A Dreamy Day in Tennessee
On May 24, 2025, NFL rookie Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ star draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner, married his sweetheart, Leanna Lenee, in a stunning ceremony at The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee. The cozy yet fancy venue, tucked between Knoxville and Chattanooga, was the perfect spot for their big day. Surrounded by family, friends, and even a celebrity guest like rapper Lil Wayne, Travis and Leanna’s wedding was full of love, laughter, and special moments that showed off their unique bond.
How Their Love Story Began
Travis and Leanna’s romance kicked off in 2022 when Travis, then a high school football star in Georgia, sent Leanna a message on Instagram. In a fun YouTube video on their channel, “Travis and Leanna,” she shared that she ignored his DM for two months, thinking he wasn’t her type. But after Travis tagged along to a friend’s birthday party, sparks flew, and they’ve been together ever since. Their relationship hasn’t always been easy, with some public moments—like a small on-field argument or criticism about Leanna’s reaction at Travis’ 2024 Heisman ceremony—making headlines. Still, their love stayed strong, leading to a sweet engagement in February 2024, complete with a dazzling $100,000 diamond ring and Travis’ caption, “A million times, yes.”
A Classy Black-and-White Party
The wedding had a beautiful black-and-white theme. Travis looked sharp in a crisp white tuxedo, while Leanna stole the show in two custom dresses by New York designer Justin Alexander. Her first dress had a deep neckline and a long, flowy veil with tiny white roses, perfect for the ceremony. For the reception, she switched to a sleek, sparkly gown that was great for their first dance to Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You.” The venue was decked out with chandeliers, white flowers, and a huge five-tier cake with creamy icing. Guests enjoyed a tasty meal of stuffed chicken or lobster tail with garlic mashed potatoes, starting with a fresh salad. The night ended with a big fireworks show that lit up the sky, making everyone feel like they were in a fairy tale.
A Jaw-Dropping Wedding Gift
One of the biggest moments was when Travis surprised Leanna with an incredible gift: a sleek, black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800, worth up to $700,000. A video of Leanna unwrapping the car went viral, with guests cheering as she saw it for the first time. Some folks online noticed that a few of Travis’ family members didn’t seem super excited, which started some chatter about whether they approved of the marriage. But Travis and Leanna didn’t let that dim their happiness. One fan summed it up on social media: “If Travis is happy, let him be. Their love is what matters.”
Handling the Spotlight
Travis and Leanna’s relationship has had its share of public attention. Some fans criticized Leanna after she didn’t seem overly excited at Travis’ Heisman ceremony, and old videos from 2020-2021 sparked rumors that didn’t have any proof. Travis stood up for her on Twitch, saying, “I know my girl. She’s been with me for years.” They even took a break from Instagram to avoid negative comments, with Leanna keeping her account private for a while. Through it all, they’ve stayed strong, with Leanna gifting Travis a Rolex and bracelet before his big moment at the 2025 NFL Draft, where he was picked second overall.
A Family-Filled Wedding Party
The wedding party was all about family and close friends. Leanna’s sister Alina was the maid of honor, and Travis’ friend Fella was the best man. The bridesmaids included Leanna’s sister Elisha, Travis’ sister Ashley, and some close pals, while the groomsmen had Travis’ brother Trayvis, cousin TJ, and Leanna’s family members. Leanna’s little brother, Eli, was the adorable ring bearer. The couple added personal touches, like sharing their engagement and wedding planning journey on their YouTube channel, which made the day feel even more special.
What’s Next for the Newlyweds
With Travis starting his NFL career and a massive $46 million contract, the couple is excited for their future. Some fans thought they spotted a baby bump in wedding photos, but Travis and Leanna laughed off the rumors, saying they want to enjoy married life before starting a family. Their wedding was a beautiful start to their new chapter, and as they danced under the Tennessee stars, it was clear they’re ready for whatever comes next, hand in hand.
