained success in the movies as one of the best choreographers of her times, she went through a traumatic time before she achieved that feat. In a recent interview, actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar spoke about a chapter of Saroj's life when she left everything in Bollywood behind and moved to the Middle East for her family. She had made peace with her regular life until she watched Amitabh Bachchan dance to 'Khaike Paan Banaras Wala' in the film Don. Farhan shared that it was watching Bachchan dance with glee and abandon that prompted her to come back to Mumbai and become a choreographer in Hindi movies. During an interaction on the YouTube channel Tried & Refused Productions, Farhan shared he did Nach Baliye with Saroj in the early 2000s and at the time, he was scripting the new version of Don, starring Shah Rukh Khan. Farhan recalled Saroj talking to him about his project and sharing her personal memory of the film. He said, 'Saroj ji told me, 'I got married and went to Middle East. I had left choreography.' She used to be a background dancer, then she became a choreographer and then she got married and she moved. She left India to stay in the Middle East and she was living there.' Farhan continued, 'Saroj ji told me, 'This film Don released in 1978 and I saw the song Khaike Paan Banaras Wala and I realised, this man, he is having such a great time dancing on this song. And I knew him, he always used to say I don't know how to dance. I have two left feet.' Don was actually the first film in which Amitabh Bachchan danced. All his previous films Zanjeer, Deewar, Trishul were him playing angry young man. She said, 'I saw that I became so happy. The joy of dancing and choreography came up in me again. So I decided to come back and started choreographing in Hindi films again.'' Farhan recalled that he initially struggled to bring the iconic song into his remake but eventually managed to do so. The director then asked Saroj Khan to choreograph the song in his film. 'For her, it was a life coming full circle moment and I think she did an outstanding job and Shah Rukh just let go and he had a blast,' he said. Saroj Khan passed away in July 2020 at 71.

Travis Kelce Opens Up About Falling in Love With Taylor Swift: "It Was Organic"
National Football League star Tavis Kelce, who is currently dating Taylor Swift, went on record to share how the two fell in love. The NFL player, 35, recalled how he "fell in love" with the pop superstar, 35, in an interview with GQ. Sharing the two connected organically, Travis Kelce shared, "Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based on the people we were sitting in a room together with." Despite their very different careers - her sold-out stadium tours and his high-stakes NFL games - Travis Kelce sees parallels in their worlds. He cited their similarities as the primary reason for the relationship. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) "We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are," he shared. "We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off." The couple confirmed dating each other in October 2023 when they attended the Saturday Night Live afterparty hand-in-hand. This was around the time when he was fresh off his team's Super Bowl LVII win, and Swift was in the initial months of the Eras Tour. But reports suggest that the two started dating much before the official announcement. The couple also made their red carpet debut at the NFL players' Tight End University, a three-day summer training camp in Nashville in June 2025.
