Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ two-way star, has kept his relationship with Leanna Lenee quite private as of now. But this wasn’t the case a few months ago. Running a YouTube channel together, the two lovebirds made quite a fan base, showcasing their personal lives to their fans.
His relationship isn’t just a showbiz, Hunter’s truly committed to Leanna Lenee. Since proposing to his girlfriend during a romantic trip to Puerto Rico in February 2024, they’ve really made an admirable connection.
Even after documenting their moments together, the couple has attracted much negative attention, following a recent scrutiny of Leanna Lenee, in what critics challenged as the extent of her commitment to Hunter.
Who Is Leanna Lenee?
Leanna Lenee was born in November 2001 near London, England. She moved to the US when she was 10, and lived in Savannah, Georgia.
Professionally, Leanna excels as a content creator on YouTube alongside her fiancé, Travis Hunter. They’ve amassed a total of 100,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel (username: @travisandleanna9170), where they entertain their fans with travel vlogs, engagement celebrations, and behind-the-scenes revelations of their daily lives.
Apart from YouTube, Leanna is also active on TikTok (at least she used to be), where she posts dance routines and other personal moments with Hunter. This was before Hunter’s fans started calling her out, after which she started to keep a low profile on the internet.
Her Ethnicity and Parents
Leanna Lenee is of Black, Mexican, and Filipino descent from a close-knit family. Her parents were loving and encouraged her to pursue her interests.
Her mother was a teacher, while her father worked in the local community centre. Her parents’ dedication to helping others inspired Leanna’s behavior.
She enjoyed growing together with her two siblings. The strong family bond remains a crucial aspect in her life.
Her Education
Leanna Lenee attended a local elementary school in Savannah, where she excelled in history and literature. She stepped into academic competitions when she was in middle school.
In high school, Leanna joined the debate team. There, she mastered public speaking skills and boosted her confidence.
Lenee attended Kennesaw State University, impressively completing her Upper English Education bachelor’s degree in just two years. She’s also stated to have a master’s degree in Business Administration.
Her Relationship with Travis
Leanna Lenee and Hunter’s relationship was not the typical love-at-first-sight kind. It happened after a back-and-forth of online messaging.
At first, Travis reached out to Leanne via Instagram. They began texting and eventually became friends. Along the way, they went to a friend’s birthday party, and that’s how their romantic relationship was born.
So, their relationship became official in February 2022, when Leanna was only 19. Since then, they’ve celebrated their relationship anniversary on February 26th every year.
However, Leanna, on her vlog on YouTube, confessed that she wasn’t attracted to Travis at first and that she ignored his text messages initially for two months, which elicited criticism from fans. After that, things turned from bad to worse when her every move started to get noticed by the public.
After Hunter won the Heisman trophy, Leanna Lenee seemingly hesitated to applaud him. Fans claimed that she couldn’t stand up until Deion Sanders summoned her to get up. Fans got angry, claiming that she was after Hunter’s money.
When things got very tense, both Hunter and Leanna deactivated their social media accounts in December 2024.
Controversies and Why She Is No Longer Active Online
Amidst intense public scrutiny of Leanna Lenee, an alleged video of her went viral, showing her dancing provocatively in her ex-boyfriend’s music videos a few years ago. Critics began questioning her devotion to Hunter.
In the video, critics observed that the girl dancing with another guy had tattoos similar to those of Leanna.
The controversy went even deeper when screenshots shared online showed that Leanna had allegedly been in another man’s DMs in late 2020. In the video, the guy showed screenshots of messages exchanged during a time when Hunter had already brought his relationship with Leanna to the spotlight.
The alleged twerking videos and DM screenshots left fans with divided reactions. Some showed disappointment in Leanna, while others emphasized that Travis must get out of this relationship before it gets too late.
But even then, Travis backed his fiancée and announced that he would get married to her in 2025. Before deactivating his Instagram, Hunter asked people to stop harassing Leanna. He said she had had sleepless nights.
Sharing his disappointment, Hunter said the backlash was unnecessary. He defended Leanna, claiming she had been loyal to him over the years, and the public scrutiny had really taken a toll on her to the point where she turned to alcohol. “You ain’t never have no girl, so why y’all talking about me? Find someone else to talk about,” Hunter said.
Clearly, Travis is adamant to defend his fiancee come rain come sunshine. Seems all the trolling won’t stop these two from getting married soon.
