Through a sneaky game of dropping slight hints, Leanna Lenee and Travis Hunter announced that they’d get hitched soon. First, it was a comment that caught the fans’ attention.

Then, the fans were still not sure about her confirming the rumors. Still, as soon as she reposted her bridesmaid hamper, fans knew it was happening. In a series of back-and-forth Instagram stories, one of Lenee’s bridesmaids also revealed the date: May 24, 2025.

To prepare for the wedding, Lenee has already started dress hunting and completing other things, with Travis Hunter supporting her at every step. However, losing her furry baby will also hurt her like a thorn in her wedding. We extend our deepest sympathy for Leanna Lenee over her irreplaceable loss.
