Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Glows in Bridal White at Sweetheart Ball

Gracie Hunt, the oldest Kansas City Chiefs heires, showed off her massive ring while rocking a white gown at the Sweeatheart Ball last weekend.
The 27-year-old Gracie is the daughter of team owner Clark Hunt and a former Miss Kansas. She’s always a hit on game days like her head-turning gold dress during the Super Bowl in 2025.
She’s now engaged to Derek Green, who is the son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green.
The couple first announced they are together in photos at Arrowhead Stadium in early 2025. They’ve since been seen all over together from vacations to the White House.
Gracie shared the epic proposal and wrote, “It was always you 💍❤️ ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.’ Romans.”
She’d later flex her giant engagement ring.
Gracie’s Mom threw a championship-worthy gala that raised millions
Tavia Hunt brought out 40 sports trophies including the Lombardi Trophies (NFL), the Larry O’Brien Trophy (NBA), the FIFA World Cup Trophy (soccer), and the World Series Trophy (baseball) for the 44th annual Sweetheart Ball.
The fundraiser took place at Brook Hollow Golf Club, raising money for cardiology research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, D Magazine reported.
Gracie wrote on Instagram, "Mom, watching you chair the Sweetheart Ball was something I’ll never forget. The endless hours, every single detail, the pure dedication—all to create a magical night that raised millions for UT Southwestern.
"Anyone who’s had the privilege of working alongside you already knows: you are an absolute force with the heart of a champion. ♥️🏆. I'm so grateful to not only have you as a role model, but to call you mom & my best friend."
The party was so successful, "I think we’ll just let you plan the wedding," Gracie wrote to her mom in a second Instagram post.
She also made it clear that the color of her Roberto Cavalli dress was on purpose. "In my white gown era," Gracie added in third Instagram post.
