Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt: Love, Travel, and Football in the Offseason
CHEFS' KINGDOM ROYALTY: GRACIE HUNT SPILLS ON ROMANCE, TRAVEL, AND THE SECRET TO HER FAMILY'S ENDURING SUCCESS
In a revealing exclusive interview with People magazine, Gracie Hunt, the stunning daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, opens up about her whirlwind romance with Derek Green, son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. But that's not all - we get a sneak peek into her glamorous international travels, family ties, and what drives this beauty to excel in every aspect of her life.
Gracie, 26, gushes about her new beau, "Derek and I have known each other our whole lives! We would play together as babies during the Chiefs' Christmas parties every year. And then we reconnected as adults in 2017 on the sidelines before a game." The connection must be strong, because they've been inseparable since reconnecting in early March.
Their families' long-standing ties to the organization are undeniable - Trent Green led the Chiefs offense from 2001 to 2006. You could say these two were destined for greatness (or at least a hot romance!) . But Gracie is not one to let her love life get in the way of adventure. This NFL offseason, she jet-setted across Europe with friends and family, soaking up the sights and sounds of foreign lands.
"I took advantage of the downtime to escape the Texas heat," Gracie explains. "I explored Europe - it was so much fun! And what was even more exciting? Running into Chiefs fans abroad who were just as enthusiastic about their team as we are." She notes the experience as a testament to the Chiefs Kingdom's growing global presence: "The Chiefs Kingdom is becoming the world's team!"
But beyond romance and travel, Gracie reveals her dedication to self-improvement. During the offseason, she focuses on faith, family, business - and, of course, recharging in nature. "Every year, I make it my goal to grow spiritually, spend quality time with loved ones, explore new opportunities, and rejuvenate myself." And we're guessing that approach is working wonders for this Kansas City Chiefs princess!
The 2025-26 NFL season officially kicks off on September 4, with the Chiefs facing the Los Angeles Chargers at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil. Gracie shares her team's sentiment: "I don't truly stop thinking about football. In its absence, my love and respect for the game grow fonder... And trust me, everyone in Kansas City is just as invested!"
The 'vibes are immaculate' around the Chiefs HQ, with a renewed focus on personal growth across the organization. Gracie explains: "Everyone has really focused on becoming their best selves, doing what they need to accomplish - and it's been incredible to see!" What she's most excited about? The team's chance to compete at an even higher level this season.
As the granddaughter of legendary Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, Gracie remains a beloved public face of the franchise. We're guessing her Instagram followers are getting a glimpse into her fabulous life - and it doesn't hurt that she's making headlines for all the right reasons!
In related news (or should we say, totally unrelated?), earlier this month, Gracie shared a cheeky post on The Scholarly Note.com poking fun at the outrage surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans campaign. In her own words: "Denim days & dreamy nights. I like the view and my jeans (not American Eagles - but they are American)." It seems our Kansas City sweetheart is always ready with a witty remark!
In conclusion, Gracie Hunt has it all: love, adventure, family ties, and an unwavering commitment to her team's success. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented young woman!
