NFL rookie Travis Hunter and his wife, Leanna Lenee, have been plagued by divorce rumors in recent weeks.
The newly minted Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver, 22, and his college sweetheart, Lenee, 23, tied the knot in May after three and a half years of dating and capped off their big moment with a romantic honeymoon escape to the caribbean shortly thereafter. They appear to be as strong as ever, however, online trolls have continued to paint Hunter's wife as a gold digger and suggest that she's not in the relationship for the right reasons.
The divorce rumors started swirling last month after Lenee shared a post on TikTok detailing how the hatred has affected her mental health. In the raw video, Lenee stepped out of the shower, bawling her eyes out, as a church sermon played behind her. The caption of the clip stated that the video was taken in December and explained the reason for the tears, however, people seemed to miss that part, as they immediately jumped to the conclusion that there was trouble in paradise.
@leannalenee6 I wish I could go back and hug December me🥹, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way. I don’t even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. ❤️ Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.

"I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way," Lenee wrote.
"I don't even recognize the girl anymore," the caption read. "The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this," she added. "Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you," she continued.
The rumors have since snowballed, and some are now suggesting that Hunter's wife has filed for divorce and is asking for a massive payout.
Over the weekend, a post shared by a user on X went viral saying that the NFL rookie's wife "Just filed for divorce & is demanding $40 million dollars." The viral post, which has 2.8 million views as of this writing, included the caption, "Everyone saw this, except him," with several laughing face emojis.
