Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter and wife Leanna Lenee welcome baby boy

Travis Hunter is celebrating a new milestone off the field: fatherhood. The 22-year-old Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback and his wife, Leanna Lenee, welcomed a baby boy, sharing the joyful news in a YouTube video titled “Dear Son…” on Wednesday, Aug. 27. The short clip, just under three minutes, opens with the couple in a bathroom, Hunter filming from a handheld camcorder as Lenee gets ready in front of the mirror.

Seconds later, Lenee holds up a Clearblue pregnancy test, asking, “Wait, is it going?” as the results appear. The couple erupts in joy, with Lenee capturing the moment on camera. She then films a printout of the ultrasound, saying, “There’s the baby,” followed by a sign that announces, “It’s a boy.”

Before discovering their baby's gender, Lenee had recorded a dream on her iPhone on Feb 28, envisioning that they would welcome a boy “with lots and lots of curly hair.” “Today is March 26, and this was the dream I had Feb. 28,” she said in the video. “I knew it was gonna be a boy. So cool.”


Other highlights in the announcement show the couple’s everyday life, including Hunter brushing his teeth while Lenee films him, playfully telling him to “say hi to the baby.” The behind-the-scenes footage also captures the moment they learned where the former Heisman Trophy winner would be drafted following his college career.

Lenee asked Hunter if he had a message for their unborn child, and he replied, “You gotta be better than me.” Before sharing glimpses from the delivery room, the video shows two clips of Lenee highlighting her growing baby bump.

Once she’s in the hospital bed, it’s time for her to push. The screen goes dark while the audio continues, capturing nurses guiding her through the delivery. The newborn’s cries became audible as Hunter said, “That baby look just like me!” followed by laughter from all in the room.

Hunter and Lenee tied the knot on May 24 at The Barn at Faith Farms in Tennessee, keeping their pregnancy under wraps until now. Their relationship previously drew public scrutiny when fans criticized Lenee on social media for appearing frustrated while Hunter posed with fans at an event. Some questioned her intentions with the standout college athlete, prompting Hunter to defend her publicly
