NFL rookie and recent Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter has had a whirlwind year — from collegiate success to NFL stardom and now marriage. But despite tying the knot with longtime partner Leanna Lenee last weekend, the couple remains a hot topic online. The latest spark? A tattoo on Lenee’s ring finger that’s drawing renewed scrutiny and speculation.
The tattoo in question is a small dollar sign (“$”) inked where a wedding band typically sits — a detail that’s fueling debates and jokes across social media platforms.
The topic first surfaced in December 2024, when Lenee faced backlash for not immediately standing to applaud Hunter as he accepted the Heisman Trophy. At the time, her tattoo also drew criticism, though she declined to comment on its meaning. With the couple’s recent wedding, the discussion has reignited with even more intensity.
“That’s literally insane if you put some thought into it,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “Love how she’s not subtle at all. Just a baby girl who recognizes her power.”
Other reactions were more critical. “The ring finger tattoo & butterfly tattoo are some major red flags,” one user posted, while another remarked, “Nobody going to feel sorry for buddy — everyone tried to warn him.” Another joked, “God forbid a woman is married to the bag.”
Despite the online trolling, neither Hunter nor Lenee has responded to the renewed speculation. The couple has kept a low profile amid the online discourse, seemingly opting to focus on their new chapter together.
While some fans view the tattoo as a symbolic declaration of ambition or independence, others interpret it as a questionable statement about priorities. Regardless of the intention behind the ink, the dollar sign has certainly become a flashpoint for public commentary on the couple’s relationship.
For now, Lenee continues to remain silent on the meaning behind the tattoo — leaving fans and critics alike to draw their own conclusions.
