Colorado Buffaloes’ Travis Hunter Jr. won the Heisman Trophy in 2024.

So who is Travis Hunter’s fiancée? Here’s all you need to know.
Who is Travis Hunter engaged to?
Travis Hunter’s fiancée is Leanna Lenee.
Born in November 2001, Lenee is two years older than Hunter, who is 21. Lenee is a Kennesaw State University alum. She reportedly graduated from there in 2022 after wrapping up the four-year course in half the time (via People).
What is Leanna Lenee’s job?
Lenee appears to be a social media personality and content creator.
She has a YouTube channel with Hunter called Travis and Leanna, where they used to share videos regularly until a few months ago. They have accumulated over 100 thousand subscribers on that platform. She also has about 189K followers on her now-private Instagram account.
Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee’s relationship history
Hunter and Lenee first became acquainted when they were both teenagers. At the time, Lenee was 19. They reportedly started their relationship in February 2022. In an October 2022 video shared on YouTube, the couple detailed how they fell in love with each other. Hunter initially messaged her on Instagram, and it was months before she responded. At first, Lenee wanted to be friends, but things changed over time.
The couple got engaged in February 2024, about two years into their relationship. Recently, Lenee found herself on the receiving end of what appears to be fan outrage. A few weeks earlier, a clip of Hunter and Lenee from Hunter’s game against Oklahoma State began circulating, with many believing that they were arguing.
And now, some fans believe that Lenee didn’t stand up on her own when Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. They think that it was only after Hunter’s coach Deion Sanders patted her on the back that she did. Hunter has defended Lenee from these extreme reactions. On his Twitch account, he advised the people reacting to “find something else to talk about.”
