If golf star Scottie Scheffler was the man of 2024, then Travis Hunter has to be the man of 2025. In just the span of one calendar year, the 22-year-old self-proclaimed “unicorn” has managed to claim the Heisman Trophy, a second overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, a wife, and now, a son.

Fans continue to count down the moments until Hunter’s rookie debut, which has the potential to break the football meta as we know it. Meanwhile, the former Buffalo and his wife, Leanna Lenee, have just welcomed their first child, a baby boy.

The newlyweds officially announced that they were expecting a baby boy back in May. They’ve now released a vlog documenting the first days in which they received the news to the day their son was born. The news comes in the wake of the couple having to squash a series of rumors pertaining to divorce.

Hunter himself has been the unfortunate target of online backlash ever since he made his relationship with Lenee public.

That criticism ultimately resulted in a series of false reports that Hunter and Lenee were already filing for divorce, with some even claiming that she was seeking millions of dollars from him in the process. Thankfully, for the sanctity of their marriage, the comment section isn’t in charge of their relationship.

Lenee has received the brunt of the public scrutiny for quite some time now. Hateful comments and false accusations routinely flood her inbox and social media pages. And even though she’s clearly content with her husband, the seemingly never-ending series of threats and negativity has certainly taken its toll on her.

In the past, she’s even posted videos of herself in tears, captioning that she gets bogged down often after receiving unwarranted bitterness.

Hunter’s rookie debut is projected to be one of the most exciting events in the recent history of the Jaguars’ franchise. Should he manage to prove himself capable of producing on both sides of the ball, then the attention will quickly shift away from his personal life and toward his unprecedented skill set.

Players of this caliber are generally considered to be once-in-a-lifetime athletes. So it’s nothing short of a shame that some folks are choosing to gossip about his love life rather than appreciate the talent that stands before them.
