Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt dating former college football quarterback

Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and Tavia Shackles, has confirmed her relationship with former college football quarterback Cody Keith.

Hunt, 25, is a major internet celebrity with over 550,000 followers on Instagram and is often seen at Chiefs games. The former Miss Kansas USA winner is an heiress to the Clark family's $24.8 billion fortune and could continue the tradition of owning the organization in the future.

Fans have often wondered about Hunt's relationship status, and she's now made it Instagram official after posting pictures with Keith. The pair were in Atlanta to watch the Chiefs take on the Falcons in "Sunday Night Football", a game Kansas City edged 22-17.

It's not known how long they've been dating, but it's the first hint that Hunt has offered her fans on social media. Keith was on the right path to make it in the NFL after playing football at East Carolina University before taking part in pro minicamps. The aspiring quarterback was held back by injuries and now works in real estate.

According to Pro Football Network, Keith spent time on minicamps at the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, and Washington Commanders, but failed to land himself a roster spot. Keith suffered several injuries which ended his dreams of becoming a quarterback, but he's since focused on real estate.

Keith works for The Keith Corporation (TKC) which is a family real estate business located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The business has a bio page listed for Keith, which reads: "In his junior year of high school, the Keith family made the decision to uproot and move 2,400 miles west to Pasadena, California.

"After high school, Cody came back east to accept a full athletic football scholarship to East Carolina University where he graduated in 3 1/2 years with a Bachelor of Science degree. After college, Cody was offered numerous invitations to participate in NFL rookie mini-camps around the country.

"He chose to attend training camp with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins, and Indianapolis Colts. After his time in the NFL, he accepted a pre-season roster spot to play football in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

"For the next 2 years, Cody chased his dream of again playing football in the NFL. He was able to attend numerous other NFL/CFL training camps and one-on-one individual workouts to showcase his skill set in front of owners, general managers, offensive coordinators, and head coaches.

"He continues to maintain strong relationships with a plethora of NFL players and coaches. These relationships have driven business for The Keith Corporation in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, New Mexico, California, and Connecticut."
