Less than one month after being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Travis Hunter is celebrating another key life milestone.
Hunter is set to marry his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, on Saturday. The ceremony is reportedly expected to take place in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Hunter and Lenee – whose full name is Leanna De La Fuente – started dating in 2022. They first got into contact after Hunter sent Lenee a direct message on Instagram, one to which Lenee didn't initially respond for two months.
"He just wasn't my type," Lenee said in a video the two posted to YouTube in October 2022.
Once Lenee responded, the two remained in consistent communication for a couple of months. The two joked Hunter was in the "friend zone" at that time, but 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.
Now, the duo is set to officially be married in front of family and friends. That will include Travis Hunter Sr., who was granted permission to attend his son's wedding. The elder Hunter, 39, is about halfway through the community control portion of his sentence stemming from gun and drug charges.
