Gracie Hunt, the 26-year-old billionaire heiress of the Kansas City Chiefs, continues to be a prominent and unwavering figure for the NFL franchise. Known for her visible presence cheering on the team, Hunt has now publicly shared intimate details about the source of her personal joy: her relationship with boyfriend Derek Green.
A Lifelong Connection Rekindled
In a recent conversation with PEOPLE magazine, Gracie Hunt opened up about her deep bond with Derek Green, who is the son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. She revealed that their connection is not a new one. "Derek and I have known each other our whole lives," Hunt stated, painting a picture of a relationship rooted in shared history.
She elaborated that their earliest interactions happened during childhood. "We would actually play together as babies during the Chiefs’ Christmas parties every year," she shared. The pair then lost touch, only to reconnect as adults in a fitting setting. "We reconnected as adults in 2017 and met on the sidelines pregame," Hunt explained. The romance truly blossomed earlier this year. "We reconnected in early March and have been inseparable ever since," she added, highlighting the swift and solid progression of their relationship.
Public Declarations of Love and Friendship
Gracie Hunt has not been shy about expressing her affection for Derek Green on her social media platforms, where she frequently refers to him as her "best friend." She made their relationship official to the public last year, just a few weeks before the current NFL season kicked off.
While initially keeping his face hidden, Hunt posted a heartfelt photograph of the couple embracing at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs' home ground. The caption was equally poignant, quoting lyrics from Taylor Swift's 2020 song "Invisible String." It read, "After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place … all along there was some invisible string…" This public acknowledgment underscored the significance of their shared past and present.
Unwavering Support Through a Tough Season
Amidst sharing her personal happiness, Gracie Hunt's dedication to the Kansas City Chiefs remains steadfast. The team and its fans entered the current season with high hopes, especially after the brutal loss at the Super Bowl last season against the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, the Chiefs have recorded a relatively average performance on the field this season. Despite the team's struggles and the disappointing turn of events, Gracie Hunt has continued to stand by the franchise. She is regularly spotted cheering alongside her family, demonstrating the same passion and loyalty that has defined her association with the team through all its good and bad days.
Her story beautifully intertwines personal bliss with professional allegiance, showcasing a heiress who is as committed to her team's legacy as she is to building her own future with a lifelong friend turned partner.
