Travis Hunter's wife, Leanna Lenee (Hunter), has recently shared a deeply personal journey about her pregnancy, faith andfamilylifewith the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie star.
In a series of Instagram Stories, the 24-year-old opened up about the emotional and spiritual experiences that marked the past year, giving fans a rare glimpse into her life behind the scenes.
Lenee revealed she had given her life to Jesus on Jan. 2, 2025, while on a beach in the Dominican Republic. She described the period leading up to this moment as her "rock bottom," struggling with mental health and public scrutiny.
"I cried and asked Him for strength, forgiveness, and for Him to reveal Himself to me. In exchange, I would read every word of His that is written and complete it by the end of this year," she wrote in her post. That same night, she discovered a "Biblein a Year" plan and committed to daily readings.
A few days later, she received her first conviction to stop cursing, a habit she admitted was difficult to change.
"The first week after this was the hardest because it was how I spoke, and how I've always spoke. But I put in my best effort," Lenee shared. She noted that by mid-January, she had successfully stopped using curse words entirely.
Just a month after her spiritual commitment, Lenee found out she was pregnant; a shocking revelation as she was on birth control.
"It's kind of funny to me now because one of my biggestprayersbefore I found out was praying forpatience. And oh how humorous our God is! He gave me the ultimate test of patience and perseverance," she said.
Despite initial doubts and emotional ups and downs, Lenee's faith gave her theconfidenceto embrace motherhood. "I promised myself I would be the best mother to my child and teach him all about how good our God is."

The couple quietly welcomed theirsonin August. Their baby arrived prematurely, spending several weeks in the NICU.
Lenee expressed that this challenging time strengthened her faith and brought her family closer.
"I truly think this time was when Travis met Jesus. He told me that he wanted me to help him learn. He dedicated himself to stop cursing… everything I have prayed for was just unraveling right in front of me," she added.
The couple married in May 2025 after dating since 2022. Lenee shared that the wedding was a spiritually meaningful moment for her.
"I remember feeling so happy that I wasn't living in sin anymore LOL. I had done so muchreadingat this point and I was feeling a conviction literally every day because I knew now that God intended us to marry before anything else," she continued in another Instagram Story.
Since tying the knot, the couple has navigated the highs and lows of NFL life together. Hunter, who was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April, is currently recovering from a knee injury sustained inOctober, requiring surgery and sidelining him for the rest of the season.
Despite the challenges, the couple has celebrated joyful milestones, including Leanna's 24thbirthday, where Hunter went all out, decorating their Jacksonville mansion in a Hello Kitty theme.
By the end of 2025, Lenee completed her ambitious goal of reading the entire Bible in one year.
"The place and person I am today is SO different than who I was inJanuaryand there's only one reason for that. God has been so faithful in my life. He has blessed me in more ways than I could ever imagine," she posted.
Lenee's journey highlights her transformation and motherhood while sharing her experiences publicly to inspire others.
