Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt is preparing to walk down the wedding aisle after announcing her engagement to boyfriend Derek Green.
“It was always you,” Hunt, 27, wrote via a joint Instagram post shared on Saturday, April 4, announcing their engagement alongside a slew of photos featuring Green, 26, and the pair — including her now fiancé on one knee — during the monumental moment.
Hunt could be seen wearing a floor-length, sleeveless white dress for the special occasion, while Green decided to wear a dapper light gray suit. The pair, who enjoyed an outdoor proposal at an altar decorated adorned with white flowers and matching candles, were also pictured holding hands after Hunt said “yes.”
While the proposal itself appeared to be an intimate affair — complete with a show-stopping emerald-cut engagement ring encrusted with white diamonds and an emerald stone — the newly-engaged pair were later joined with some of their most nearest and dearest to celebrate their impending nuptials.

Hunt’s father, Clark Hunt, as well as her mom, Tavia Hunt, were in attendance, in addition to Green’s parents, Trent Green and Julie Green.
Gracie and Green — who hard-launched their relationship in May 2025 — have been “friends since 2017,” according to the heiress. (Gracie is a member of one of the wealthiest families in the United States, with a net worth reportedly valued at around $3 billion, according to Sports Illustrated.)

In July 2025, Gracie revealed she was “dating my best friend” via an Instagram post featuring Kansas City Chiefs WAG and pop superstar Taylor Swift’s hit song “You Belong With Me.” (Swift, for her part, famously got engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in August of that same year.)
Prior to the pair’s social media debut, Gracie teased her relationship in an April 2025 Instagram video that she since-deleted.
“After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place… all along there was some invisible string,” she reportedly wrote over the video, according to the New York Post. In the deleted video, Gracie was reportedly seen wrapping her arms around Green, whose identity remained a mystery at the time as Gracie declined to publicly reveal his name.
Green responded to the pair’s engagement announcement, writing in the comments section, “FOREVER AND EVER” along with two red heart emojis.
Plenty of A-list friends also shared their congratulations in the comments section.
