Leanna Lenee, wife of NFL player Travis Hunter, has gone viral after sharing an emotional video reflecting on past struggles with social media.
The resurfaced clip, originally posted during a challenging period in late 2024, shows Lenee in tears over the criticism she faced online. She reposted it with a caption acknowledging her growth since then.
@leannalenee6 I wish I could go back and hug December me🥹, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way. I don’t even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this. ❤️ Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you.

“I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way,” she wrote. Lenee added, “I don’t even recognise this girl anymore."
The video, shared after her May wedding to Travis Hunter, marks the couple’s return to social media after a hiatus prompted by a wave of online scrutiny. Several viral clips previously portrayed Lenee in a negative light, including moments during Hunter’s Heisman Trophy appearance and a fan meet and greet, which were widely misinterpreted. Despite the backlash, Hunter stood by her throughout.
Now married, both have reappeared online, and Lenee’s recent reflection appears to have resonated with followers. She concluded her message by encouraging others to focus less on public perception and more on spiritual growth: “I hope you only care about how Jesus views you and no one else.”
