Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt, the daughter of the owner of the NFL team Clark Hunt, has launched her new relationship after an apparent split with Cody Keith, an old friend of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The 26-year-old shared a video on her Instagram story on Saturday with her arms around her new man at Arrowhead Stadium.

In a heartfelt caption, she wrote: ‘After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place… all along there was some invisible string.’

Hunt stopped short of revealing the identity of her new man but the signals are that he works for the Chiefs in some capacity, given they were both at Arrowhead in the heart of the NFL offseason.

Her post all but confirms her split with Keith as well after a couple of months on social media without mentioning him, as well as appearing to delete past pictures of him. Keith has also put his own Instagram page on private amid rumors of their breakup.

Opening up on her romance with Keith back in December, Hunt revealed that he had the stamp of approval from Mahomes.

‘I love the Chiefs and I love football season. He grew up playing football and he and Patrick actually trained together out of college,’ she told OutKick.

‘They had a pre-existing friendship and it is just so funny how small the world is.

‘They have been buddies this whole time, and it took him all this time to meet me.’

The nature of their split is unknown from there but when Hunt recently celebrated her birthday in March, there were no pictures of Keith – who works as a real estate broker.

He was also not believed to have joined her for the Super Bowl in February, where the Chiefs were beaten by the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

Hunt told OutKick that Keith was based in North Carolina but was making regular visits.

‘We are grateful that we can easily travel to see each other,’ she said.

‘He has made a huge effort to come to the games this year which has been so much fun to get to share football season with him.

‘I get out there as much as I can. t has been a wonderful year. I couldn’t have cooked it up in my playbook. I’m grateful for all of it.’

Her family have owned the franchise since 1963 and it was inherited by her father, Clark, when his father Lamar passed away in 2006.

Clark Hunt has an estimated wealth of $1.4billion, with the Chiefs estimated by Forbes to be worth around $4.2billion.
