Travis Hunter’s fiance Leanna Lenee explains why she once said he wasn’t her type

Travis Hunter’s fiancée Leanna Lenee is speaking out after criticism on social media.

In a TikTok video uploaded on Monday, December 16, Lenee addresses negative comments she received online about their relationship after previously stating that the college football star was not her type.

Lenee, who said Hunter gave her “permission” to address the backlash, explained that he sent her a DM before they started dating. However, she did not respond for two months.

Although some have speculated that she ignored him until she found out he was a professional athlete, she explained, “That’s not true at all.” The real reason [is] because he sent me a DM when he had a girlfriend.”

She added that Hunter’s then-girlfriend’s name was in his social media bio at the time, so Lenee knew he was in a relationship.

“I left the message and he sat there until he was single. I don’t do housing, I’m not a side hustle, I don’t stand for any of those things. I support women, so I would never do that.” that to another woman, because I would never want this to be done to me.”

The influencer made it clear to her 365,000 followers that when she previously said Hunter wasn’t her type, “I didn’t mean attractiveness.”

‘I don’t have a physical type. Period,” she continued. “No two men I’ve dated before look the same,” revealing that her exes included white, Latin and black men.

She added that appearance “or what they can give me” doesn’t matter. Instead, she looks at “who they are as a person. How they honor God and how they treat those around them.”

“So when I said he wasn’t my type, I meant he was younger than me. I never dated anyone younger than me, and he cheated on his girlfriend. I don’t know if your type is a cheater, but mine is.” “So no, he wasn’t my type at first because of those two things.”

Still, she said she ultimately gave Hunter a chance because she was “attracted to him.” When she got to know him, she discovered that “he is a truly phenomenal and wonderful human being. And that’s why we’re still together to this day.”

Earlier Monday, the Heisman winner defended Lenee from critics, saying in part, “I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl’s been with me for five years. Y’all are just now starting to talk about me and only now am I starting to talk about me to be. Come on, man.”

He later added, “Y’all hate me and then y’all gonna hate my girl. I feel the same pain she feels. We are inseparable. [sic]we are together. If she is in pain, of course I will be in pain too.”
