When love takes the field, even the playbook of caution can get tossed aside. In the ever-entwined world of sports and personal headlines, it’s not unusual for athletes to make bold moves both on and off the field. But Travis Hunter’s recent decision might just be one of the boldest yet—especially if you ask Coach Prime, aka Deion Sanders. Hunter, a standout young talent already turning heads in the NFL, recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Leanna Lenee. While weddings in the sports world often come with high-profile guest lists and lavish gifts, this one came with a twist: no prenuptial agreement. Yep, despite the cautionary—and famously cheeky—advice from his coach, Sanders, the 2x All-American opted to follow his heart.
The move speaks volumes, not just about his relationship with Leanna, but about the kind of person he is. Travis Hunter’s decision to skip the prenup wasn’t about ignoring wisdom—it was about trusting love and leaning into commitment. That said, not everyone in the sports world could resist chiming in with a bit of playful banter. The news caught fire after Football Forever shared the story on Instagram.
The caption read: “Jaguars first-round WR/CB Travis Hunter reportedly does not have a prenup agreement with his new wife, Leanna Lenee. If you don’t sign a prenup, your state’s laws will dictate how assets and debts are divided in the event of divorce or death and how alimony or spousal support is determined. This is a notable decision, as it’s unusual for high-profile athletes to forgo a prenup, considering their large net worth.” As expected, the comments section lit up.
Bobby Jones, the American-Equatorial Guinean basketball player, took a light jab, writing, “I’m not surprised, hope it works out tho.” Nate Robinson, former New York Knicks, couldn’t help but crack up, replying, “baketballjones84 [laughing emojis] yeah ok !!” Still, Travis Hunter’s confidence in his relationship likely stems from history.
Travis and Leanna have been together since February 2022. That’s over three years as of May 2025—a lifetime in young love terms. The couple first met while 2x All-American was finishing high school at Collins Hill in Suwanee, Georgia, and Leanna was a 19-year-old student at Kennesaw State University. Given all that, it’s no surprise that Hunter marked the occasion by gifting Leanna a stunning $200,000 Mercedes-Benz on their wedding day, and yes, while ignoring Coach Sander’s advice.
The time when Deion Sanders suggested that Travis Hunter have a prenup
When it comes to looking out for his players, Deion Sanders doesn’t stop at football. He’s just as quick to offer life advice—and one moment that resurfaced in December last year proves exactly that. In the clip, Sanders gave Travis Hunter some personal counsel: make sure to get a prenup before walking down the aisle.
If you’ve been following college football, you’ll know Sanders is the head coach of the Colorado State University football team, where Hunter played as both a cornerback and wide receiver. The video, originally shared in 2022 by Well Off Media, captured Sanders offering his thoughts on Hunter’s relationship at the time. “He just ain’t said I do yet,” Sanders said, alluding to the 2x All-American’s then-girlfriend.
At that point, Hunter and Leanna Lenee—now his fiancée—were still dating. “I think he done got married on us and ain’t told nobody,” Sanders joked. “Nah, not yet,” Hunter responded, laughing. “Let me know because I’m gonna do your prenup for you,” Sanders said. Clearly, Travis Hunter decided to follow his own decision and have faith in love over security.
