Travis Hunter has married his longtime girlfriend, Leanna Lenee.

The couple tied the knot on Saturday (May 24) in a lavish ceremony in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Footage from the event circulated online, such as one that claimed TMZ had sent drones to get a shot of the couple saying their "I do's." Another video showed Hunter and Lenee opening one of their wedding gifts, which appeared to be a black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800.

The couple first met while attending high school in Georgia and started officially dating in 2022 after Hunter sent Lenee an Instagram DM. She didn't respond for two months, claiming he wasn't her type. She eventually responded, and the rest is history.

They made headlines last year when Lenee's actions on the sidelines and during Hunter's Heisman Trophy win caused fans to believe she wasn't truly in love with him. Despite becoming engaged last year, the couple still faced scrutiny from fans who believed Lenee was looking for a come-up.

The wedding comes a month after the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Hunter was a star in college football, winning the Heisman Trophy, Walter Camp Award and both the AP and Sporting News Player of the Year honors last year.
