Travis Hunter got married over the weekend on May 24th in a stunning ceremony held at The Barn at Faith Farms in Athens, Tennessee. The picturesque countryside venue set the perfect backdrop as the Colorado Buffaloes star tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in a private wedding ceremony.
The Sanders family were among those formally invited. As per the seating arrangement, table number 5 had been reserved for them.
Despite the beauty of the celebration, the spotlight quickly shifted online when fans noticed the apparent absence of the Sanders family. Given Hunter’s close bond with both Shedeur and Deion, their presence was widely expected.
As wedding photos began circulating online, the lack of clear appearances from the Sanders sparked widespread speculation and curiosity.
The Sanders Family Missing from Group Wedding Photos
Fans couldn’t help but notice that the Sanders family, except Shedeur, was nowhere to be seen in any of the photos shared online from the wedding. As images circulated across social media, it became clear that while Travis Hunter and his bride Leanna were surrounded by loved ones, the Sanders were missing from the celebration.
Leanna’s maid of honor was her sister Alina, while her bridesmaids included her sister Elisha, sister-in-law Gabby, Hunter’s sister Ashley, and close friends Ozrah, Nayeliz, Noel, and Audra.
Meanwhile, Hunter and his groomsmen enjoyed fresh haircuts courtesy of social media barber Barber G at a lakeside cabin before the big day.
Hunter’s best man was his close friend Fella, and his groomsmen included his younger brother Trayvis, cousin TJ, friend Shemar, and Leanna’s cousin Delevecchio, along with her brothers Kaden, Jalen, and Jordan. Another brother, Eli, took on the role of the ringbearer.
Shedeur Sanders Steered Away From the Spotlight
Despite the online buzz, it turns out Shedeur Sanders did attend Travis Hunter’s wedding.
Though he wasn’t spotted in any group photos with his former teammates, a few snaps have surfaced confirming his presence. Notably, the wedding’s caterer shared a photo with Shedeur on Instagram, putting rumors of his absence to rest.
While his low profile at the event left many fans puzzled, the Instagram post served as proof that he showed up to support his friend on the big day.
Still, the lack of interaction with the rest of the team and no presence on the dance floor has continued to spark quiet speculation online.
Deion Sanders Skipped Travis’ Wedding
While Shedeur Sanders quietly made an appearance at Travis Hunter’s wedding, there was no sign of Coach Deion Sanders.
Instead, Deion has been spending time at home in Texas with his son Deion Jr., taking a much-needed break from his intense coaching schedule at Colorado.
On May 21st, 2025, Deion Sanders posted on X, replying to his son, “And I truly needed this and appreciate this. Love u good ole good ole,” hinting at just how much he valued his time off. However, it’s still unclear as to why Bucky, Shilo, and Deion did not attend Travis’ wedding despite their names on the guest list.
While Deion Sanders chose to stay back in Texas to recharge, and Shedeur kept a low profile at the wedding, Travis Hunter’s big day still unfolded beautifully, surrounded by family and close friends. Though the absence of the Sanders in group photos sparked online chatter, it’s clear the bond between them remains unchanged, even if celebrated quietly and from afar.
