Colorado star Travis Hunter’s fiancee has stressed that the couple’s viral on-field dispute over the weekend was actually never a major issue.
A video of Hunter clashing with partner Leanna Lenee after the Buffaloes’ blowout win over Oklahoma State on Saturday caused quite a stir on social media, with fans left to speculate about what caused their apparent spat.
Hunter could be seen going in for a kiss and Lenee, who seemed unhappy with her man, had an agitated look on her face. The two then exchanged words with each other that looked unpleasant.
However, in an Instagram post a few days later, the Colorado WAG cleared up what really went down on the night.
‘These pics were taken 30 seconds after that clip by the way. Pls remember that social media is not real, and 5 seconds is not enough to understand a situation,’ Lenee captioned a different image of her and Hunter looking much happier at Folsom Field.
‘You also never know what a person can handle mentally. Thank you baby for always trying to cheer me up. You truly are the greatest partner a girl could ever ask for.’
Travis Hunter and Leana Lenee are slated to get married next May a month after the NFL Draft
Lenee has explained that there was never an issue between her and Hunter at Saturday’s game
In those pictures, Lenee was wearing all black to match Colorado’s uniforms from Saturday.
And on the back of her jacket was the message ‘HE12MAN’, which is a reference to Hunter being one of the best college football players in the country.
Hunter is considered a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, given out annually to the best player in the sport.
The Colorado star’s main competition is Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, with the award being given out on December 14.
Hunter and Lenee are getting married next year, with May 24 set as the date for their vows. That date will be near the beginning of many NFL rookie camps.
