â Ossacinâs Ducktail (@OssacinDucktail) May 24, 2025Hunter and Lenee exchanged vows at The Barn at Faith Farms, a luxury venue in Tennessee, according to People. Lenee wore two custom-made dresses by New York designer Justin Alexander for the wedding, which appeared to have a black and white theme.
Hunter and Lenee began dating in 2022 while they were in high school. They continued their relationship when Hunter went to Jackson State and then transferred to Colorado. Their relationship drew some online criticism last year after videos from the Heisman Trophy ceremony and a public photo op seemed to show Lenee and Hunter were not on the best of terms.
However, Lenee attended the NFL Draft in Green Bay with Hunter’s mother and father, and there doesn’t appear to be any trouble between the couple now.
