Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt is dating the son of former Kansas City quarterback Trent Green, it has been revealed.
Gracie, the 26-year-old daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has found love again after splitting from Patrick Mahomes’ old friend Cody Keith earlier this year.
After initially teasing her new beau last month, she then took the relationship public by sharing a photo of them together at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC.
Though despite posting a number of pictures, the identity of Hunt’s boyfriend was a mystery after she failed to either mention him in the caption or tag him.
Yet as revealed by The New York Post, the mystery man in question is Derek Green – the youngest son of ex-Chiefs passer Trent.
Trent spent six seasons with Kansas City at the back end of his NFL career, making 90 appearances and throwing 1,752 passes for 21,778 yards and 120 touchdowns.

During his previous stint with the formerly-named St. Louis Rams, the Iowa-born star was part of the team who won the Super Bowl in 2000, despite not actually featuring himself due to injury.
Son Derek attempted to follow in his footsteps by playing quarterback for SMU, a private university in Dallas, from 2018 to 2021, before he transferred to Long Island University in 2022. Gracie also attended SMU.
According to his LinkedIn, Hunt’s new manworks as a sports operations manager in Kansas City.
Gracie has hard-launched their relationship over the past month, recently uploading several photos from a vacation together on Instagram.
‘My heart is full,’ she captioned the post. ‘Grateful for some much-needed time to rest, reflect, and reset after a whirlwind few months post-football season.
‘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.’
It is unclear exactly how they met, but at the beginning of the month Gracie revealed sparks first flew between them at Arrowhead Stadium when she shared a video on her Instagram story with her arms around a man at the home of the Chiefs.
In a heartfelt caption, she wrote: ‘After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place… all along there was some invisible string.’

That post all but confirmed 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 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.
