Gracie Hunt shows she's head over heels with former Chiefs QB's son

Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, has taken her relationship public in a way that blends NFL history with modern romance.

In a recent Instagram post, the former Miss Kansas USA confirmed she is dating Derek Green, son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green, sharing a series of affectionate images that made their relationship "Instagram official."

The post featured photos of the pair holding hands, relaxing poolside, and clinking juice shots during a sun-soaked vacation.

In the caption, Gracie reflected on her need for rest and time with loved ones following a hectic NFL season, which ended with the Chiefs falling short of a third consecutive Super Bowl title.

"My heart is full. Grateful for some much-needed time to rest, reflect, and reset after a whirlwind few months post-football season," Hunt wrote.

"So thankful for time with the people who keep me grounded, remind me I'm loved, and never fail to make me laugh. Swipe for a few favorite snapshots from life lately."

Chiefs roots run deep in this new couple's story

Derek Green, who played quarterback at Southern Methodist University (SMU) between 2018 and 2021 before transferring to Long Island University, now works as a sports operations manager in Kansas City, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Notably, SMU also happens to be the alma mater of both Gracie and her father Clark, suggesting that the couple may have first met during their time on campus.

This romantic connection has roots that extend into the Chiefs' rich history. Derek's father, Trent Green, spent six seasons as the team's starting quarterback from 2001 to 2006 and is ed fondly by fans for leading Kansas City to multiple playoff appearances and Pro Bowl seasons. Now, his son is in the spotlight for reasons far from the gridiron.

The newly confirmed couple had already sparked speculation weeks earlier. At the end of April, Gracie and Derek appeared together at the prestigious White House Correspondents' Dinner, a high-profile event that many fans saw as a soft launch of their relationship.

Then, in a more cryptic social media post, Gracie shared an Instagram Story showing her and a mystery man standing arm-in-arm at Arrowhead Stadium. The caption, a lyric from Taylor Swift's "Invisible String," hinted at a long connection: "After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place ... all along there was some invisible string."

That subtle hint is now confirmed, with the full reveal showing a relationship rooted in shared history and local legacy. Before this, Gracie was most notably linked to real estate broker Cody Keith, but her recent posts suggest that chapter has quietly closed.

With both families holding strong ties to the Chiefs franchise, this pairing marks a unique convergence of Kansas City football royalty. While the Hunt family continues to lead the organization into another NFL season, Gracie's personal life appears to be flourishing as well.

Though neither she nor Green has offered public comment beyond social media, their connection-both familial and romantic-offers a feel-good narrative for Chiefs fans as the offseason unfolds.
