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.

Vaani Kapoor on facing trolling: You have to decide if you are going to become hateful and frustrated
Vaani Kapoor has been subjected to a mix bag of emotions and reception this year professionally. While she achieved success with Raid 2 and garnered appreciation for her OTT debut with Mandala Murders recently, the controversy around Abir Gulaal made her a target for a lot of backlash and criticism. Vaani Kapoor(Photo: Instagram) Ask her how she dealt with it and Vaani Kapoor shares, 'As a human being, you can figure out who you really are, when you are at your lowest. That's when you decide if you are going to become cynical, hateful and frustrated because it's so easy to go down that road. You can either be like 'it's not my problem',or get into the self victim mode where you are like all bad things happen to me. It's easy to rile yourself up in those thoughts.' But it's spirituality that helped her: 'I am spiritually driven as well and I know how to bring myself back to the centre. Also, I do love my job and it's not like I have not received love. People have been kind to me as well, and I value that a lot. All you need at that point is a glimmer of hope. Luckily, I've always had a project to look forward to next and start fresh. That's all I can do as that's all that there is in my hands,' she says. The actor adds, 'Of course restlessness happens, and anxiety takes over. You are also fighting the pre-conceived notions and judgement from everywhere. People have access to put in their opinions, especially due to social media, and sometimes they can be really brutal. I get that most of it is noise, but there are people who give you honest constructive feedback. So, I have learned how to separate noise from feedback.' But even with that attitude, sometimes the negativity gets to her too: 'I'm also on those platforms, and sometimes it hurts you and stings you a little. You feel why would someone be mean, why would they go personal, or why would they berate somebody. But then I choose to react better to it. I ask myself do I want to give up because I got bullied or I got hate or do I want to continue? I still believe in myself, and there are people who believe in me, so I can't complain much. But do I want more? Yes, of course I want more and better work.'

Why Andy Samberg is being roasted after Seth Meyers' dog Frisbee's death, ‘May her ghost haunt him forever'
Seth Meyers is mourning the death of his beloved dog Frisbee, who was famously disliked by Andy Samberg. The Saturday Night Live alum announced his family's Italian Greyhound's death via an Instagram post. Why Andy Samberg is being roasted after Seth Meyers' dog Frisbee's death (sethmeyers/Instagram, photo by Chris DELMAS / AFP) 'RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with. She was at her best curled in your lap and patient when we dressed her up like a pilgrim. Thanks for 14 amazing years, girl,' Meyers wrote, sharing several photos of Frisbee. Coincidentally, Frisbee died a day after Samberg's 47th birthday. Samberg had often expressed his playful dislike for the Meyers' dog, which has now led to social media users roasting him. 'That dog sucks' Samberg appeared on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast in July, where Meyers asked Poehler to prank Samberg by telling him that Frisbee died. Samberg said after Poehler broke the 'news,' to him, 'Don't even play, 'cause I'll be so happy.' He added, 'I will never back off that. That dog sucks, dude. And I know this is a good vibes cast, so I don't even want to bring that energy, but that dog is like a rat carcass.'

'He's hated my dog since she was little and now she's 14 years old,' Meyers said. 'Here's a true thing he did: I sent our Christmas card — Frisbee's in it every year — he scratched out her face like a serial killer and mailed it back.' Frisbee did not like Samberg either, Meyers said, so the feeling was mutual. Meyers reposted People's coverage of Frisbee's death and Samberg's disdain, writing on X, "She also disliked him, FWIW." 'May her ghost haunt Andy Samberg forever,' Samberg is now being roasted in the comment section of Meyers' Instagram post announcing Frisbee's death. 'May her ghost haunt Andy Samberg forever,' one user wrote, while another said, 'Does anyone have an alibi for samberg?!' 'So very sorry. May her memory be a blessing to all those who loved her. And may it haunt Andy Samberg all the days of his life. Frisbee,' wrote a user. One said, 'Very sorry for your loss, I hope she haunts Andy samberg for years to come'. 'Frisbee getting the last laugh by dying for Andy's birthday is diabolical,' one user said, while another wrote, 'Out loud went 'Nooo' and then 'oh Andy must be so happy'.' One user wrote, 'I'm sorry for you and your family. I can't believe she died near Samberg's birthday. We need his reaction. Maybe you should have him pick out your next dog.'
