Travis Hunter's Wife Scares NFL Fans With 'Concerning' Video
Travis Hunter's Wife Scares NFL Fans With 'Concerning' Video originally appeared on The Spun. With NFL training camp about to begin, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is trending for an unfortunate reason. Hunter's wife, Leanna, has dealt with plenty of criticism on social media over the past eight months. Countless fans called out her behavior at Colorado's final home game of the season. Additionally, they ripped her for barely showing any emotion at the Heisman Trophy ceremony. Things got so rough that Hunter deactivated his Instagram account in December. His longtime partner did the same, but her break from social media eventually came to an end. In May, the happy couple silenced all their critics by tying the knot in Tennessee. After two quiet months, Travis and Leanna returned to the spotlight because of the latter's latest social media post. She shared an old video of her crying along with a message for herself. "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," Hunter's wife wrote. "I don't even recognize this girl anymore. The amount you can grow and develop in just six months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding." NFL fans had an awful lot to say about Leanna's latest video. They claim she's just seeking attention. Others are wondering if her marriage is OK. "Women that record themselves crying have ulterior motives," one fan declared. "She's awful. She won't even pretend for two years," a second fan wrote. "Dude messed up his life …unreal no one could talk sense to him," another fan said. "Social media's obsession with Travis hunters relationship is weird," a social media user argued. "Bunch of single BROKE people who couldn't keep they own relationship tryna tell the kid how to live his life is beyond me." Travis and Leanna met at Collins Hill High School in Georgia. They have been together since 2022. As of this moment, it sounds like Travis and Leanna are doing just fine. Besides, he doesn't owe anyone an update on his personal life. Fans will get to see Hunter in action this August when the NFL preseason Hunter's Wife Scares NFL Fans With 'Concerning' Video first appeared on The Spun on Jul 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Country music singer tells fans to ‘shut up' during tribute for his late sister
Randall King wasn't about to let a fan ruin the moment. The country music singer was paying tribute to his late sister during a June 19 show in Chattanooga, Tennessee, when he was interrupted by several fans who wanted him to sing a Merle Haggard song. King got so agitated that he told the audience members to 'shut up.' 'I ain't playing a … Haggard song. Give me a second. I'm talking about my sister, man. Give me a second. Be respectful please,' he pleaded to the crowd. Footage of the interaction was shared June 21 by Primetime Country Music on TikTok. The video shows King talking about his late sister Leanna, who passed away in April 2020, during a break between songs. 'My sister meant the world to me. She was my best friend,' he says of Leanna. 'I miss her everyday, man, but I can tell you the last five years, I've seen her many a time … She's always around.' King, who is known to tell Leanna's story during performances, announced his sister's death in an emotional Facebook post the day after she died. 'Understand that it's gonna be a while before I can pick up a guitar again. For that I am sorry to my fans. I'm just gonna need time,' he wrote in the April 2020 post. King went on to describe Leanna as his 'big sis, my partner in crime, my teammate when we went to pickin on dad and mom.' 'She was there for me in my hardest times and some of my darkest times. She was the brightest light I've ever seen,' he added. 'I can still hear her laugh, it's a laugh that NO ONE, has ever come close to.' In December 2020, King released a four-song EP titled 'Leanna' in honor of his older sister. More recently, on April 3 (nearly five years after his sister's death), King and his fiancée, Brittany Warthan, who announced their engagement in October, welcomed their first baby. 'Welcome to the world, miss Paisley Leanna. What a joy it is to be a father!' the singer wrote in an Instagram post April 19. The baby girl's middle name was inspired by King's late sister. 'It's only fitting to give her my sister's name on the 5th year of Leanna's passing. She has the same big bright spirit, I can already tell,' King wrote in the caption. While talking to Us Weekly about the new baby, Warthan teased what's next for the couple. 'We already started the planning process for our wedding next year,' she told the outlet, adding that they're also looking forward to watching their little one grow up in the music industry. 'We still have all the plans to travel and show her our favorite destinations and to add to the craziness our lives hold,' Warthan continued.
