The Kansas City Chiefs may be wobbling after back-to-back early-season losses, but Gracie Hunt isn’t losing sight of the bigger picture. The 26-year-old heiress and daughter of Chiefs’ billionaire owners Clark and Tavia Hunt has long been one of the franchise’s most visible figures, balancing family legacy with her own path. In addition to her ties to football, Gracie’s world stretches far beyond the sideline.

At her core, she’s a nature lover and a former competitive soccer player. Colorado has become her home away from home, the perfect escape for her to live a healthy, active lifestyle. Raised in Dallas on a sprawling 1.3-acre property in the Highland Park neighborhood, Gracie grew up in a 12,300-square-foot mansion with six bedrooms and sweeping lawns—a backdrop that made luxury a part of her everyday.

Gracie just shared on Instagram a fresh milestone: buying a new home. Her story showed a bouquet of what appeared to be white hydrangeas, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne, and a card with her name on it, captioned with thanks to her “dear friend” and realtor, Gianna Cerullo, a luxury real estate expert. For someone who grew up in a mansion, it feels like the next natural move: carving out her own space, on her own terms, with that same air of refinement.

Gracie has built an entire influencer brand around her sideline style. Chiefs Sundays turn into fashion showcases—whether it was the Dolce & Gabbana crop top under a vintage windbreaker in 2022, the Tom Ford leather skirt that stole the spotlight in 2023, or the Balmain red crop top she sported in October of that year. In June 2024, Gracie stole the show at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl ring ceremony. Wearing a Roberto Cavalli red-hot gown with flame details, she captioned her Instagram post “Chiefs on fire.”

The gown itself mirrored the team’s streak—two championships in two years. Her parents, Clark and Tavia, matched the energy with gold-themed looks, and fans couldn’t stop buzzing about the Hunt family’s red carpet dominance. For Gracie, the mix of family legacy, fashion statement, and now a brand-new home signals more than lifestyle—it’s the stage she’s setting for the next chapter.

Gracie Hunt finds her match in Derek Green?

Gracie Hunt and Derek Green, son of former Chiefs QB Trent Green, were basically raised under the same Arrowhead roof. “Derek and I have known each other our whole lives,” Gracie told PEOPLE exclusively. “We would actually play together as babies during the Chiefs’ Christmas parties every year, and then we reconnected as adults in 2017 and met on the sidelines pregame.” From baby playdates to stadium sidelines, it feels like the Chiefs’ dynasty was always weaving its story in the background.

And then fate pushed the throttle. “We reconnected in early March and have been inseparable ever since,” she admitted. The timing was poetic—Gracie had just ended her relationship with country artist Cody Keith before the Chiefs’ playoff run, and while she focused on family and her own pursuits, life had other plans. By May 2025, she went Instagram-official with Derek, holding hands on vacation, the hard launch every heiress delivers with precision. Her caption read like a soft hymn to fresh starts: “My heart is full. 🫶🏼 Grateful for some much-needed time to rest, reflect, and reset after a whirlwind few months post-football season.”

What’s striking is how true the romance runs back to her own compass. Earlier this year, Gracie told PEOPLE what mattered most: “Whoever you choose to date, they should have a faith, have a strong moral compass and be aligned — and then beyond that you’ll eventually find the right person.” And here she is, finding that alignment with the son of a quarterback who once carried her family’s franchise. A love story born in Arrowhead’s corridors, rekindled by timing, and cemented by values. For Gracie Hunt, it feels less like a coincidence and more like destiny finally showing its hand.
