It's been an eventful year for Travis Hunter. Just a few months after being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the rookie tied the knot with Leanna Lenee, his partner of three years. On May 24, 2025, the two said "I do" to each other in a celebration at The Barn at Faith Farms, a wedding venue in Tennessee, according to the Daily Mail. The bride donned two custom Justin Alexander dresses for the occasion. For the ceremony, she selected a mermaid-style gown featured statement-making roses while the groom opted for an all-white look that featured a double-breasted long suit jacket and sneakers. Adding to the neutral color scheme, the couple's wedding party, as well as all of their guests, adhered to an all-black dress code for the fête. Yet, the most showstopping moment of the day came after the ceremony—when Hunter presented his new wife with a Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800.

The car, which was wrapped in white sheets with a black bow, costs approximately $642,130. After Hunter revealed the six-figure present to his wife, the newlyweds took photos in front of the luxury vehicle. Following the presentation of the gift, the bride and groom headed into their reception space, which featured ivory-hued florals, black details, votive candles, and a five-tier cake. While Hunter opted to remain in his ceremony attire for the post-nuptial celebration, Lenee changed into another custom Justin Alexander gown, which included thin straps, a sweetheart neckline, and intricate detailing.

The couple initially connected after Hunter sent Lenee an Instagram message in 2022. However, Lenee reportedly waited two months before responding to the football player. After she eventually replied, the duo fostered a close friendship. They officially started dating later that same year. In February 2024, they announced their engagement on Instagram. According to Sports Illustrated, the princess-cut ring is worth $100,000.

Hunter, who will make his NFL debut with the Jaguars later this year, received a contract projected to be worth more than $40 million. However, even though some of that money likely went to fund his wedding gift for Lenee, the cornerback disclosed that his first purchase after signing with the Florida team was actually a pair of pajamas branded with the franchise's logo. "It was a blessing to be the first person in my family to walk across the stage, but I was just thinking about getting back to work and coming back and playing football," Hunter told reporters at the team's minicamp. "[The pajamas], that’s the first thing I ordered on Amazon when I got drafted. That night."
