Dennis Rodman took a subtle shot at Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter and his wife, Leanne Lenee, in his recent appearance on YouTuber N3on’s stream. The 64-year-old NBA legend’s remark has fueled speculation about the couple’s relationship as whispers circulate that Lenee may be “taking advantage” of Hunter. The couple tied the knot this summer and appear to be happily married.
Dennis Rodman Shades Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee’s Marriage
On August 17, the former NBA star joined YouTube N3on’s stream, and he did not hesitate to take a jab at Hunter and his relationship with his wife, Lenee.
When N3on asked Rodman, “A 21-year-old young man, what advice could you give me to evolve as a human being?” the five-time NBA champion replied after a pause, “Just don’t be Travis Hunter,” before erupting in laughter.

The two-time NBA All-Star continued, “I’m sorry, breaking news, what the hell… I don’t give a s**t if it’s real or not, s**t, it’s fake news.” Rodman’s comments carry extra weight given that Lenee has faced backlash over the past year from online commentators.
Leanna Lenee Faces Backlash Over Relationship With Travis Hunter
The Jaguars’ rookie Travis Hunter and his longtime love Leanna Lenee married just weeks after winning the Heisman Trophy. Despite being by Hunter’s side for a long time, Lenee has faced intense trolling on social media, with fans going so far as to call her a “gold digger” and “fame hunting.”
In response to these preposterous accusations, Lenee even shared a vulnerable TikTok post last month detailing her struggles. The video, recorded right after she stepped out of the shower, showed Lenee in tears with the sounds of a church sermon playing in the background. The context was clear from the caption, as she was inaudible in the clip.
“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,” Lenee wrote, adding, “The amount you can grown [sic] 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.”
Lenee has dealt with criticism multiple times, including backlash after Hunter’s Heisman win and when she made comments as he posed for photos with female fans.
Did Travis Hunter’s Wife File for Divorce?
The short answer to this is no. The rumor started when the Instagram sports page Bot Up Next posted a screengrab of a tweet claiming Hunter’s wife is calling it quits on the marriage. The post garnered thousands of comments, and it was later shared by NFL insider Adam Schelfer.
However, it does not hold any truth. Until we get the confirmation from either Hunter or Lenee, it’s better not to spread such false news.
Through all the social media fiasco, Hunter has stood firmly by her side, publicly defending his wife. He has called out “clickbait pages” for targeting her, saying, “We’re inseparable. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting, I’m hurting.”
While recent divorce rumors circulated online, they remain unfounded. In fact, the couple has since welcomed a new member to their family, a kitten, showing their bond remains strong.
