The 3x Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and his wife Tavia Hunt have been married for almost three decades. That kind of long-time commitment requires trust and unfathomable love between the couple. And now, Gracie Hunt, the 23-year-old daughter of the power couple, has shared the touching story of how her parents met for the first time.
The Maxim model recently had a Q&A session with her followers on her Instagram account. During the interactive session, a person asked Gracie Hunt about the story of how her parents, Tavia and Clark Hunt, met. To which, the pageant queen answered with the touching love story of their first interaction. “My mom was a college intern working in the Chiefs PR department and my dad saw her, and said it was love at first conversation,” wrote Gracie on her Instagram story.
Furthermore, the former Miss Kansas also shared how her grandparents, Lamar Hunt, and Norma Hunt, met for the first time on the same Instagram story. “My Mimi (Norma Hunt) and Pappy (Lamar Hunt) met when she was selling season tickets for the Dallas Texans as a school teacher volunteer,” wrote Gracie.
The Hunt family has owned the Kansas-based football team since the team’s foundation in 1959 by Gracie’s grandfather Lamar Hunt. Furthermore, to commemorate the contributions of Lamar Hunt to the NFL, the AFC Championship trophy has been named after him.
Gracie Hunt entered the beauty pageant industry under the guidance of her mom
Gracie Hunt grew up as a sports fan and dreamt of playing soccer during her college days. But unfortunately, she couldn’t continue playing the game she loved due to multiple head injuries which resulted in four concussions.
So as a next step, she entered the beauty pageant industry without any experience but had the guidance of her mom, Tavia, who also won the Miss Kansas contest way back in 1993.
“I ended up suffering my fourth concussion, which took me out of soccer, which was my first love. I wanted to play in college. And it totally devastated me as a young person who had my identity wrapped up in the soccer field. My mom had competed at Miss USA in 1993 and knew a thing or two about the industry. She was second runner-up to Miss USA her year. She took me under her wing, showed me the ropes. I won the first pageant I ever entered and the rest is history,” said Gracie in a recent sit down with the INTERVIEW magazine.
Apart from being a model and working in the public relations department of the Chiefs, the blonde bombshell also has a high ambition of becoming the first female commissioner of the National Football League.
