The Travis Hunter effect is a real thing, at least when it comes to his personal life off the gridiron. The former Colorado standout, a two way player at that, was picked second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, locking in his spot among the game’s next wave of stars. But after the confetti settled, the spotlight swerved in a whole different direction that had nothing to do with touchdowns or tackles.
Just his other half.
Only hours after hearing his name called, Hunter tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee. What should have been a moment of celebration for the young couple quickly turned into a trending topic for all the wrong reasons.
Let’s be real. A lot of shade was circulating around socials about Lenee, now Mrs. Hunter (we think she took his name) but the fact is they are happily married.
Social media speculation exploded when word got out that the couple reportedly said “I do” without signing a prenuptial agreement. That revelation fueled fresh rounds of gossip on the Gram and other social platforms. Critics began rehashing old rumors and questioning Lenee’s motives, with some even labeling her a gold digger based on nothing but internet whispers. Memes flooded timelines and the narrative quickly shifted from Hunter’s big win on the field to what many saw as a potential loss off it.
As the chatter went viral, one high profile divorce lawyer decided to step in with a headline grabbing move of his own. James Sexton, a well known New York attorney who has represented celebrities and high net worth individuals, announced that he would offer free prenup services to the entire incoming class of NFL rookies.
“We’re offering free prenups to all rookies from the 2025 Draft… over 200 players” he said.
That part.
Sexton’s announcement was framed as a public service move aimed at educating young athletes about protecting their wealth and future. Still, not everyone bought the altruism. Some online users felt the move was less about goodwill and more about grabbing attention at a moment when the headlines were already hot.
Either way, the message was clear. As fast as fame and fortune can arrive, so can the drama that often comes with it.
