The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here, and all eyes are on Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy-winning Colorado Buffaloes star projected to be a top-five pick. But as a byproduct of his meteoric rise, his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, has become a point of focus for both admiration and some unnecessary criticism.
Here’s everything you will need to know about Hunter’s fiancée, Leanna Lenee, and more.
Who is Travis Hunter’s Lover Leanna Lenee?
Travis Hunter, a 21-year-old from West Palm Beach, Florida, has earned the spotlight by excelling as both a cornerback and wide receiver. With an NIL valuation of $5.2 million and a projected draft slot as high as No. 3 to the New York Giants, per PFF, Hunter has the potential to become the next star at the pro level.
His Heisman win in December 2024 was celebrated by his mother, coach Deion Sanders, and his fiancée Lenee in the audience. Even though everyone has been beside this young star, his lover always manages to snag a special spotlight, whose style and fashion sense have sparked both praise and controversy.
Who Is Leanna Lenee?
Leanna Lenee, 23, was born near London, England, and moved to Savannah, Georgia, at age 10. She is a mix of Black, Mexican, and Filipino heritage, she graduated from Kennesaw State University in just two years by December 2022. Lenee met Hunter as a teenager in Georgia, initially connecting as friends after he slid into her Instagram DMs.
Their bond deepened at a friend’s birthday dinner, and they’ve been inseparable since going Instagram official in March 2022 during a Hawaii trip. The couple announced their engagement on February 5, 2024, with Hunter presenting a reported $100,000 ring.
Lenee’s custom gameday outfits, from Colorado crop tops to Travis Hunter-branded jeans, have managed to get a lot of attention. Her presence at Hunter’s Heisman ceremony, where she wore a stunning dress, drew vicious online attacks. Critics unfairly targeted her reaction to his win, prompting Hunter to defend her on social media against “clickbait” headlines. WNBA star Angel Reese also voiced support, condemning the hate.
Since the backlash, Lenee has stepped back from public platforms, deleting her Instagram and pausing her TikTok. Yet, her support for Hunter remains unwavering. Last week, she appeared in a heartwarming video, surprising Hunter in the gym alongside his high school trainer.
Even this innocent moment managed to draw some online hate. The couple, now planning their wedding, lives in a luxurious four-bedroom Boulder home, complete with Hunter’s man cave.

His mother and father, the latter a Florida high school football legend who missed the Heisman ceremony, will attend. Lenee’s attendance remains uncertain. While it is natural for her to attend the big night, the looming dread of another sea of online trolls may keep her away.
