Travis Hunter, the number 2 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, has some electrifying moves! He and his wife, Leanna De La Fuente, became first-time parents when their baby boy arrived in September. The couple celebrated their news with an emotional announcement vlog on YouTube. Titled “Dear Son…”, it poignantly chronicles their path to parenthood.
The couple’s love story first started in the small enclave of Suwanee, Georgia, where they first met at Collins High School. Hunter, 22, and De La Fuente, 23, have played together in the youth ranks. From initial contact through to engagement and their wedding day in May 2024, there was a little under three months’ time. Their path to parenthood has been paved with hope and ambition. On March 26, De La Fuente joyfully announced in a TikTok video that she had been dreaming of a son only weeks before they started spreading news of their pregnancy.
In an intriguing twist of fate, De La Fuente noted her dream about their future baby boy on February 28, writing in her phone a note that read, “Baby was a boy with lots and lots of curly hair.” The dreamy couple made their dream come true by announcing their pregnancy through their vlogging channel. They rushed to tell friends and family, posting the first sonogram pictures along with the news.
As they moved through every stage of the pregnancy, Hunter and De La Fuente kept fans connected by sharing updates and moments from their journey. They documented Hunter’s draft process through short videos leading up to the 2025 NFL draft, highlighting both the pressures of professional football and their growing family.
The emotional vlog climaxes with a moment of pure joy as they let viewers hear their newborn son’s first cries. Wishing them both all the best, Hunter offers comfort to De La Fuente as they begin this new chapter in life together.
