After a whirlwind year that saw him win the prestigious Heisman Trophy and become the No. 2 overall NFL Draft pick, Travis Hunter just hit another major milestone—marriage.
The rising football star exchanged vows with his longtime love, Leanna Lenee, in a stunning countryside ceremony that felt as luxurious as it was heartfelt.
A Wedding Full of Style and Southern Charm
The wedding took place at The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee—about halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga.
It’s the kind of place that looks like it came straight out of a bridal magazine, complete with a picturesque pond, rolling green lawns, and space for 250 guests.
Travis, 22, showed up looking sharp in a crisp white suit, while 23-year-old Leanna wowed everyone with not one but two custom gowns by New York designer Justin Alexander.
One of the gowns was an elegant, figure-hugging dress covered in intricate rose appliqués, paired with a matching veil.
It was glamour meets countryside chic.
A Six-Figure Surprise Gift from the Groom
Just when everyone thought the celebration couldn’t get more lavish, Travis shocked his new bride—and their guests—with an extravagant surprise: a sleek black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800.
The luxury SUV, with a price tag in the six-figure range, was unveiled to whoops and applause.
Décor, Food, and an Instagram-Worthy Cake
The venue was decked out in a black and white theme that balanced class with Southern flair.
Chandeliers lit up the reception marquee, while long tables were decorated with towering white floral arrangements and ornate candelabras.
Guests were treated to a gourmet dinner that began with a fresh salad topped with onions, cherry tomatoes, and feta, all drizzled with Italian dressing.
For the main course, they could choose between seared stuffed chicken or Maine lobster tail served over garlic mash with lemon butter sauce.
And the dessert? A towering five-tier cake iced in cream perfection.
From NFL Rookie Camp to Wedding Bells
It’s been a wild few months for Hunter, who starred at Colorado as both a wide receiver and cornerback.
He was such a hot commodity in the draft that the Jacksonville Jaguars made a blockbuster trade to move up and select him with the second overall pick—giving up several valuable future picks to seal the deal.
Fresh from rookie minicamp, the Georgia native made his way to East Tennessee to marry the woman who’s been by his side through all the ups and downs.
A Special Appearance by Hunter’s Father
Adding even more emotion to the day, Travis’s father, Travis Hunter Sr., was granted special permission by a judge to attend the wedding.
He’s currently serving out a sentence under community control for drug and firearm-related charges but was allowed to celebrate his son’s big day.
Behind the Curtain: The Couple’s Rocky Moments
While today was picture-perfect, the couple has faced their share of drama—mostly fueled by internet speculation.
After Hunter’s Heisman win last December, some fans were quick to criticize Leanna’s reaction.
She stayed seated when the announcement was made, unlike his mother and coach Deion Sanders who jumped up to cheer.
Although she did stand up and give Travis a hug shortly after, some fans thought her behavior was cold.
The backlash was intense enough that Travis later shared on Twitch that Leanna cried herself to sleep that night, overwhelmed by the hate.
More Social Media Scrutiny
Leanna has had a tough time navigating the public eye.
Videos resurfaced showing her expressing that Travis wasn’t originally her “type,” which fans pounced on.
Another moment caught her appearing upset as he posed for photos with female fans during a pre-Heisman event.
There was even footage of an awkward exchange between them during a game celebration, where she seemed to reject a kiss from Travis after a major team victory.
Love Wins in the End
Despite the online noise, Travis and Leanna have shown resilience.
Whatever misunderstandings or awkward moments they had in the past, they clearly pushed through together—and today’s wedding was proof of that commitment.
Surrounded by loved ones, laughter, and luxury, the two began a new chapter that looks just as exciting as Travis’s NFL future.
