Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has gone public about her romance with Derek Green.

But who exactly is Gracie Hunt's beau Derek Green?
Derek Green is the son of former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. He is the youngest of Trent Green's two sons, both of whom also played quarterback in their respective college football teams.
Trent Green had a long career in the NFL, spending 15 years in the league. He played for the Chiefs from 2001 to 2006, coming to Arrowhead just a year after winning the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams. Now his son is apparently dating the team's heiress.
Derek Green played quarterback for SMU, a private university in Dallas, from 2018 to 2021 before transferring to Long Island University in 2022. Both Gracie Hunt and her father, Clark Hunt, also attended SMU. However, according to his LinkedIn, he did not pursue a career in the NFL like his dad, instead opting to work as a sports operations manager in Kansas City.
Derek Green's romance with Gracie Hunt was hinted at by the latter in a previous Instagram story that showed Hunt hugging a mystery man as they stood overlooking the Arrowhead Stadium. That mystery man is now believed to have been Green.
The couple was also spotted attending the White House Correspondents' dinner together in late April, which is where the rumours of a budding romance between the two originated. Now, the hard launch is apparently complete as the couple gets ready to navigate their journey in the limelight.

"Desperate to be a winner": Is Patrick Mahomes trying to become Jalen Hurts? Fans react to Chiefs QB's new transformation
Patrick Mahomes raises eyebrows with sudden transformation after defeat to Jalen Hurts (Getty Images) Patrick Mahomes isn't just showing up with new goals this offseason—he's doing it with a whole new look. Following the Kansas City Chiefs' humbling defeat at the hands of Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, fans have started noticing something different about the two-time MVP. And it's not just the box scores that have them talking—it's Mahomes' revamped appearance that's been raising eyebrows. Copying Jalen Hurts? Patrick Mahomes' new facial makeover has NFL fans buzzing after Chiefs' Super Bowl loss The showdown between Mahomes and Hurts has quickly become one of the NFL's most electrifying rivalries. Their head-to-head matchups have each told a different story. In their first Super Bowl clash, Mahomes emerged victorious, showcasing the kind of brilliance fans have come to expect. But their latest meeting flipped the narrative, with the Eagles dominating the Chiefs and effectively putting the game out of reach by halftime. In the months since, Mahomes has undergone more than just offseason training. During an April 23 interview with KCTV 5, the quarterback revealed the end of an era: his trademark mohawk was gone. 'I told everybody during the season that win or lose, if we win three in a row or if we lose, I'm getting a haircut like that's enough,' Mahomes said, marking the moment as a turning point. But fans weren't just seeing a haircut. Mahomes recently appeared in offseason training photos donning a mustache and neatly groomed beard—strikingly similar to the facial hair that Jalen Hurts has consistently rocked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo This style shift has sparked speculation, with some wondering if Mahomes is subtly channeling his rival's persona. Critics suggest it could be a mind game, a nod to Hurts' recent dominance, or perhaps even an effort to mentally reset after a season that fell short of history. Others view the transformation as symbolic—a signal that Mahomes is entering a new phase of leadership, ready to rewrite the next chapter of his legacy. What's clear is that in the world of pro sports, changes in appearance often reflect more than just style choices. For athletes like Mahomes, these adjustments can mirror internal shifts: a sharpened focus, renewed motivation, or a quiet declaration that something big is on the horizon. While some believe Mahomes may be influenced by Hurts' swagger, there's no definitive evidence pointing to imitation. The Chiefs star has always carved his own path, and this latest transformation could simply be about personal growth after a tough loss. Either way, it's impossible to ignore the timing—or the message it might be sending. With betting odds already placing the Eagles, Ravens, and Bills ahead of the Chiefs for Super Bowl 60, Mahomes has all the motivation he needs. But don't count out Kansas City just yet. Mahomes has made a career out of defying expectations, and with a fresh look and fire in his eyes, the next act could be his most compelling yet. The rivalry continues—and it just got a little more personal. Also Read: Aaron Rodgers wastes no time building bond with DK Metcalf, goes viral for golf outing photo at Cam Heyward's event

Aaron Rodgers secretly ties the knot: Steelers' new QB reveals he's been married for months
Aaron Rodgers secretly ties the knot In a twist worthy of a Hollywood script, NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers has revealed he's been married for 'a couple months'- and almost no one saw it coming! The Pittsburgh Steelers' newly signed quarterback dropped the bombshell while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, flashing a wedding ring that had already sparked speculation in recent team photos. Rodgers, 41, has long been a headline magnet for both his on-field heroics and his high-profile romances. But this time, the four-time NFL MVP pulled off the ultimate quarterback sneak, keeping his nuptials under wraps until now. The identity of Rodgers' bride remains a mystery, though fans are buzzing about 'Brittany,' a woman Rodgers referenced as his girlfriend during a December appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. 'There was one package left for my girlfriend Brittany that hadn't showed up yet,' he teased at the time. 'It's a good feeling, boys,' Rodgers added, hinting at his happiness in love. Rodgers' relationship history is well documented- and often dissected. He previously dated actress Olivia Munn (2014-2017), former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick (2018-2020), and actress Shailene Woodley (2020-2022). In his new Netflix docuseries 'Enigma,' Rodgers reflected on the challenges of dating in the public eye, admitting, 'I didn't do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye.' Now, as Rodgers embarks on a new chapter in Pittsburgh- both professionally and personally- fans are left to wonder: Who is the lucky Mrs. Rodgers? For now, the quarterback is content to let his ring (and his arm) do the talking, as he prepares to lead the Steelers with a little extra sparkle on his finger.
