At the Las Vegas event, Hunter wore an all-black suit with a white undershirt, while Lenee had on a red dress. The couple smiled for photos on the red carpet, while Lenee looked at Hunter lovingly. The hectic stretch for the couple started in late November, when they appeared to get into an argument at the end of Colorado's football game against Oklahoma State. The couple maintained the viral clip was out of context.
Then after Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, Lenee was the only member of his delegation sat near the stage that did not jump to their feet after he was announced as the winner. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders then prompted Lenee to stand, which she did.
The next day, Hunter had a meet and greet with his fans in New York City. While the two-way football star was taking pictures with a smile, Lenee looked made on a nearby couch. Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee have made their first public appearance of 2025 together.
