One moment, she’s a target. Next, she’s a bride. Leanna Lenee De La Fuente, standing solemnly beside Travis Hunter at the Heisman ceremony, had become the center of a social media firestorm. Viewers called her cold, critics circled like vultures, and whispers grew into viral judgment. She made her account private, then deleted it altogether. Silence followed—until Saturday. In a Tennessee barn wrapped in candlelight and vows, she walked down the aisle to marry Travis. The same Travis who’d defended her, brushed off the noise, and stood by her when the internet wouldn’t.
Travis Hunter and Leanna exchanged vows on Saturday, May 24, at The Barn at Faith Farms in Tennessee, surrounded by friends, family, and notable guests—including Coach Prime himself. The wedding wasn’t just a celebration of love; it came on the heels of a whirlwind few months for Hunter. He had been selected as the No. 2 overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft, walked the stage at his graduation ceremony in Colorado, and secured the Heisman Trophy—an honor that had once seemed unreachable. This wedding, filled with laughter, intimacy, and soft elegance, capped off a historic run for one of college football’s brightest stars.
Tysha Stewart, Deion Sanders’ longtime assistant and a familiar face in the Colorado Buffaloes orbit, recently shared a heartwarming story on Instagram. The video featured Leanna Lenee, now Travis Hunter’s wife, beaming with joy as she twirled in a V-cut white bridal dress that kissed just above her knees. Her smile was infectious, her laughter light, and the elegance in the frame was impossible to miss. Tysha captioned the moment with pride, “Speaking of gifts, I gifted @leannalene this hat for the rehearsal dinner.” —neutral-toned but far from simple. It gleamed with jeweled accents and boldly spelled out BRIDE, a crown of sorts for a weekend that marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
In the stories shared on Instagram by Tysha, fans get a glimpse of the glamorous wedding of Travis Hunter and his wife. She posted a TikTok video on her Instagram story, giving her all the credit for the wedding ceremony. The video is captioned, “From planning, designing and hosting @thetyshastewart did it all. And did it well.” The lovely couple is decked in white attire for their wedding, and Tysha’s stories show them laughing and giggling, enjoying the best day of their lives.
From Coach Prime’s blessing to pregnancy rumours to Tysha’s thoughtful gift, the day carried a spirit of both love and drama. But these were not the only highlights of their wedding.

At just 22 years old, Hunter is already living in rare air. His college career at Colorado wasn’t just historic—it was profitable. From NIL deals to personal brand partnerships, the two-way phenom built a fortune before ever stepping onto an NFL field. While his contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars isn’t finalized yet, projections have already placed it sky-high. Spotrac estimates a four-year deal worth $46.5 million, including a $30 million signing bonus. The wedding gift wasn’t a splurge—it was a preview of what’s to come.
But money is only one part of Hunter’s journey. The real leverage he holds isn’t just in the millions—it’s in his demand to play both sides of the ball. As a wide receiver and cornerback, Hunter thrives in chaos, switching roles mid-game and making impact plays everywhere. And he’s made it clear—he won’t give that up. In a recent CBS Sports interview, when asked about playing just one position, Hunter didn’t hesitate. “It’s never playing football again,” he said. “Because I’ve been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field.”
He’s not bluffing. For Hunter, being a two-way star isn’t just a job—it’s his identity. He believes he can dominate on offense and defense, and he’s proven it every step of the way. That’s why his contract won’t just be about dollars—it’ll be about freedom.
