Travis Hunter Surprises Bride with Six-Figure Mercedes at Lavish Tennessee Wedding
Under Tennessee’s amber dusk, NFL rookie sensation Travis Hunter and his lifelong love, Leanna Lenee, transformed The Barn at Faith Farms into a realm of poetic celebration. The May 24 nuptials, reported by The Daily Mail, fused heartfelt history with lavish spectacle: the couple, together since high school in Georgia, pledged enduring devotion amid panoramic fields and rustic elegance. Moments after exchanging custom vows, Hunter stunned his bride, whose full name is Leanna De La Fuente, with a jaw-dropping six-figure wedding gift—a gleaming Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800—caught live on X as cheers erupted around the newlyweds (Sports Illustrated). How poetic that a symbol of horsepower and status could also become an emblem of committed love?
The bride—draped in two bespoke gowns by New York couturier Justin Alexander—echoed the soiree’s black-and-white motif, first gliding down the aisle in ivory lace before slipping into a second sculpted silhouette. Surrounded by her sister Alina as maid of honor and bridesmaids including sister Elisha, brother Jalen’s wife Gabby, Hunter’s sister Ashley, and four cherished friends, Lenee radiated joy. At her side, Hunter’s inner circle stood tall: best man Fella, groomsmen brother Trayvis, cousin TJ, and several of Lenee’s relatives bore witness to each stolen glance and shared vow (People).
An evening crescendoed in a first dance to Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You,” before fireworks crowned the starry Tennessee sky. Yet behind the romance lay a storied timeline: the pair’s engagement in February 2024, sealed with a dazzling $100,000 ring, and the on-air reveal of their wedding plans on the 2Legendary podcast (Sports Illustrated). Notably, they hit the red carpet just a month earlier at the 2025 NFL Draft, where Lenee gifted Hunter a Rolex and a bracelet to honor his ascending football career.
This love story weathered public scrutiny, including a brief social media silence after criticism of Lenee’s seated reaction at Hunter’s Heisman Trophy moment (Buffalo head coach Deion Sanders was seen prompting applause). She later defended herself on TikTok, and Hunter, with characteristic loyalty, took to Twitch. “I know what I got. I know my girl. … Y’all are just now starting to talk about me,” he asserted, solidifying their unbreakable bond.
So concludes this rural romance, stitched with touchdowns and teardrops—a tableau of devotion, dazzling gifts, and poetic promise. A bittersweet finale, or merely the first verse in their shared odyssey?
