Travis Hunter’s Wedding Sparks Strong Prenup Message From Ryan Clark

Travis Hunter is fresh off his wedding to longtime partner Leanna Lenee—but his name is now surfacing in a totally different conversation.

Former NFL safety and ESPN personality Ryan Clark offered some passionate advice this week on "The Pivot", urging young athletes to consider signing prenuptial agreements. And he didn’t hesitate to name-drop Hunter in the process.

“All young players should explore prenups—including Travis Hunter,” Clark said bluntly on X.

Clark’s reasoning? It has less to do with suspicion and more to do with foresight.

“A prenup doesn’t mean you’re expecting the worst,” he continued. “It just means that both parties are prepared for it.”

Clark—who’s spoken often about his own journey—explained that he didn’t get a prenup when he got married because he had nothing at the time. But now, as someone who’s watched countless athletes rise and fall, he believes the conversation is too important to ignore.

“Right before you say ‘I do’ is the most optimistic time in a relationship,” Clark said in the video. “That’s the moment where you can decide what happens if ‘in case’ happens. You’re not doing it out of hate—you’re doing it because you love them and want to protect them too.”

It was clear his words were meant for young stars like Hunter, who was drafted as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft.

Hunter and Lenee tied the knot in a widely-celebrated ceremony this month. The couple—together since their teenage years—quickly became a focal point of college football culture thanks to their loyalty and authenticity. They also endured their fair share of scrutiny.

Clark’s message doesn’t criticize their relationship. If anything, it offers a framework for protecting it, even if the unexpected happens down the line.

As Clark put it, “If people approached it that way, I believe when these things do end, you’d be better off.”
