Clark Hunt & Wife Tavia’s Emotional Message on Son’s Graduation After Daughter Gracie’s Mother’s Day Confession

Family milestones have a funny way of making people emotional, especially when they come back-to-back. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and his family are no strangers to big moments. They’ve been in the spotlight for years, juggling life, legacy, and football. But sometimes, something personal slips through the glam and glitter. And fans get a little peek into the softer side of things. The Hunt family has been on a heartfelt streak lately, sharing emotional shoutouts during special moments. 

First, it was Gracie Hunt who tugged at hearts with a Mother’s Day shoutout. And now, it’s mom Tavia herself who just shared a heartfelt update with her followers. So, what’s the latest from the Hunt family? Well, Tavia Hunt just penned a heartfelt message to her son, Knobel, who officially graduated from Southern Methodist University. On Saturday, the proud mom of three shared a sweet series of pictures from his big day. “Dear Knobel, The day you were born, God gave us one of our greatest blessings and watching you grow into the man you are today has been one of the deepest joys of our lives. You’ve always lived up to your name: noble in spirit, strong in conviction, and full of life and love,” she began. 

Knobel, 22, is the second child of Clark and Tavia Hunt. He graduated with a BBA in Finance. During his time at SMU, he also played for the university’s soccer team. Alongside photos from his graduation day, Tavia reflected on the journey that led to this milestone. “This milestone, your college graduation, is more than a celebration of what you’ve accomplished; it’s a marker of how far you’ve come,” she wrote.

But her message wasn’t just about looking back. As a mom, she also reminded him of what lies ahead as he moves to New York to begin a new chapter. “As you step into this exciting new chapter in New York, remember who you are and whose you are. You are a Hunt, and represent our family, yes, but more importantly, you are God’s. Never forget where you came from, the values you were raised with, and the faith that has always been your anchor,” she added.

While Tavia was celebrating Knobel’s big milestone, the family shared another emotional moment just last week. And this one came from daughter Gracie.

Gracie’s heartfelt tribute to mom Tavia Hunt

Last week, on Mother’s Day, Gracie Hunt took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message for her mom, Tavia. Sharing a series of pictures featuring her mom and “best friend,” she wrote, “Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest 💖 @TaviaHunt. You’re really Wonder Woman—you do it all with excellence and make it look easy. From your faith to how you love others, you’re an incredible role model.” That’s adorable.

Born in 1999, Gracie is the first child of Clark and Tavia Hunt. Like her mom, she’s also involved in beauty pageants. Speaking about following in her mother’s footsteps and the best advice she’s received, Gracie once shared, “She tells me, ‘Just be you. You are enough.’ It’s really nice to get to walk down a road with someone who has been down that path before. It really has just bonded us so much.“

Gracie is often spotted at Kansas City Chiefs events with her mom, whether it’s cheering during the game season or attending other events in the offseason. Thanking her mother, she further added, “You raise the level for everyone’s life you impact, and make me strive to grow each day. Selfless love is just how you live. You’re the best, and I couldn’t ask for a better momma or best friend. 🫶🏼“

These moments show that behind all the fame and family stuff, it’s the real, down-to-earth connections that truly define the Hunts. And if this is any sign, we can expect plenty more love and special memories coming their way.
