acksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter may be starting his professional football journey on a high note, but off the field, his personal life is facing immediate turbulence.
The 22-year-old two-way sensation, fresh off a Heisman Trophy win and a top draft pick selection, recently married Leanna Lenee in a glamorous ceremony. However, their newlywed bliss has quickly turned into a hotbed of online controversy.
NFL rookie
's fairytale wedding overshadowed by viral clip sparking trust concerns
A now-viral video from their wedding reception shows Lenee subtly dodging a kiss from Hunter during their first dance — a gesture that many fans have interpreted as a red flag. The incident, captured in a clip shared widely on social media, has stirred heated conversations about her intentions and commitment.
The internet's reaction has been swift and unforgiving. While the couple made a grand reveal of a new car by cutting a black ribbon at the reception, it was the dance-floor moment that stole the spotlight — for the wrong reasons. Social media users have accused Lenee of deliberately avoiding her husband's kiss, with some suggesting that the gesture signals deeper issues.
Critics have also reignited concerns over the couple's decision not to sign a prenuptial agreement.
Many fans have voiced unease over Hunter's financial future, arguing that his NFL earnings should be protected, especially given his fast-rising fame and recent multimillion-dollar contract.
Leanna Lenee's past comments fuel fan skepticism
Leanna hasn't been a stranger to public scrutiny. Back in December, she openly shared that she initially ignored Hunter's DM for two months, admitting, 'I thought he wasn't my type.' Though she later clarified, 'I don't have a physical type.
Period. No two men that I've previously dated look the same,' that remark did little to calm skeptical fans.
For many, these details are enough to question whether Lenee is genuinely in it for love — or if Hunter's spotlight played a bigger role in the relationship.
Amid the growing backlash, Travis Hunter has stood firm in his support for Lenee. He continues to defend her and their marriage, showing no public signs of wavering. However, with his NFL career just beginning and the spotlight only growing brighter, how this young couple navigates public pressure could shape not only their relationship, but also Hunter's image in the league.

Peyton Manning shares key Bill Belichick update that might disappoint fans
Peyton Manning shared some news that may disappoint football fans. Bill Belichick will not be returning to ManningCast for the 2025 NFL season. Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl champion, was a weekly guest on the show in 2024. He joined after leaving the New England Patriots and gave fans smart and honest football analysis. Many viewers loved his coaching stories and dry sense of humor. Now, Belichick has a new full-time job. He's the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels football team. That means he's too busy to be on TV every week. Also Read: NFL's innovative Toy Story Funday Football brings animated magic to Sunday's Falcons vs. Jaguars game Peyton confirmed the news during the Memorial Tournament pro-am, where he played golf with Nick Saban and Steph Curry. "Obviously, [Belichick] seems busy right now coaching college football," Peyton told 97.1 The Fan. "So, he won't be back this year. He'll be hard to replace, like, I thought his insight was great." ManningCast, which started in 2021, is part of Monday Night Football on ESPN. It's made by Peyton's company, Omaha Productions. He co-hosts the show with his brother, Eli Manning. The show mixes game analysis with jokes and fun interviews with famous guests. Belichick added a serious football voice to the mix during the 2024 season. Now that Belichick is gone, the show will go back to having different guests each week. "We'll try to probably go back to, kind of, rotating guests and, you know, having coaches and players, which I always like their insight," Peyton explained. "But also the actors and musicians that, you know, the common criteria to be a guest is you gotta love football. And I love, and Eli and I both love, being around people who love football as much as we do in all different walks of life." Belichick recently signed a five-year deal to coach the Tar Heels. It's his first college coaching job in many years. He is now focused on recruiting, building his coaching staff, and leading North Carolina in the ACC. Peyton didn't rule out Belichick coming back someday. But for now, he's fully focused on his new team. ManningCast will return for its fifth season on Monday, September 8, when the Minnesota Vikings play the Chicago Bears.

Lip reader reveals cheeky promise Travis Hunter's wife Leanna Lenee made at wedding
A lip reader has revealed what Travis Hunter's wife, Leanna Lenee, said to him after she appeared to dodge a kiss on their wedding day. The couple tied the knot last week at The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee. After saying their vows, Hunter surprised Lenee with a black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800 — a luxury SUV reportedly worth around $300,000. Their relationship has been under the spotlight lately, with critics online questioning Lenee's behavior toward Hunter. Some accused her of not showing enough support when he won the 2024 Heisman Trophy. The backlash got so loud that Hunter felt the need to defend her publicly. Still, at the wedding, the couple looked happy, surrounded by loved ones. During their first dance, they shared a private moment that caught people's attention — and now, a lip-reading expert named Nicola Hickling has shed light on what they actually said. As Hunter leaned in for a kiss, he appeared to say: 'Kiss me now babe.' But Lenee pulled back and, while shaking her head, seemed to reply: 'Not now, we're gonna make love all night,' as per Mirror report. Hunter didn't seem to mind. He smiled and responded: 'Yeah.' Also Read: Rome's 'Hollywood on the Tiber' plans comeback despite Trump tariff threat Later, the couple posted photos from the wedding on social media along with heartfelt messages. Hunter wrote, 'Just two kids living out everything they talked about at 18 & 19 years old. 224.' Lenee shared, 'On 02/26/2022 you first asked me to be your girlfriend. Now 3.5 years later, on 05/24/2025, I became you wife. You make me the happiest woman on this planet and I am so excited to spend forever with you.' Hunter and Lenee have been together since 2022, through his college football career at both Jackson State and Colorado. But lately, their relationship has faced criticism after a few tense moments were caught on camera. At the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York, Lenee made headlines when Colorado coach Deion Sanders had to nudge her to stand and clap for Hunter. A few days earlier, she was seen getting upset when fans asked Hunter for photos at a meet-and-greet. Hunter addressed the criticism during a Twitch stream, defending Lenee and pushing back at the negativity. 'You ain't never had no girl, so why y'all talking about me? Find something else to talk about,' he said.
