In a clip from Coach Prime Season 3, now streaming on Prime Video, Lenee revealed her dedication to Hunter's success. She goes to all of Hunter’s NIL shoots to ensure that he's comfortable:
“Tell him he's doing great. Sometimes people need to hear that, so that's why I come,” she said.
Hunter praised Lenee's unwavering support:
“She's been there through the ups and down, and I didn't have nothing need,” Hunter said.
“She's always lift me up. She don't never tear me down. She's my partner in crime. She means a lot to me. She's always there, no matter what. Our bond is just unbreakable. Nobody can get between us.”
The couple announced their engagement in 2024, choosing to keep the news private for a year.
"We wanted to enjoy our privacy before we announced it to everybody," Lenee said.
