Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter and wife welcome first son

Published 28 August 2025

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter and his wife, Leanna Lenee, announced the birth of their first child, a son, in a YouTube video released Wednesday that chronicled Lenee's pregnancy from a positive test through labor. The announcement comes less than two weeks before the 22 year old two way player is expected to make his NFL regular season debut for the Jaguars on Sept. 7 in Carolina.

The roughly three minute clip, titled Dear Son, shows the couple celebrating a positive pregnancy test and viewing sonograms, and includes a gender reveal sign that reads, It is a boy. Lenee is heard recounting a dream in late February in which the baby would be a boy with lots of curly hair. The video also includes footage from the NFL Draft in April, when Hunter was selected with the No. 2 overall pick, and concludes with audio from the delivery room. The couple did not show the newborn on camera, but the infant's cries and Hunter's reaction are audible. In the video Hunter tells his son, Gotta be better than me, and upon hearing the baby cry says, That baby look just like me!, later telling his wife, You did good, baby.

Hunter, 22, and Lenee, 23, married on May 24 at The Barn at Faith...
