Who Is Derek Green? Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Reveals Mystery Boyfriend Who Is Son of Former Kansas City Quarterback
Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt is dating Derek Green, son of former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Green, who played six seasons with the Chiefs. Gracie, the 26-year-old daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, made her relationship public on Instagram this week, a year after splitting with Patrick Mahomes' old friend Cody Keith.
Hunt, a former Miss Kansas USA, shared a series of vacation photos in a carousel post that featured her and Green holding hands, indirectly making her relationship with Green official. One of the photos show the couple by a pool, while a video clip showed the pair taking a juice shot together, the New York Post reported on Saturday.
Making Her Relationship Public
"My heart is full. Grateful for some much-needed time to rest, reflect, and reset after a whirlwind few months post-football season," Gracie wrote. "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. ☺️."
Trent Green wrapped up his NFL career with six seasons in Kansas City, where he played in 90 games and recorded 1,752 passes for 21,778 yards and 120 touchdowns.
Earlier in his career, he was part of the 2000 Super Bowl-winning St. Louis Rams team, although he didn't play in the championship game due to an injury.
His son Derek tried to follow a similar path, playing as a quarterback at Southern Methodist University (SMU) from 2018 to 2021 before transferring to Long Island University in 2022. Gracie Hunt also attended SMU.
Derek currently works as a sports operations manager based in Kansas City, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Gracie has hard-launched their relationship over the past month after posting a photo with Derek during the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC. However, she made the relationship official only on Friday.
Without a Care
It remains unclear how exactly their relationship began, but earlier this month, Gracie hinted that sparks flew between them at Arrowhead Stadium. She posted an Instagram Story showing herself with her arms around a man at the Chiefs' home field.
In a touching message, she wrote, "After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place... all along there was some invisible string."
Gracie is the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, whose estimated net worth is around $1.4 billion.
That post all but confirmed her breakup with Keith, after several months of silence about him on social media and the apparent removal of their past photos together. Meanwhile, Keith set his own Instagram account to private, fueling speculation about their split.
Back in December, Gracie had spoken about her relationship with Keith, sharing that he had received Mahomes' approval.
"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 details surrounding their breakup remain unclear, but when Hunt celebrated her birthday in March, Keith — a real estate broker — was noticeably absent in the photos.

Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault trial to conclude with closing arguments
FILE PHOTO: Harvey Weinstein appears for his retrial at the Manhattan criminal court, New York, U.S., May 30 2025. Yuki Iwamura/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo NEW YORK - Harvey Weinstein's rape and sexual assault trial is set to wrap up with closing arguments to the jury by prosecutors and defense lawyers on Tuesday in Manhattan, a year after a state appeals court overturned the former movie mogul's 2020 conviction. Weinstein, 73, is accused of raping an actress and assaulting two women in what prosecutors have called a pattern in which the onetime Hollywood kingmaker used his power and influence to lure in victims and then keep them silent. The Miramax studio co-founder has pleaded not guilty and has denied ever having non-consensual sex with anyone. Weinstein, suffering from a litany of health problems, was present throughout the trial in a wheelchair. Weinstein already will likely spend the rest of his life in prison due to a 16-year prison sentence for rape in California. Weinstein was convicted of rape by a jury in a previous trial in Manhattan in February 2020, but the New York Court of Appeals in April 2024 threw out the conviction and ordered a new trial, citing errors by the trial judge. Weinstein had been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York, when the conviction was overturned. That conviction had been a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by powerful men. Weinstein has been held at New York City's Rikers Island jail since his conviction was overturned. He has had several health scares while being held at Rikers, and in September was rushed to a hospital for emergency heart surgery. Prosecutors with the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg have portrayed Weinstein as a serial predator who promised career advancement in Hollywood to women, only to then coax them into private settings where he attacked them. Weinstein's lawyer Arthur Aidala rejected that characterization during his opening statement to the jury, saying the Oscar-winning producer had "mutually beneficial" relationships with his accusers, who ended up with auditions and other show business opportunities. Bragg's office originally accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting former production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013, charges he was convicted of in the first trial. For the retrial, prosecutors added a new charge that Weinstein assaulted another woman in Manhattan in 2002. The woman, Kaja Sokola of Poland, testified that Weinstein assaulted her in a Manhattan hotel room. More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of misconduct. He has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex. Miramax studio produced many hit movies in its heyday, including "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction." Weinstein's own eponymous film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018, five months after the original sexual misconduct accusations became widely publicized.
