Travis Hunter Silences Critics with Surprise Miami Nuptials
You know a relationship has true staying power when you celebrate your big day in front of the very same keyboard warriors who spent months predicting disaster. Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter and fiancée Leanna Lenee exchanged vows this past Saturday in a private Miami ceremony—just three months after social media pundits raised eyebrows over their whirlwind engagement (TMZ, People).
Hunter, 22, and Lenee, 26, stepped off the grid on May 24 for an intimate gathering at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. According to People magazine, close friends and family were the only spectators, aside from a few drone shots capturing the couple’s minimalist décor and a striking floral arch. TMZ adds that Hunter opted for a crisp midnight-blue tuxedo by Armani, while Lenee stunned in a structured, off-the-shoulder gown by Vera Wang—because nothing says “we’re serious” like an $8,000 dress and a tux that costs more than your car.
Back in February, the duo’s rapid “Will you marry me?” social-media announcement sparked a wave of snarky GIFs and unsolicited professional-relationship audits on X. Critics argued that any romance forged faster than Hunter’s 4.39-second 40-yard dash was bound for a fumble. ESPN even ran a segment asking whether rookies should wait a full season before making life decisions. The answer, clearly, was “I do”—and the haters were left spectating from the bleachers.
Reception online shifted quicker than a two-minute warning. Within hours of posting their first official wedding photo on Instagram, the newlyweds racked up over 250,000 likes. Fans praised the couple for tuning out the noise, though some couldn’t resist joking about whether the open bar included bottled water for the best man’s speech. As one X user quipped, “Who knew a wedding could be the ultimate clap-back?”
Sources confirm there were zero celebrity cameos—so much for turning this into Coachella 2.0—but DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” allegedly played as Hunter and Lenee cut their cake. In a brief statement to People, Hunter deadpanned that he “just wanted to settle the argument” about their relationship timeline, while Lenee added she “doesn’t believe in taking advice from people who don’t even know our favorite pizza joint.”
There you have it: a ceremony that doubled as a masterclass in shutting down critics. Tune in next time for more bad decisions and questionable life choices—because if love isn’t absurd, are we even paying attention?
