Travis Hunter’s fiance, Leanna Lenee, has dispelled the internet’s misconceptions about a viral moment in which she appeared upset while interacting with fans.

- Leanna revealed her parents through a TikTok video. But she didn’t reveal their names.

The discourse started after a video surfaced online from The Colorado Buffaloes star’s meet-and-greet at an Adidas pop-up event in New York City on December 14, ahead of the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
Social media users speculated that Lenee was annoyed as the 21-year-old cornerback star Travis posed for photos. Lenee took to TikTok to set the record straight. She said,
“People are saying that I’m like, ‘What am I supposed to do? Just sit here?’” “I said, ‘Do you want me to sit here? Or do you want me to go with the family? Or do you want me to come with you?’”“What y’all don’t know off of a seven-second clip, is those weren’t fans… he had already finished that part.”

Lenee emphasized that she had been actively involved throughout the event. “I wasn’t annoyed with no fans at all. I’m never annoyed with fans,” she said, shutting down the narrative.
The online backlash followed the previous accusations against Lenne, including claims that she was upset over Hunter’s interactions with cheerleaders during a football game. Frustrated by the ongoing scrutiny, she said,
“The things that I see people make up is truly crazy… trying to make it something it’s not.”

While some fans have questioned that if her mother is black and her father is Filipino, then why does Lenee identify herself as Hispanic and use racial slurs against Asians?
Her parents are not very active on social media, so only limited information about their personal lives is available.
Leanna has one younger brother named Jordan Sonnabend, who turned 18 in 2024.
As the big sister, Leanna is always the first in line to see to her brother’s well-being and never misses her cue. She wished Jordan a 20th birthday through an Instagram post with the caption,
“Happy Birthday ❤️ my tall baby brother.”
