Moments that remind us that being a father is also an art and, for many of them, the most important act of all.

'I went to my first WAG event, so I'm going to show you everything I got,' Lenee said, referring to the goodie bags they received at the Seaside Soirée, which took place at Hawkers restaurant in Neptune. Advertisement Some of the goodies included skincare, beauty products, gift cards, cookies and bottles of tequila and vodka. Lenee also showed off a black bodysuit she customized, courtesy of Pressed, to add the Jacksonville area code, 904, on the front in cheetah print.

'A couple wives and girlfriends and fiancées — and retired wives were there so I got to meet a lot of them,' she said.

The event was orchestrated by Women of the NFL, a community and resource for women navigating NFL life — and hosted by Marissa Lawrence, the wife of Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Tiffany Upshaw, the wife of former Jets wideout Laveranues Coles and Shelley Causey McCray, the wife of former cornerback Demetrius McCray.

Leanna Lenee/TikTok In a separate video, Lenee explained that she was nervous and 'out of my comfort zone' to attend the event. 'I get nervous around people and I always feel like I come off as standoffish or mean,' Lenee said Wednesday while getting ready to attend the Jaguars' open practice. 'Because I'm not a person that's openly inviting or in tune — I don't put myself in conversations. But it's really because I'm so nervous. ' All the ladies here are very welcoming and were understanding of that. I think there was a lot of girls like me where we were kind of like nervous, but there were a lot of returning wives and, of course, they're comfortable with each other. And I know I'll get there… it was my first time meeting everyone.' She added that the women shared information on how to get game tickets and where the best seats in the stadium are located — along with the best places in Jacksonville for beauty appointments. Lenee returned to social media around the time of her wedding after going private in late 2024 due to public scrutiny over her relationship with Hunter. The Jaguars open the 2025 season against the Carolina Panthers in Jacksonville on Sept. 7.
